Wyze Cam Pan V3 Review - It is now Weatherproof and Cheaper!

Today, we are going to review the Wyze Cam Pan V3. This has a different and unique design compared to Wyze Cam Pan's older versions. It is now outdoor rated with an IP65 rating. We will check out its features, do a quick unboxing, set it up, install and check out its video and audio quality and run it through our tests and see if this Wyze Cam Pan V3 is going to be a good option and upgrade to your Wyze camera line up. Also, did I tell you that it is cheaper?

[@elnegrolopez1990]

It’s not I would just wait until they come out with the better version

[@MikeTrieu]

For the price, I can't complain. Decent enough resolution to identify license plates immediately in front of it, pans fast enough to track moving vehicles, pretty decent dynamic range. My one complaint it that while it pans while tracking, it doesn't seem to tilt as well. So when it places a bounding box around a detected motion subject, it often loses it because it doesn't tilt to reposition that box in the center of the frame.

When reviewing an event they removed the playback option and now you have to take extra steps to review playback event, to me It is not a very good option. Please put it back the way it is the other product. Thank you again. I Appreciate Wyze Cam very much...

[@paulmiyagishima7655]

Greetings and Happy New Year from Torrance! At first I was really excited about this product, but the image quality and motion blur was hard to get over. But, I do see this as being a visual deterrent for your house. I noticed that people don't notice cameras unless they are looking or paying attention. Because this is moving and making a slight noise, potential burglars might get nervous knowing something is tracking their movement. We all get a little nervous if we think we are being followed. This would make a great deterrent. Thanks again for all of your hard work!

[@LifeHackster]

@paulmiyagishima7655...Thanks for watching!

[@Resist4]

The motion blur is in all of the Wyze cameras, and mostly due to the low frame rate. But I doubt the slight sound would deter anyone and if a criminal saw it then they would take or destroy the camera. No criminal on the planet would get nervous of a camera if their identity is shielded when wearing a mask.

[@paulmiyagishima7655]

@@Resist4 I have to agree with you. I know in the San Francisco area, car break ins are so common, there is no fear of getting caught or identified. Its all being done in broad daylight. I tell people to try to position their cameras to try to catch license plates. It won't get their stuff back, but maybe the police could put an APB out for the car. Its reached a point that criminals aren't even worried anymore.

[@Resist4]

@@paulmiyagishima7655 And the criminals know they will be back on the streets in a day. It's a joke.

[@Firstfalconfree]

​@@Resist4 While I do agree with most of what you said, we did get a meth head off the street (albeit temporarily) with one of these cams. I knew he was stealing from the outdoor storage of my house, and loitering inside the car port, but the police wouldn't/couldn't do anything unless I proved it. Put out one of my old Wyze cams on a whim, and a few days later I got a nice clear video sent to my phone of the guy walking into my carport, noticing the camera blink at him, staring at it for a few seconds, then picking it up and stealing it. It was a lovely, full view of his face as he walked over and picked it up. Dude thought that if he stole it, no one would be the wiser. 😂 I never got my camera back, but the cops picked him up for theft of the cam (I live in Florida, so they still do that here), and he ended up having a good bit of meth on his person at the time, so that helped bump up his charges.

I was gonna ask you to do a review on this and bam there it is !

[@tomblanar2592]

Thanks for the video. I've got several Wyze cameras outdoors and have always thought it would be nice to have pan/tilt too. However, one thing I've noticed about Wyze is that they are using the razor blade marketing model...make all the profit on the consumables (in this case Cam Plus). I don't want my cam to be tethered to my wallet so it would be helpful to see this same review for the camera's usefulness without the Cam Plus subscription. Keep up the good work.

[@LifeHackster]

It is doable without subscription because of the local recording and it tags person events like the V3 PRO. Now, it will be limited to 5 minute notification cool off though... So, if notifications are not that important, then this should work fine without subscription.

The audio has too much lag which I also see with my Wyze 2 when speaking or listening. Also if you do not want to have the subscription you have to rely on the SD card and the Wyze playback function which does not work very well when you try to locate an even and play it back. The price is great so I guess these are things you have to put up with. When I use to install access control and CCTV when in my younger years about 20 years ago our equipment even back then made this look acient, but it was professional equipment.

[@shadow.banned]

Interesting design. Looks cleaner than the original.

[@Benbear2022]

Wow this camera looks great. This camera looks like it is “hackable” where you could use some double sided tape to hook up a Wyze telephoto camera on one side of the pan v3. This way you could really catch some license plates of cars in the front of your house. Do you think you could try this out?

[@chuckbecker8735]

Here in Appalachia almost everyone is dirt poor so burglars here are so desperate they do not mind at all being recognised. The extra daunting deterrence this cam's motion engenders is worth more than good video quality for our the needs of our village. Burg'lars spot the slightly movement or sound & go to the next house.

Thank you again for another detailed review! I just set up a bunch of Wyze v3 that I got from Home Depot 2 for $35, but am thinking of whether I could put one of these to use! Traditionally the Wyze app has been slower and less reliable than Eufy for connecting to cameras, but there seem to be improvements in the latest update.

