Here is the unboxing and setup video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2eZzsmtqZezfKw.html

*I have had the **Newest.Technology** system since they were initially released (over 2 years). I love the ease of use and they work well. Batteries last a long time too. I have added cameras as needed. I love the 2 way communication with this one.*

For the issue with trees or plants moving in the wind, you can use the Detection zone grid in detection settings to reduce false triggers.

Nice review. Now I think I will buy this one. I was getting so confused as to which to buy with all the cameras out there. I only want mine for my front window looking out to circle driveway. This will work. I’m not happy with my previous camera. Thank you for a great review.

I know I can use sense sensors to trigger Outdoor cam. Probably work with the v3.. how I got rid of reflection with light inside the house was closed the curtains.

Really good review

Thanks for the vid im putting in my order

Good investment. I bought some for my home and my girls place they work great no issues.

Nice review Taylor! Here's my issues with these Wyze Cams (I have multiple V2's) ... the audio sucks (I have a Kasa cam as well and its like night and day difference) and the latency or delay in notifications is way too long. I want to see "what" is happening "when" it's happening, not 19 to 20 seconds AFTER it has happened. (which has been my experience with my version 2's) Again my Kasa's notification lag time is 6 seconds on average. What's your experience been with the V3 with these two features? (if they fix that I'm all over this version!)

Can you recommend a solar panel that can be used with it

Have you seen Wyze's new window mount that essentially gets the lens right against the glass? It looks like it shields from the surrounding light.

Re: v2 vs V3 detection zones, it is my understanding that v2 allows you to have multiple detections zones whereas the v3 only allows for a single detection zone.

Great review Drew, sub'd. Have you tried to download a completed timelapse when you're off of the home network with the V3? This is my biggest complaint with the V2 and Pan.

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?

The 24/7 continuously recording with no sub is a plus. That’s all I want.. I don’t care about the motion stuff.

Can the v3 be hooked up via low voltage? I have pre-run wiring from a security system but would like to use these instead of paying the higher price from Guardian.

Can I use my tv with a firestick to monitor the V3 camera?

Has anyone noticed how fast it load 3v vs 2v even switching back and forth between Wyze cams

Hi will the mini sd card get you more then the 12 second footage without the 5 min cool down or do I need the 1 year subscription? Is it worth having a mini sad card and the subscription ?

For those not in the US If you already have an adequate USB power supply the voltage differences in the US should be irrelevant as it doesnt use a proprietary USB power supply. USB splitter cable are widely available and tend to be cheap for those that still want to daisy chain, though a better USB power supply may be needed for amps (Depending on what the v3 comes with)

I just set up my new v3; however, mine doesn’t have an option for “HD Max”-only up to “HD.” The v3 also has the latest firmware. Is there a setting I’m overlooking? I just installed a 32GB microSD card, and it formatted correctly. My WiFi is broadcast through an Orbi mesh system with two satellites. Thanks in advance for any insight!

I'm updating as they die out. My front yard cam died and it was Daisy chained from the front door cam. I plugged the new v3 yard cam into the old v2 door cam for now. I'll have to come up with something else when the v2 door cam dies and I lose that Daisy chain.

Great video 👍🏻. Question, when I have the SD card in and on continuous recording, can I easily see on play back when motion was recording rather than scanning and watching the entire videos? Thanks.

POE and RTSP firmware (if they really do get it out) would make me happy. I currently have 16 Wyze cams (mix of v2 and Pan) all flashed with RTSP firmware. The biggest problem of course is throughput which the POE would be able to solve. The happy part comes in because I was looking at other solutions for POE and RTSP that usually start at $1000+ for that many cameras. Have they given an actual time frame of when they might release the RTSP firmware for the V3?

No, actually night vision being off, means color vision (at daytime or night time) is on. So if night vision is off, then it will show as much light as it can, in color. If night vision is on, then it will switch to black and white and use true night vision with Infrared light. You'll need to use this if its pitch black.

Bought two in one month. They both froze. Impossible to restart red light on nothing to do. Returned them both.

I can't setup it because of network, my home 5 g but wyze need 2.4, so returned it

I see you can format 128gb in v3

I got 1 for free with a sub for a year from them. Haven't a clue when I'm getting it though. Smh so far the v2 has been ok for the money. 1 day I'll try the expensive stuff till then this works fine

So i am guessing that there is no RTSP FW for this cam , since i recently just discovered that even some v2's that were manufactured after a certain date will not work with the RTSP fork of the wyze FW that is one major drawback and the reason i will not be updating my current v2's until wyze adds RTSP to their main FW or at least comes up with another solution to view these on a PC , right now there is only 2 options ,use RTSP with an older v2 which is now very broken with Alexa integration or emulate Android with bluestacks to run the app

A typical consumer, not you, is going to go through a lot of trial and error and take a little time figuring things out. FACT: I called WYZE and they stated they have no manuals or reference listing as to how to go about things. Just look at forums page with account they setup for you and figure it out yourself. I would not encourage anyone to buy WYZE unless they have more expertise operating security cameras. REMEMBER: you talk with experience and comparisons but give it to a typical consumer and ask them to set it up to certain specs and features.

Is NOT a $20 camera. It costs more than $35 with tax.
