18:24 Final Thoughts on the Wyze Cam v3
The #WyzeCamV3 includes several upgrades compared to V2. For example, it has color night vision as opposed to infrared, which creates a black and white picture. It also has outdoor capabilities with an IP rating of 65, meaning it’s dust-tight and can handle low-pressure water jets. Also with a Cam Plus subscription, we got person detection, and #Wyze says that detection for vehicles, packages, and pets is coming soon. Throw in some integrations with Alexa and IFTTT plus a mini-siren and this is one outdoor camera worth buying. Or is it? Watch our video review to find out!

    The “color night vision” *IS* the starlight sensor. If you’re seeing B&W, your IR emitters are on and you’re *NOT* using the starlight sensor function. FYI. 👍

    I use the V3 for my front porch area. I also have it set up in the window. I needed to turn off the status light and am unable to use the night vision because it all reflects back against the glass. Still, the clarity is fantastic. I do subscribe to PLUS. Feature I'd really like is to only be notified if a person is detected. Sadly, I must enable motion to get person detection working too. That means I am notified for all motions and motions with persons. That is way too many notifications. Thus, notifications are usually turned off. Also, if the pixelation is changed due to neighbor porch lights or car headlights then that gets recorded a motion too. This makes night notifications useless. Overall I like the camera and will continue using it but notifications will remain off.

    Finally got my pre order recently after getting lost in USPS Hell. AMAZING $20 Cam and LOADSSSS Better than the v2! Night Vision just kicks ass in this version, color night vision isnt "Bad", definitely works but meh, its ok.. Considering getting the spotlight for the hell of it, but we should be able to use our own USB LED lights :/

    Forgot to update lol.. I did end up getting the spotlight.. So firstly... For $10 the light is "OK", i have it located on the 2nd floor so the light is bright enough to light up the area with a dim "Moonlight" type of brightness, my DIY motion light does a better job at illumination though as it is around 1000 lumens whereas the spotlight is no more than 100 lumens on the High setting. Secondly.. the light comes with a micro USB splitter, so it goes from the USB cable to the camera and the spotlight. The good news is that you CAN use your own USB LED with the camera, the bad news is the spotlight has logic for Brightness and when to turn on/off so Using your own USB LED the light will always be on with no software way to turn it off.

    If you turn off the IR it can be pointed out a window with minimal window reflection issues, but as its Outdoor rated the best results would be to have it outside. And it doesnt HAVE to be by a door, you can put it anywhere the USB cable will reach.

Do you know how much utter crap comes from China, how much MONEY and resources that are waisted because a HUGE amount of what they produce is crap? They could even make the camera quality BETTER by increasing the price, cause it's actually fairly poor. So, unlike you, I actually want a quality product for the price. $15, they are cutting corners, not to mention the crap wages and likely working conditions they are paying those in China to make the product. See, unlike you, I don't just think of MYSELF.

    Stay away from the Wyze Cam v3 for now - they are having major connectivity issues. Some cameras are better than others, but in some lots, 50% of the cameras lose connection through a single wall. Which is sad - the night vision on these is truly unbelievable. And when in the same room as the WiFi router/access point, it connects much quicker than the v2 - just don't move them any further away! I would STRONGLY suggest waiting for v4 - or until they recall these and replace with working ones - I have a feeling they have an antenna problem during manufacture (the most common problem with embedded / IoT devices)

    I have not encountered this and i have 2 v3's. so as with everything results may vary. As far as WIFI connectivity goes, that will ALWAYS depend on the Router/WIFI Strength and anything between them not just whether or not the V3's themselves are at fault.

    There’s a Wyze Outdoor which has an internal battery. This is the v3, which can also be used outdoors but is a different model. Only the v3 has the starlight sensor for full color night mode, and the internal battery on the Wyze Outdoor isn’t removable or replaceable, making that a short-lived disposable product, imho. I returned my unopened Outdoor cams when the v3 was announced and couldn’t be happier I did.

    I take the time to warn everyone so you don't end up in the same situation as mine. Purchased 6 cams at end of April after reading raved reviews and watching positive videos.... We are now in August and I have 4 cams showing the "Red LED Of Death" (no flashing, factory reset can help this). Those cams are bricked just by simply using them (no power outage or poking around to try to do something fancy or flashing or anything... Simple most basic usage... Filming.)... To make matters worst since I am Canadian Wyze won't honor their warranty. Come to your own conclusion. Personally those 6 cams were my first and last Wyze purchases. Definitely not going to buy anything from that company. 4 cams out 6 is not just a fluke. This is serious Quality Check issues. You have been warned.
