WYZE Cam v4, 2.5K QHD WiFi Indoor/Outdoor Smart Home Security Camera, Pet/Baby Monitor, Motion Activated Spotlight/Siren, Color Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Works with Alexa & Google, Free Expert Help

I really like the Wyze Cam v4. It was easy to set up and started working right away. The picture is super clear, even at night. I was surprised by how well the color night vision works in the dark.The app is easy to use. I can check the camera from my phone, get alerts when it sees movement, and even talk through the camera. I also like that I can choose what areas to watch, so I don’t get too many alerts.It works both inside and outside, and it still works well even when it rains. For the price, this camera is awesome. I feel much safer with it, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a smart, simple security camera

The image you can see on the camera is of very good quality. You can hear everything clearly. Get unmatched security with Wyze Cam v4. Crystal-clear 2.5K QHD resolution, Enhanced Color Night Vision, and motion-activated spotlight keep your home safe day or night. Plus, 24/7 local recording, Wi-Fi 6 support, and compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant for ultimate convenience.

Have bought a number of these and really like the quality and ease of connection. Do not need a paid subscription to use, but if you do it is affordable and does add valuable features. Can share camera view with others. Night vision is excellent and day is great too. Easy to adjust with cell app from anywhere in the world. Can record locally to xd card, which can be viewed remotely. Like being able to share the camera with others. One of these is used to check on mother in law to make sure she has someone confirming she is doing ok watering her plants in the yard (shared with family and her so everyone can see her yard and as she does her gardening). Feel safer being able to confirm she is ok without having to run over there every day.Note, only short clips available online. If you want full playback also buy xd card.

This camera is straight up on point and I would have given it 5 stars if not for ONE FATAL FLAW. So lets go through the pros and consPROS:1. Easy Setup and connectivity2. Super sharp image3. great performance even outdoors4. compact design5. Micro SD card slotCONS:1. Useless with recovering a recorded video (let me explain)Remember that Micro SD card slot which is designed to record video. If you use the app to view the video it will play great. However, if you remove the SD card slot to download the video this is where the design falls apart.The video is broken into 1 minute intervals. Let;s say you manually recorded an event that was on your camera that lasted an hour and a half. Now you have to find the folder for the day in question....Then find the folder for the hour (in this case and hour and half... two folders) in question..... within this folder you will have 60 videos (60 seconds in length).....now you have to import it into a video editing software and stitch these 90 video segments together. so that you now have the video that you asked the software to manually record in the first place. That you should have the ability to download in its entirety. WYZE you got to do better than that. Other than that one aspect...great camera.

This camera is awesome, I upgrade my V2 cameras that I thought was so good, the V4 blew it out of the water with the ease of install, the night vision on it and I got an SD card and saves it all without cam+ I've been very happy with wyze cameras and would recommend them to anyone looking for easy cheap home security.

I've been using this camera for about two weeks, and I am a paid subscriber to the basic paid version.The first week, everything worked great.But since the start of the second week, the App has been flaky. For example, over the last three days, I go to bed with all events being recorded and correctly sorted by imaging A.I.Then after awaking and having breakfast (with cars and people going past my windows for about an hour), I take my coffee to my home office, open the App to see what events had been recorded since last evening--and there are no events of any kind.After trying this and that, it seems that after I get around to resetting the camera and resetting my subscription, that new events resume being added. But there are still no events showing for a ~12 hour overnight and early daylight period.Worse is attempting to view events through my PC's online browsers (Google Chrome and MS Edge).Again, the live view is fantastically good during both daylight and at night (despite the low outside lighting here), but trying to view events is a horror show.For come reason, I have to fight with the settings to get the website to display the current day's events. Even when I try to clear everything, the original calendar setting returns eventually (which is the date I first installed the camera to yesterday's date).When I try to set the online viewing website to the current day's date , the current date on the website's calendar appears surrounded by a faded blue circle instead of the solid blue I believe should be the color of a selected date, and as one might expect, no events are shown for the current date even though I had a few hours earlier viewed cars in my browser being tagged by the App as the cars go by.I've tried both browsers, I've tried closing and opening the browsers, but as with the App itself, I eventually get it to work, I believe after resetting the camera and my paid subscription and restarting everything. But once it starts working, the missing overnight events remain missing.And then when it works, it seems to only present the viewer using the website with events for the past two hours even though I set the event time parameter for the last 12 hours. Worst, when going through the thumbnails, the user reaches the last of that two hour's worth of thumbnails, and the thumbnails just start over again, apparently in an endless loop. The first few times I went through this, I didn't realize at first that I was seeing the same events a second time.Also, I could swear that after the App updates, it changes one or more of the settings I made.I've wasted hours fighting with this software and other nonsense.It's a shame. Although I've only been using the camera for a short while, so I cannot attest to its durability, the hardware has nonetheless impressed, as has the accuracy of the artificial intelligence used to identify the various activities (possibly 97% accurate when it comes to images, though somewhat less when it comes to sounds). But that is then ruined by the Apps unreliability.And yes, I do have an SSD card installed (Wyze brand card), and I have the App set to continually record everything the lens sees. But searching by time is nowhere near as convenient as searching and more time consuming than searching for an event (what time was it when I heard that noise outside, I think it woke me up about 3am).So far, the best value of the camera is live viewing. Should something really important have happened, hopefully in a worst-case scenario, claiming a ladder to remove the SSD card from the camera and then sticking it into my PC might be more convenient for finding a recording of a particular incident that the App failed to save as an event.UPDATE: my paid subscription continues to stop working once or twice a day. This most often occurs overnight. During such outages, my camera fails to record events of any kind. I have SSD cards in all cameras, which do seem to record everything, but scrolling through an SSD without events is tedious and worthless unless one is looking for a specific time.I have the App installed on a Samsung Android Tablet and on a Moto G phone. When my subscription fails to work, both my phone and Samsung tablet stop recording events (though while the the SSD card in the camera also fails to record those events, it nonetheless does record continuous 24/7 video).I have decided to buy another brand of cameras for outdoor surveillance.I will continue to keep and use the three wyze camera's I already installed because they are more work to remove than the refund is worth.As soon as I find a better camera brand, I will end my paid subscription to wyze and use them for nature watching and keeping an eye on my basement while recording 24/7 to SSD cards.One more thing: I am powering this camera using the Wyze outdoor light fixture adapter. It's possible the problem is being caused by the adapter because I have another Wyze camera, albeit of an earlier version, on my back deck that is powered by an electric outlet adapter, and this Wyze camera records events faithfully (In seven months, maybe once or twice I had to reset the camera or unplug and replug it into the electrical outlet).So the difference could be in the kind of adapter I'm using or it might be that the earlier Wyze version was more reliable than the newest version (V4) that I am using with the lamp socket adapter.
