Wyze Cam V3 vs Blink Mini - Features, Video & Audio Quality Compared

[@chetnawoyski8841]

I’ve watched over a dozen reviews of both products and I can assure you that your review was without a doubt far superior to all the other reviewers. No one even came close to the amount of technical and visual examples that you gave. I already purchased the blink and after this review I’ve decided to return it and to purchase the Wyze camera instead. Thanks for a very neutral review, you presented the facts and you let the reader choose for themselves which was the best product. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

[@CNBarnes]

I have watch a ton of reviews - the job you did with this comparison was SPECTACULAR. Basically, your review is really the only one a person needs in order to make a choice about wireless cameras.

[@notreal5311]

Man, this video comparison is so great. I wish other reviews were half as detailed and in depth as yours. Keep it up!

[@dannymcneal]

Another great comparison video! And I loved your use of multi-cam comparisons...really made the distinction so much clearer for a guy like me with short-term memory issues. LOL The v3 kicked it here. However, the Blink sounded clearer to my ears, which should not be much of an issue during a nighttime robbery, unless a pair of robbers need to communicate with each other during the robbery. Thanks again!

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you.

[@databang]

Thanks for your thoroughness in reviewing the products and making my buying decision easier. Peace!

[@Stu2032]

The Night view benefits of the V3 is why I’m upgrading the V2 I have. I may need another for the lounge, replacing the PanCam, which can be moved elsewhere. I never use the Pan functions anyway.

[@joshuatoe2323]

I just started doing some research on decent but inexpensive cameras. Your review was very thorough and thought out. I going to be watch some of your other reviews just bcuz. Great work!!!!

[@billnj4923]

I liked the side by side comparison you did . I would like to see you review different brands especially outdoor security cameras wired and wifi. Thank you Bill.....great job

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks.

[@maggiemirenda7146]

Wow that was the most in depth , informative video I’ve ever watched! Thank you so much, going with Wyze

[@boojackson7133]

About time for me to add wyz to my setup..great review as usual

[@abcd124]

I mentioned in your previous post they look alike, actually wouldnt be able to tell which one was which unless you told me!

[@abcd124]

Also, the Blink indoor test has blue and red outlines like the Ring cams!

[@edwardgreenjr167]

Hard to see any other cam under $25 that matches the Wyze V3. I remember getting some cheap 1080p cams for the house only a few years ago just to tinker with. Now the quality for the same amount of money has improved tremendously.

[@dmo848]

Merkury from Walmart isn't bad at all very similar to these

[@johnn7726]

The blink mini cameras are on sale for about $12 each

[@rellmonger7935]

I just got 2 wyze cam v3 because of you to compare to my 4 blink cameras. So far it's pro & con. But I like them both.

[@gigimoore3738]

Your reviews are always so helpful. Will you please review the apps of security cameras? Why are there so many bad reviews in the app store? What permissions are required and where is the information being sent. Why do apps need our contact lists?...it's an invasion of privacy! People listed in my contact list didn't give their permission to give their info away...and vice versa. Since most seem to be based out of China, it's a serious privacy issue for me. It makes me hesitant to buy a camera. Thank you!

[@SBG_Arseny]

I bought the blink first then instantly wanted Wyze but I enjoy the blink for the price, no one should be upset by it. But definitely Wyze It’s wise to choose Wyze

[@mpryan6184]

I have two and am very happy about them. Please, You did not attribute the audio sources in this clip. Was it camera source? Thanks! Good job!

[@macster1457]

Wyze hands down.. there's no comparison.. however, the sound quality on the blink might be a tiny bit better... that's the only advantage it has over the Wyze.

[@AzogDefilerFromMordor]

Another advantage is that is ships worldwide not just to US. Not to mention Wyze should be shipped since November, then changed it to December and now they changed it to January. So.....maybe you can preorder and patiently wait forever.

[@paulmiyagishima7655]

Another well made video! Wyze seems more versatile, but the blink video quality seems warmer. Its really coming down to who can offer you more features. Thanks again!

