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

[@albertvela8712]

Ordered 2 v3 last month and still waiting. I’ll probably still use my outdoor and v2 in different areas sound my home. Thanks. For the videos. Happy Holidays

[@LifeHackster]

Happy Holidays to you too...

[@lilithslair]

Thank you! I was about to spend $80 on the outdoor one but for that amount I can get two V3, they're $35 where I live. Love your reviews!

[@bobcongleton9220]

Good review, I have both cameras and I agree with your findings... The V-3 is far better in several ways and lower coat...

[@luyzqint3760]

Because of your review, I ordered the Wyze 3 cam. And, yes, I used your link.✌️

[@LifeHackster]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@FarhanAhmed-bl2wt]

I hope you get to review the new Wyze security system with door and motion sensors including door keypad

[@boudertwin]

I use the Wyze outdoor camera in a storage unit with no power and it works great. I don’t need a great image in a small space. I’m still glad there is a battery option. I have 2 v3s on the way for areas with power. I hope a updated pan cam version comes out.

Whats wrong with the pan cam ?

[@boudertwin]

@@08HR350z I hope the pan cam gets the same v3 camera because it better quality and works in low light. I think a batter powers pan can would drain the battery quickly.

Good comparison video. Provides a lot of info on both. For me the one determining factor is that I am not able to run network cabling to the outside of my house.

[@brucesatow]

Can you use a solar panel to charge the outdoor Wyze and spotlight? I have no electrical power where I want to put the cameras.

[@LifeHackster]

Wyze doesn't recommend it because of no weatherproofing...but I'm pretty sure it will charge with micro-usb solar panels.

[@ryansimmons4342]

Glad I came across this video becus I was gonna buy a few out door. Although I need 1 wireless but was going to get 3 additional cams just becus. I have v1-v3 and like them all in their own respect. Appreciate all your hard work

[@payco1000]

Thank you saved me a lot of headaches. V3 for me .. ✌️

[@LifeHackster]

You're welcome!

[@vinhennessy3885]

I like you comparisons of the Wyze Cam v3 versus the Wyze Cam Outdoor. The Wyze Cam Outdoor does not meet my present needs due to it’s limitatations I would to a some kind of mesh connection with the Wyze Base Station.

[@turnpyke3810]

Thank you so much much for making this video, I’ve learned a lot of interesting things about the Wyze cam.

[@macster1457]

it doesn't make sense that the notifications are significantly faster on non-subscription plans.

[@danielthan44]

It’s because of the AI, has to process footage to see if there’s a person

[@LifeHackster]

As what Daniel Than said... AI needs more time to process..but Wyze is looking on improving this.

[@JaysonHill]

Great review! I am looking forward to a future update of the outdoor cam. Hopefully it will gain the same features as the v3.

[@vandraiss]

Thanks for the reviews. You have been very helpful.

[@LifeHackster]

Thank You.

[@matthewpatton9088]

Audio is terrible for both. Guess you can't expect everything for the price point they are going at.

[@ch0lito]

Exactly! GOD 1st people who gets it!! You want quality 100%? You have to pay for it!!! Why look for as cheap option when you know that more than the 60-80% of the times the cheap option means cheap quality products!

[@danglecier9462]

What do you think is better, the ring stick up cam plug in. or the new wyze cam v3? I currently have ring but was thinking about getting a wyze v3.

[@LifeHackster]

I might need to compare these 2.. I'll probably go with the Wyze V3 just for the price.

Can I use Wyze V3 without connecting it to Wifi. Just as a video recorder for when I am not at home (via sd card)?

[@la196]

What is the maximum distance from the wifi router in the house will the V3 function? Would like to place in a barn to observe the horses.? Probably about 200 ft?

[@Sickdove]

Have you ever tested these cams with a solar panel? Like the "Wasserstein Solar Panel"?

[@luyzqint3760]

My experience with Wyze 3 cam: Night color vision is great! (But you have to turn off night vision*). I was very disappointed on the detection area, done with a square or rectangle box, which it is worthless when you have plants or trees moving. Wyze should use smug areas like the one use with Warden cam app.

[@rewanselah3930]

i saw that wyze cam outdoor also can be connected to Wifi also ? is it right sir ?? I saw a video on youtube someone did that. in wyze app settings

[@ScottWallace5]

Great review! I was thinking about getting the Outdoor Cam, but waiting until Wyze adds the V3 features to it so it's more comparable (like the Starlight sensor)

[@joepapa4108]

I have have wyze 1st generation and I'm thinking of upgrading but u think wyze is coming out with a newer model?

Awesome vids, looking for a few indoor cams and a cam in backyard (have 80lb German Shepherd in backyard). Currently have 3 ring stick-up cams in front of my house and ring doorbell pro. What would u recommend?

[@oneluvfilms]

Don’t see the link for using a battery pack with any of the cameras

[@radioraffa]

Was the camera close to anything running like a central air unit? The Mic seemed to be picking up something in the background like a hum with some wind too. Oh one other Question: Are you getting Full Screen Pop Up Ads when opening up the live feed? I have seen some people reporting this.

[@citizenofcyber]

Exactly what I needed to know, thanks so much!

This one was confusing. Motion alerts were first ~40 seconds with Cam Plus. Then they updated it, and it was ~4 seconds without a subscription. Then you left a note saying it was still 40 seconds? So did they just update their servers temporarily?

15-20 seconds with Cam Plus subscription on both cameras... V3 will have 4-5 seconds and the outdoor 40 seconds without the subscription.

Check your cool down settings and motion detection settings. If you have a lot of events being recorded your battery goes down faster. You can also setup a detection zone to reduce unwanted motion detection. That’s how I have mine setup and I get about 3 weeks of battery life. Hope that helps.

You have a lot of ambient light coming in from the side in these videos. I just tried a Wyze Floodlight which has V3 camera. The night vision is not good! Facial features are completely over exposed with color, with night mode, with the flood on, or off. It seems these cams work well in *LOW* light. But no light or night use with a spotlight has a lot of development needed

[@nopuedeserreal1669]

I agree, the V3 indoor/outdoor is much better than the battery wyze outdoor camera. I'm gonna return the second one.

[@petesilvestri]

I have the wise cam outdoor and it works as advertised and serves my purposes. Excellent overall and even better with a cam plus subscription. I can’t use a wired cam, so the outdoor cam is a no brainer for the price and features.

[@sccarolinagirl6284]

Can you leave them plugged in all the time?

[@markgierhart1864]

I picked up 5 of the v3’s and have been using them for 3 weeks now. The starlight sensor is a major improvement. One thing though I need to get is longer cables. Do you have any recommendations? I see a lot of them on Amazon but I’m sure there are some that are junk out there.

@@alexl932 These are version 3’s which are plugged in and have sd cards in each of them so they record continuously like the indoor version 2’s. I think the one your referring to is the Wyze outdoor which runs on a battery which I have on my front door. That one has a cool down period which I think is completely useless. One day it detected my flag blowing in the wind and recorded that but went into cool down and missed a package being delivered. The cool down can be adjusted to either 1, 3 or 5 minutes and I had mine set to 1 minute and still missed the motion.

They have motion for free but everything is motion it cannot detect difference between people and things. Also the V2 we have outside doe not detect people on the driveway and the front door. I have talked to Wyze and they say they are sorry and if you want to fix your system or upgrade you have to sign up for a membership. The email they sent went into junk or one of those files because they sent alot of emails and my account just automatically took it as junk or advertisements. Also I don’t have the option for notifications anymore.
