Wyze Cam v2 Review - Chinese Spy or Amazing Inexpensive Camera?

In this Wyze Cam v2 review, we go over the build quality, features and any hidden catches to this very inexpensive security camera. It's natural to be skeptical of the Wyze Cam since other 1080p cameras can be 4x the cost.

On their website, the Wyze Cam seems cheaper than Amazon but it's not including shipping. So with shipping, they are the same price.

I live in Tennessee. My mother is 87 years old and lives alone in Minnesoata. I put WYZE cams in her hose to keep an eye on her. They do the job perfectly!

[@skippy3029]

I bought 3 of these and I am setting them up this weekend. My Wife and I are headed out of the country and we want to make sure the Nanny understands that we are watching, no shenanigans and the kids need to behave as well. I almost bought cameras (not as good as these) for 200 a camera. Then I heard about Wyze from my Brother. He uses them in his house and he loves them!

I have installed five in my home and I love them. They are a great investment. The average cost for a home in Ontario last month was $559'000 dollars so $25 to $35 U.S. per camera to monitor your investment while you are at work or on a trip is a fantastic deal.

This will enable me to use it at an upcoming huge family reunion of 200 people and share the link with a person several states that can't make it due to a major illness. No WiFi at the park. The key will be how good the cell reception is in the park. This will be awesome.

[@SmartHomeSolver]

+Larry Witt that sounds like a great use for it. We also did a review on the Wyze Cam Pan kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppuUXnSfq89gkNk but one thing I breifly show at the very end kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppuUXnSfq89gkNkm40s is that you can actually connect the camera to a portable power charger which would be useful if there isn't an outlet at the park for your reunion.

[@Iain0101]

The Wyze Cam is perfect for my use case. I'm helping my inlaws fix up a house they're planning to rent out that stays empty most of the time while work gets done on weekends. I planned to install a Ring Doorbell (which I'm using on my own home) to keep an eye on the entranceway. However, the Ring has a $30/year fee plus the ~$200 cost of the unit and it needs installation, it will only push video to the cloud (no local storage), and I won't need it once it has a tenant. The Wyze Cam will record events to an SD card, no wiring besides power, sends motion alerts, and is cheap! I can set up one facing out the front window and another facing out the back when the place is empty.

I have one mounted in a fake bird house aimed at our front door. It has survived several rainstorms (w/lightening). No problems encountered, except for the Blue Jay! A second one is mounted under the eve facing down on our cars. Again, no problems. Even though these are not outdoor cameras, they are working for me...and mostly protected from direct sunshine or rain. A third one is in my garage watching my CNC work while I sit in the office away from the noise.

[@sarkerm2]

The idea behind spying through this is they can access your wifi activity and traffic to track what you're doing on all connected devices. I'm still researching

[@sarkerm2]

@NarrowPath not really and I haven't found any solid claim where this security issue was true. I actually did ended up buying 2 for outdoor uses. For indoors if I get a cam it would be to monitor only when I'm not home. Privacy concerns in these use cases don't bother me.

Love the idea with a "fridge guard"! My WyzeCams are used to monitor pets and access to house. works well. But before I actually purchased myself, I was guiding a friend in California, who's horse was about to have a foal. She wanted "monitoring", but the stable would not allow her access to the WiFi on premises (sort of crazy, but that's another story). In order to create a work around, I recommended creating a LTE supported local WiFi using a "MiFi puck", but as she had an an older LTE iPad laying around, we settled on using that one connected to her VZW account. And voila, it worked! Pretty great - even though the LTE coverage is crappy. Can take a few tries to connect to camera, but that seems only to be initially, and the device has been up and running now for over 4 weeks. It is not always "live" but video comes in bursts of 2-5 seconds. Considering the need/objective and the amazingly low cost, combined with no access to local WiFi, this ended up being a great solution. Foaling went well, and today we can both watch and listen to the horses from far away (I am out of state). Even though video can come in bursts, audio feed is "live", unbuffered, and does not suffer at all from the poor LTE service in the area.

[@ELEVOPR]

I have 3 Ring Cameras. 1. Ring Doorbell Pro 2. Ring Spot light Solar Cam 3. Ring Flood Cam Honestly, Wize Connects Faster with less effort and Voice sounds clearly then the gobbly Ring Cameras. No Wonder Ring is So Rich, they have been ripping us off for quite sometime. I'll be buying a few more of these Wyze Cameras and setting them up all around the house. Just wish they bought a lens cover for privacy, I won't be trusting the Stop recording feature of the app. So I will be building a lens cover for them.

He said the price is $20-$25. That's true. On Amazon, sometimes wyze product become "out of stock, need back order" and price of wyze cam drops. I payed $26 when I bought my first wyze cam. It arrived at my house in only 2days. Last month, I purchased 3 additional wyze cams for $19 each, (Yes I was lucky) those took 10 days for delivery.

Maybe it has changed since you posted this video, but at 2:28 you say if you use continuous recording you cant see event recordings.

So you can have both, I would like to see this setup a little better, maybe more like how the nest app does it for nest cameras.

From a review on the Amazon website, it is on the page that you link to Amazon above: "The camera video quality is definitely good, but there is no privacy... Since there is no way to use the camera locally without their app and just using a regular app like "ip cam viewer" that simply uses RTSP, I ended up putting an SD card on it and disabling its internet access by assigning an IP that is restricted by my router...Well, to my surprise, the camera is CHINESE intelligent and decided to change its macaddress to a new one (completely different from the one in the back label) in order to gain a new IP from my router and regain internet access." Ok, if what you Wyze is saying it true, then why would a legitimate device change its own mac address? I don't care how you slice it that is really not a legit thing to do...

Last year we were burglarized by a homeless man we allowed to stay in a trailer on my property. We lost thousands. Also, stray dogs attacked and killed 14 of my pet ducks in two attacks. One duck, 12-year-old "Ricky" was the only survivor of the first attack and totally lost use of one leg, was bitten on the back through to the spine and had a bad infection. After vet care and carrying him to his pool daily for his physical therapy, he regained use of his leg and miraculously survived! He only had a few months to live a normal life again. Night before last he was viciously attacked again by two dogs. He and his two friends were killed. All had broken necks and one was literally folded in half. Ricky had been doing so well with vet care and his physical therapy. He was truly special. It will forever haunt me that he had to go through this horrendous experence twice in his life!. I want to find the two dogs that did both of these attacks and that is my primary reason for needing a dependable cam. Two others have not worked, one with an internal battery that failed and one overheated and didn't work in the dark even though it had infrared. Thanks for the video.

Ok, what about WyzeTao information.... Our camera uses HTTPS secured channel when communicating to the cloud and the mobile client. It uses AES 128-bit encryption mechanism for audio/video data transportation. Even if data is intercepted, hackers won't be able to view due to AES encryption. ThroughTek is the streaming solution provider for WyzeCam. It creates a channel to connect the phone/tablet and the camera. The cameras connect to their servers contently. When a phone tries to connect, it talks to the ThroughTek servers to connect. ThroughTek have servers located in different countries. That was why this thread was created. We did know ThroughTek servers are in between although we do not have a list of IPs for their servers (they are dynamic). After this thread was opened, we asked ThroughTek to confirm all the IP listed. They were confirmed to be ThroughTek servers. As I mentioned, we are in discussion with them to limit all WyzeCam traffic to North America. We have not reached a conclusion yet. Talking between two companies (especially with time difference) takes time. We will update once a conclusion is made. Thanks! ????????
