Title: Perfect solution for my Airbnb
Review: I bought this for my Airbnb outside on our deck and it works great. Great video quality & good battery life. Iâve seen the reviews on the battery life and I have to assume theyâre using settings that drain it. Iâve had no problems. I have it set to only record with motion events and the spotlight set to about 50% (also triggered by motion, I donât use sundown) and I only have to charge it about every 2 weeks with constant guests coming in and out triggering it. It does take several hours to charge so I just bought a 2nd one that I swap out and let the first charge while Iâm doing a turnover. Iâll also say that the only thing Iâm disappointed with is how long it takes to start up the live video feed, but I donât know if thatâs just my internet connection. Itâs super easy to mount- love that. All in all, very worth it and it looks so much better not being plugged in. I love that if I ever do want it plugged in, say to have continuous recording with an SD card, I have that option as well. I definitely recommend it- just play around with the settings if youâre having reduced battery life. AND BUY A 2nd BATTERY! Iâve got it mounted to the window frame in the picture.

Title: We have a winner!!
Review: I have been a WYZE cam customer for a long time. I will say that itâs been a hit/miss with some products by this company.. I hope my review will let you make a more informed choice..So I will keep my review unbiased and try to focus on specific qualities of this cam..First thing, this cam is wireless, it will need to be connected to the internet via WiFi and the WYZE appâ¦This camera comes with a battery that can be charged while inside the camera.. OR you can plug a USB-C cord right into the pack- and it does come with a power cord. This allows you to have a little more flexibility on how to re-charge the battery.I have not had any issues with power with my outside cam due to having my camera receiving power from the Wyze Solar Panel ..the cam fully charged in less than a day and has not been under full power since.My second battery cam that was charged via usb-c, I performed a settings adjusted via WYZE app to reduce the power consumption due to the light on this camera being VERY BRIGHT. That seems the have did the trick- cam has been holding charge for 2 1/2 months and can probably go several more since it is now around 50% battery life.The quality of image from this camera is highly detailed and will definitely capture someone in the middle of darkness, due to the highly sensitive sensors that will trigger the light/recording. Camera can also identify what it is, and will send alerts directly to your device letting you know what triggered the cam.Features I use included with the WYZE cam app are the alerts, and the app offers a paid version of cloud storage to gold up to 2 weeks of event video clips. The free version gives users up to 2 weeks of saved images, but will still allow you to access recorded content as long as you have a memory card installed on the camera. I, personally- like to just record my own clips which the app also allows me to save and share.The barrier/zone selection gives users a way to select an area that will trigger the camera- this comes in handy if cam faces out towards a street with high movement/traffic.This also cam lets you talk to whoever is on the other end of the shot, which makes it easy to communicate with someone knocking at the door. Sound quality is clear and very loud- no static with a great internet connection, in my experience.I enjoy using this camera as a way to monitor deliveries and visitors to my home. The bright flood light also makes it much easier to see while trying to unlock my door at night. I keep a second one in the backward, currently unmounted due to not having decided if I will be getting a second wyze solar panel, yet..The mounting equipment the cam has included was perfect.. I had actually purchase a different set of mounts that I ended up not needing .. the ones that come with the camera are great quality and easily installed.A pro AND con is that the camera is not able to pan, so the direction it faces when installed will be the only direction it will face until you move it.If you want a cam that pans/moves while you are away, this will not work for you..If you are looking for a cam that has a large coverage area and will stay put, this cam will work for you!!For the price, the quality and features of this cam throws the competition out of the water, I recommend this WYZE cam to everyone. I will definitely be buying more here soon.Hope my review helps, happy shopping.

Title: No Live Stream, always Offline, wonât record video
Review: Update next day: I brought the camera into the house overnight, brought the wifi extender closer inside the garage and this morning it seems to be working better and even charging slowly with the solar panel (panel is only 2w so it will take time). Most movement is getting caught by video, thereâs only 2 bars even with wifi extender 15 feet away so I have ordered a wifi mesh system to improve the signal. Letâs hope it continues to improve. Still not happy with lack of response from customer support.I have V2 and V3 cameras (been happy except app issues) and thought this a logical purchase to replace my old outdoor Arlo cameras. First, it has trouble getting a wifi signal, it shows 1 bar when outside (Arlo and iPhone in same position is fine with full bars), shows being offline or not connected in the app. Even in the room next to the modem with full bars it will not connect. I cannot live stream keep getting error messages, cannot replay videos when they actually get recorded, the error message is âfailed to fetch from iCloudâ, will not record video everytime sometimes only a photo when it does detect movement, issues with solar panel not charging but battery on its own will charge so possibly theyâre not compatible. Tried reaching out to customer service and keep getting directed to the the chat bot where this camera isnât even listed for support, thereâs a message that Wyze is dealing with âmany issuesâ right now, must be this camera because the forum comments repeats all the same issues plus more. You cannot reach a real person, all messages say to submit a log, this is not support. When I do get an email reply from customer service they only regurgitate the same information found online. It was exciting when this company first launched the first camera but quality and customer service seems to have declined dramatically, very disappointing to say the least. If firmware is not updated soon this camera and solar panel will be returned.

Title:
Review: The fully charged battery only lasted 5 days. Testing it in my living room before using it outdoors. I turned down the spotlight to 25%, as it was too bright. Now recharging the battery again. If it only lasts 5 days again and not the projected "up to 6 months" - and it's indoors (warm temperatures), not sure if I'll keep it. I was planning to use it outdoors where I expected the cold temperatures to run the battery down quicker. But indoors and only lasting 5 days is not good. All other features seem to match my other Wyze cams - good picture quality, image detection, etc.2) The front black section of the camera scratches very easily. Just getting it set up - normal handling of the camera, and the black section is scratched up. Maybe I'll post a picture later.
Customers say
Customers like the ease of installation of the security camera. They mention it's easy to use and the app is super easy to use. However, some customers have reported issues with connectivity, recording capability, and motion detection. Opinions are mixed on the picture quality, battery life, functionality, and value for money.
