Just saw your video! Great info, thanks. The reason why recording is NOT turned on by default is because, anyone non-tech savvy exploring the camera accidentally records themselves or their family members when improperly dressed could lead to privacy issue. To avoid the hassle of dealing all lawsuits, Wyze’s policy is explicitly asking user to initiate recording after they are conscious of their surroundings. This is my understanding :)

I know this isn't what you are reviewing here but I'm looking at the Wyze Cam Outdoor v2 for my parents, as my dad wants a wireless/battery-powered camera with recording & notifications and Wyze seems to be the cheapest option of the well-known/well-reviewed security camera companies. I'm really only familiar with Ring but I don't think he wants to pay the higher prices to buy the Ring prices. So, I am leaning towards Wyze to save him some money.

Ive been using the pan camera. So when its running neutral theres a blue light. But when someone is watching the video theres a red light that turns on. My red light kept turning on. Someone was watching us remotely. I started to do my research and alot of people have this problem. Its a very easily hacked camera. Other than that its good cam. Just be mindful someone will be watching you.

I don’t even need to watch the video. I have five Wyze pan cams in my house. And I can tell you that they are not worth the money simply based on the absolute nightmare of Customer Service, whether or not you have a subscription, half the time the video doesn’t upload to the cloud and all you get is a snapshot so you can’t tell what actually happened; the sound quality is absolute garbage. Someone could be standing right next to the camera discussing how they were going to murder you, but it sounds like somebody is standing next to Niagara Falls discussing your murder instead. I have subscription for the cam plus on every camera but every time they do some kind of upgrade it causes my cameras to crap out. I have one that reboots randomly and repeatedly for no reason and they can’t tell me why. Christmas before last, we had one aimed at our front porch That decided to stop recording entirely. Why was this a big deal? Because someone stole my son‘s brand new runner sled that his grandmother got him for Christmas cost about $200. We have no way to prove that it was stolen because the camera didn’t record anything. Just stopped. And there’s never any indication when the cameras have stopped recording. They look normal. If you go into the app to view from the camera, everything looks normal. The only way you notice that it’s not recording is if you look under the events. But typically, you don’t look at the events unless you’re actually looking for something. So this particular camera had not recorded anything for over a week and we didn’t discover it until after the sled was stolen. And here’s where the crap of Customer service comes in. You cannot, CAN NOT speak to a manager. The only way you can communicate with the manager is through email. That’s what they told me. I was on the phone for hours with the regular customer service people trying to get some kind of resolution to the fact that their “security,“ camera did not provide any security nor do we have any recourse with the police or insurance companies because we have no footage of the theft. All in all, sled is gone, no compensation, no apology; and I already have so much invested in the cameras that I can’t afford to buy other ones. If you want a good camera, go get an Arlo. My only criticism of the Arlo that I had before was that they don’t pan. That is 75% of the reason why I went with a Wyze cams because they panned. They were less expensive than other panning cameras and so I got them. At first, everything seemed fine until the continuous, never ending problems started and you can’t get any help from Customer Service. They constantly try to blame it on your own Internet or some other factor that divert the fault away from themselves and they don’t do anything. Their standard answer is to set the camera back to factory and start over and reboot your Internet. That’s their solve all for everything. No, I cannot say enough bad crap about the Wyze cam‘s. Other people may have had wonderful experiences, and if I had only had problems with one camera or maybe two it would be different. This is all the cameras with all the subscriptions all the time. Constantly having to power cycle them to make sure that they’re always recording.

Cams shows activity but when I try to watch them I get "Operation failed" error! tried to get support from Wyze so called wizards but all they do cut & paste! So forget about this company!

Person detection is worthless! I have 3 of these things. I got a free trial of Cam Plus, and I'm glad I did because it's useless! If I walk out to my car, it doesn't pick me up at all. The video only shows my car pulling out. So if someone was stealing my car, all I would have is a nice video of my car pulling out. Not the person that stole it. It will detect people, but the lag time it takes to do it, makes it worthless. If I walk out to my car as I normally would, and get in, it doesn't detect me at all. Just the car leaving.