[@RetiredRich]

Keep in mind these new Wyze cams including the V3 pro require cam plus you. No longer get 12 sec event recordings without it. I ended up returning 4 v3 pros and almost ordered the new pan but luckily the Wyze checkout was having issues again so I had time to reconsider. Good luck

Most likely you will need an extension cable for outdoor use. I'm not sure if Wyze is going to sell one but you can get a USB Type A extension like this -> amzn.to/3QuQW5c

[@uniqfox]

nice camera, the patrol pattern is pretty tight. my only beef would be that it looks too much like an indoor camera aesthetically speaking

[@rudabb69]

that cable is so proprietary..and those are meant to be installed mostly on ceilings and ceilings outdoors thus requiring extensions..and this should have had a pigtail end like V3..otherwise messy connection...any suggestions?

[@iblackfeathers]

the drawbacks you mention about no home position are valid as well as no magnetic mount. also, a pro version like their newer wyze cam v3 pro may have been a better choice for a new pan cam. sticking to hd seems like a step back when they look like they were moving forward with 2k cameras just several months ago.

[@BradiKal61]

Wyze is wisely first selling a bunch of 1080 V3 pan cams, and then V3 pro 2K cams, and finally they'll put out the 2K V3 Pan Cam Pros. That last version Im guessing will come in around $80 - $90.

So, my homebuilt DIY security cams use a RPi board running MotioneyeOS for their operating systems, with a Pi tilt and pan module and the standard RPi camera module. I can access each one through any web browser on the local network, and from a remote client if I enable port forwarding on my router. Motioneye can be configured through a client web browser to record loop, record on motion sense, email stills or videos on motion sense, and I can display live cam on a web browser. Motion sense threshholds, idle time, etc are all completely cusomizable. I use Brave for a browser, of course. All I need for access from any device is the unit's IP address, a userID and a password, which can be saved of course for instant logon. I don't have night color capability and I don't have audio, though I could incorporate that on the side with only a very small amount of python coding. Honestly, I don't want to talk to people seeking to disturb me, and I don't give two shits whether or not their sock color matches their tshirt and accessories. My cams that are out in the sun have solar charging, and run completely wireless. I do not need a subscription or a special "app". How does that compare to this camera, which I must admit is very cheap.? Can you run those cams without resorting to using someone else's "app" on your computer or phone? Why is there a "subscription", apart from milking the customer for extra money? Tell me, because if the answers please me, I will probably buy a few. If not, then this is like all the rest of the security cams on aliexpress, fleabay, amazon, etc. Just ripoffs. Oh wait... you can't even zoom? I'll stick to my Pi cams, for just a few dollars more.

[@martinschuessler1936]

Here's what concerns me: The right-angle USB connector. It's use so that the base can sit on a flat surface or when it's mounted to the wall mount plate. But that limits you to use ONLY the included USB cable - which is useless if you need a longer cable. If you mount it in the wall plate, could you drill a hole through that plate to allow a straight plug to connect it to power? I realize that it potentially exposes the power connector to the elements, but it seems like that could be fixed with a dab of silicone...

I know on your review of the new OG cameras you said you couldn't use "lite" can you use it with the panV3? Thanks

Wonder how it holds up to 12hrs of freezing rain. I understand it man not pan and tilt but will it harm it ? Anyone have any experience?

Will you be doing a 2023 home security system tour?

I hope pretty soon...

I just set my V3 Pan Cam up last night and though I love it, the viewing of event clips is different from my two stationary V3s. I could not find out how to get the Pan Cam to track until I read a Wyze help article that said to swipe left on the control bar under the image on the phone screen. There are more options that you cant see and no indication that there are more icons off to the right

Is a router required for operation or is it WIFI direct to your smartphone? Thank you.

Is it usable with the wyze socket? Great video and quick turn around BTW!

[@russelln114]

I was told no very disappointed.

[@fordified13]

@@russelln114 that is disappointing

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you. It will not work with the light socket due to needing a 2 amp power adapter.

Great idea, but the execution from WYZE leaves me wanting more. The audio is fixed, but this really needs to be ateast 2k quality (not 1080p) and they need to allow all features free like Eufy (minus cloud storage of course). I'm still leaning toward Eufy for my security cams. I do love your detailed reviews and came right here when I got the WYZE notification text.

@tonyvinci3702...Thanks for watching!

[@speedlever]

I’ve been tempted by Eufy too except for 2 things: no starlight sensor and security concerns reporting back to China.

Good review Please do a test on Sound Detection of these cameras and whether the Wyze Pan / Tilt scans the area when sound is detected?. Also comparison review of video quality pulls from SD card vs. app.

[@LifeHackster]

Not this one...

[@markferrell2470]

I find it funny that you use a screwdriver that is exactly like the one that comes with the ring doorbell camera

[@LifeHackster]

Because it is..I have dozens of them lol ;)

[@Palacemalicee]

Man I might have to replace my ring cameras with these cheap wyze. Ring is going in the wrong direction. These cameras look pretty decent especially for $35!