[@papua5028]

The wyze camera price has almost doubled. Now their starting price is around $35.98 at Amazon's.

[@SpaceStrike]

Yep. They say its because of a chip shortage and other devices of theirs will also be more expensive

[@goody4293]

Thank you sir. Now I can decide which to buy

[@e11world]

I owned the blink and I think maybe mentioning things like modules and accessories would add a lot to this review but still very good video. Thanks. I think wyze sounds better overall

[@JeffdaRev]

Love your videos! Thanks so much for your channel!!

[@thomask4836]

I absolutely appreciate the time and effort that you put into your videos. You are incredibly analytical in your approach to sharing camera performance. Thank You so much for the time and effort that you put into your videos!

[@njmtbiker]

Which indoor cam would you recommend for placing in my aging mother’s house to keep an eye on her remotely. Would like for a cam to plug in so I don’t have to have her worry about changing batteries.

[@yibuseato]

I am doing the exact same thing. I like to be alerted at night so I can remind her to use her walker on way to bathroom. So I bought the Blink mini….few cons so far after week of use. Motion sensor is a bit delayed. Notification sound is VERY quiet so it doesn’t wake me up every time(defeating the purpose). Also sometimes it doesn’t connect and just says failed so I have to close out app and reopen. Otherwise great visual and audio, intuitive & easy to install. Can you share which camera you selected?

[@elliott6371]

@@yibuseato you could potentially automate it with IFTTT. Have it detect motion at a certain time, either with a Wyze/Blink camera or Wyze sense maybe, and then play a trigger/routine to say from an Alexa/Google device "Hey Mom, use your walker on the way to the bathroom". But if she moves in bed, it might trigger a lot of false alarms.

[@elliott6371]

we do this for my grandmother, a camera with pan and tilt, like the Wyze Cam PAN V1 or V2 works great.

[@kurtpadua1920]

i have both but Im pretty impressed with wyze cam v3. I had to put this camera on the window. the night vision is much better.

[@cynthiaroy3953]

Can the blink be used facing out a window ? What about night time window reflection? How do I get rid of this?

[@starrex5228]

Hello, is there a Wyze Ring security system integration e.g. trigger Ring alarm when Wyze cam detects motion or trigger Wyze to record when Ring alarm is triggered?

[@michelj.gaudet5048]

WOW! If we could only have the audio quality of the Blink in the Wyze...😕. I KNOW! I KNOW... “We talking VIDEO, Michel!!!” lol. But still, the Blink’s audio is SO much better, don’t y’all agree? Hey, Mr. Provider_ thank you SO much for what you do for your follows.✨🤗✨

[@Stealther]

Wyze audio is an embarrassment.

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you.

[@BlargnCheese]

So, in order for me to review my footage from the continuous 24/7 recording on the WyzeCam, I'd have to remove the SD card and hook it to my computer, correct? There's no way to download from the camera wirelessly, or am I mistaken?

[@LifeHackster]

No. Just click playback in the app and it will get you to the timeline where you can select play and record the footage to your phone.

[@lshupp4918]

I’m looking for an indoor camera for pet activity with the 360 camera that I can move from my phone. Any recommendations? Really like ur videos.

Hello question, the local recording of V3 with 32gb micro sd is good for about 3 days, after that is it automatically be deleted to store for the next 3 days?

[@susheelsonwani1]

I ordered two of the Wyze V3 in Oct last week. Haven't received it yet. The website shows they will be delivered in December or maybe in January. I'm wondering if they had enough budget to make cameras since they are releasing a new product every few weeks.

[@susheelsonwani1]

Update - Just got an email today that the item has been shipped.

[@alexrice2904]

I have both..I have a wyze 3 in my front window..I just got a blink mini for my back door..which one is better..I have no lights in the back

[@DanielHanson343]

I wish we could combine the Wyze video with the Blink audio , it would be perfect.

[@navidnasiri7501]

Thanks a lot about your introduction and comparison. But I have a question about Wyze Cam v3, I want to use this camera on my unmanned boat to see the area and record its vision when I need to. Is this camera can gives me this ability? Is it possible to start and stop recording with program? Is it API camera?

