I have a lot of Wyze products and they are all great except the Wyze scale which constantly tells me my weight is really high, especially after the holidays. 😂
I just installed this camera. You said it only shows fisheye view. You have the option on the app to change it to regular view.
Love the get off my porch announcement 🤣
This video was WONDERFUL!!!!! Thank you very much I could not find anything about charging the battery. THANK YOU
Not bad Lon thanks for your hard work on this review.

It looks like crap compared to the other one
Great video, Lon. I have several Wyze devices and am considering the Doorbell Pro, Since my current doorbell is a 2-wired setup with a transformer, would my wired chimes work along with the Wyze chime? Thanks!
Great presentation!👍
Any reason to get the old version over this? Is this an actual upgrade or a battery-powered "concession"?
How do i get the EVENTS for the doorbell on the wyze app?? I have 4 WyzeV3 cams and can see all events for those but not for the doorbell pro. Help!!
So in reality with a lot of foot traffic how long does the battery keeps going for 6months is in theory
Life happens and internet get intermittent. If I have no internet, will the basic doorbell bit still work within the home? i.e., will it still ring if someone hits the button?
Can you turn of the flashing ring when it detects motion?
I prefer the aspect ratio of their original doorbell. No peephole and fisheye effect with the original. You do only get a vertical oriented format (3:4) with the original, but for a long narrow porch this probably works best for many anyway. And since I hardwire mine, I don't need the battery. And since this too doesn't work with an existing chime, there is no reason to upgrade (in my case downgrade since it will make my video view even worse.)
is there any lag with 2-way talk? blink 2 way is basically worthless... is this alot better for 2 way?
With the integration with Smart Home Assistance (Primarily Google Assistant) will it activate the camera feed on Google Home or just alert you to door bell ring?

No right now it doesn't work with those devices.
Lon, Nice job. You mentioned that you would see a pic on your watch. Will it work with a Samsung Smart Watch?
Thanks for the video Lon. Can you tell me if this Wyze does RSTP? I have another Wyze and I can use my BI with it. I would like to add it to my BI (Blue Iris) setup also.

@@W5MHG I don’t know of any - mostly because the battery would drain too quickly for it to be useful
I cannot get my doorbell to connect to my Bluetooth on my phone any suggestions?
Just got my Wyze doorbell pro it 💯
So what keeps a person from stealing it off your front porch if it just attaches to a piece of plastic
For sure it a smart unit... because it can connect to your WALLET with a tricke subcription.
Nice review, very complete. However the only thing attractive is the low price, but the rest is not so. I have Ring 2 and now Eufy doorbell. Comparing the Eufy to the Ring, the Eufy is hands down far superior in it's sensitivity and video quality. Ring often is very slow to pop up on the Iphone even with my 1GB fiber internet and UDM router. The Eufy doorbell is a great additon and NO FEES, and it records better on your Home Base unit as if on the Cloud, but again Free. I also have the Eufy cameras (wi-fi) and they are even better. I get chime alerts and audio thru Alexa. I can't find any videos you've done on the Eufy products...
I seen like videos of it and it looked horrible. It's now round the video footage is round the non-pro was 4x3 you could see way more than that thing does
Our wyze doorbell pro does color at night just turn the night vision off
That 5 minute cool down is a deal breaker. Forces you to buy the AI package.

it sucks , My house is wired up with wyze products but this one does not have local sd card storage . sad
Fish eye view and distorted? Weird...
Why would anyone want to pay a subscription for a doorbell? That's where I draw the line. I just got the new Amcrest AD410, I just need to install it. No subscription, and supports RTSP. Lon you should get one and do a review
I am a gadget freak but how has society come to the point where doorbells are relevant items? Half of the world has no food or water and we need an electronic doorbell 🤔