[@abbassberjaoui3129]

Love your reviews, can you test wyze lock???

[@ronm6585]

Thanks for the review. 👍

[@misterU100]

Nice and informative video. Came across your channel and am hooked. What is your take on one having different smart security cams setup. e.g for the front door you have the ring doorbell, for the indoor you have blink camera and for the outside you have wyze and maybe ring motion sensors? Is it viable to do such kind of a setup in terms of compatibility and scalability.

[@LifeHackster]

I think it is better to have at least 2 brands or setups so that 1 can act as a backup if the other one goes down or offline

[@cameraz99]

Great video! When recording in *24/7 mode* with the Wyze Cam V3, what happens when the microSD card is full? Do the recordings get overwritten (ie: Loop) or does the camera just stop recording?

[@camaroman101]

The video just loops. Not sure what the biggest size micro sd card is on the v3 though.

[@LifeHackster]

It loops record.

[@bzashadows]

The sd card will corrupt before it fills up due to wyze's poor coding. You will be reformatting your SD card about twice a month 😀

[@DaMediaGuyProductions]

I can't seem to get the two way audio to work on my Blink system. I press the talk button on my app and all sound is cut off. Is there a fix?

[@LifeHackster]

Try unplugging it and plugging it back in..and see if it fixes it..if not you might have a bad speaker on the camera.

[@DaMediaGuyProductions]

@@LifeHackster I tried to unplug you and plugging back in. That didn't seem to work. I have the outdoor in the mini cam and both of them do the same thing . When I hit the talk button on the app on my cell phone the sound cuts off completely. I talk and nobody can hear me on the other side.

I hook mines to my Google so on my phone or tv, I can say the name of the room and the camera pops up. So friggin cool. Jus takes like 5 seconds sometimes longer for it to come on though. It's not instant but it works 100 percent. So awesome let me tell u

[@KnP4Ever]

Thank You Well done Q Can you have 3 or more Wyze cameras set up at the same time to be viewed on an I phone? Thx man 👊

[@gran-roan]

In short: Blink - Better sound capture, more fluid video movement (at the cost of video quality), and 2-3 secs faster notification. Wyze - Everything else is superior (far better night/day quality and range, cloud, local storage, more sensors&options, way better and faster app, etc)

[@BigMu2003]

Will you be reviewing the Wyze security system when it becomes available? I got an email yesterday the pre orders start on December 8. The V3 is looking solid and making me wonder if a Wyze security system is viable after all.

I have to check it out.

[@alexn6595]

Which of these cameras are better for live streaming?

[@conbrod731]

There is a known issue with some blink mini cameras where they lock up overnight and fail to record or notify, apparently they fail to transition from night to day mode and stay locked up until you initiate a live view which causes them to work again. Have 2 and bought 2 for some and all 4 exhibit this fault but many seem happy so I assume it’s a problem with a small batch however that makes it a lottery. Community posts show problem has existed for year so no fix coming and support no help. Otherwise good camera just not for security.

[@garyadams5654]

You gave valuable info but I wish you closed by giving your overall evaluation.

[@arturosalgado2343]

Wyze is better. Blink cam is indoor. Wyze can has the option to chose if you want it outdoors or inside. Having that makes a better camera.

[@toddn.3123]

I don't know why you all commenting say the Blink audio quality is better. It is overly compressed and you are getting the high pitched low quality mp3 effect or the "T" and "s" sounds. If you can't hear that you got bad speakers or headphones.... or hearing issue in general. Yes the Wyze sounds muffled but that's because it is an outdoor camera as well. I take Wyze muffled over ear piercing compression noise from the Blink. Night vision is million times better with Wyze.

[@laelignacio939]

[@Dagger-Moose]

I just got wyze cam v3. Dunno why but my alerts, video quality and not missing the first five seconds of the alert video. My eufy system, three times the cost cannot compete with it and let me tell you the Wyze cams are shining THROUGH windows into the yard! Eufy is garbage. For me anyways.
