And without the subscription for continuous cloud recording or a MicroSD card, it will record 12 second clips to the cloud for free, then the “cool down period” means it won’t record if triggered for 5 minutes (incentive to buy the subscription: but $15/camera for a full year of continuous (every second) cloud recording without “cool down” time or a MicroSD, sounds more than fair to me!

I had bought 2 of the Wyze Cam V2 from Amazon, but retuned them when I saw first videos on V3. Higher resolutions, higher frame rates (night went from 15FPS to 25FPS!) to color night vision, indoor/outdoor- it was obvious to switch from V2 to V3. I wonder if they can be used as car dash-cams?

I got an open box for $12. Pretty smoking deal. I'm using it to monitor a tight parking lot that has a few bad drivers. For my application it works really nice. I got a 128 GB SD card and on full HD it'll record about 9 days of 24/7 footage with audio. Speaking of audio, it's absolutely terrible. Even conversations near the cam are indiscernible. It sounds like an 8 kbps mp3. Just total trash. It'll get the sound of a collision though. That's all I need. It really shines in low light though. Great dynamic range. If you live in the city with a lot of light pollution you'll never need to go into infrared mode. If you need more advanced features or need to stream to a computer you'll need to subscribe to their services.

I agree about the audio. V2 is vastly better. I just bought a bunch of V3s, but, I'm considering getting OGs instead if the audio on the OG is like it was on the V2. The audio is unacceptably bad on the V3. I think it has some kind of defect or design flaw and they applied a software filter to eliminate the noise, which then made the sound way too low.

They shouldn't need an update to fix this as they've had 2 prior versions to get it right. And they really need to give us more than a 12 second record time and less than a 5 minute cool down period with the free service.
@sideswipe1261

I’m guessing they make more off subscriptions for unlimited continuous cloud recording than they do from hardware sales. They have to keep *some* features reserved for subscribers, and they’re pretty generous giving 12 seconds for free and so many options without the subscriptions (they could hold back and throttle way more than they do; imagine what Apple would or already does charge for far more restricted devices and service!) And remember, everybody, as of May 2021, the Apple App Store has been exposed of selling dirty, dirty apps they don’t even screen on the App Store (millions of *paid apps* Apple still takes 30% per-download of all profits). They swayed the majority of the market to join their brand of phones, watches, pads based on their *promise* to screen and thoroughly test, then approve ALL APP STORE APPS, to keep us safe from the Android Hooligans that they claimed didn’t scrutinize their offerings like Apple does. Now years after they’ve eaten heaven knows how much market share *because* of their “clean store” policy, we find out it’s several hundreds of thousands, if not millions or more spy/scam/exploitative/naughty evil apps far off from “Clean.” And they knew it. And lied. And still took 30% selling what they knew was likely malware all day long since the App Store opened. I vote MASSIVE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT against APPLE; demolish them. To be complacent just encourages them.

If someone steals the camera, are you able to view the playback? On my v2 you can only view the motion events and the playback. Too bad the motion event is also only 12secs. Is there a module where it can send the playback or continuous footage to just in case the camera gets stolen?
@LifeHackster

The 12 second motion event and subscribing to the Cam Plus will store your footages in the cloud and yes, you will be able to retrieve and view it even if your camera is stolen. The "playback" option is the recording from the micro SD card if you installed one and it will not be viewable if the camera gets stolen.

very good review. I ve got three more tips / questions for you. Since there is a time gap between motion and notification you might want to try just pass in front of camera and get away, not stay there and wait for notification while still in camera view. What if in such case there would be no notification at all? Second I would like to know if there is a way to start recording on internal memory or memory card without any wifi connection. Lets say I want to use it while camping or fishing where there is no internet. There seem to be no buttons on camera to control it. Or there might be a situation when wifi just dont work or there is power supply cut. I might be powering that camera with external battery for instance but wifi router would turn itself off without power. And finally third question is that how long can it record on its own memory or memory card? Is it hours or days?

Overall I’d say, if every split second counts, if you’re guarding the Mona Lisa or Crown Jewels, or a baby, this may not be what you want. But livestream in the app picks up within 4-5 seconds, 1 second audio delay. So for most uses, $20-25 for these is amazing! Can they be used as dash cams, or would the speed of motion make the video too blurry? I can’t think of why it would. I have an $11.00 wish dash-cam that does 1080p, looping to MicroSD and it doesn’t blur out. (Btw, the cam from Wish is also sold at/through Walmart under their “Onn” brand for $20, in store. Unsure if it can be setup for home surveillance use or how to if it’s possible).

Yes, the starlight sensor works excellent in camera through glass setup. You do need to turn off night vision to prevent IR glare. Please watch my V3 vs V2 comparison and I showed how to set it up. Thanks.

Another great review! I ordered 2 of the Cam 3s. I hope Wyze fixes the notification delay.

I am trying to decide between the wyze cam v3 and the eufycam 2c which is on sale for $179 now. Which would you recommend? I want to monitor my driveway which is only about feet from my house and my backporch area. Thanks.

Sound is still horrible and the bitrate is still too low. Night video is better so that’s a plus but most of the things that annoyed me with this still exists. I’d gladly pay more for higher resolution and higher bitrate with quality audio.

Good video quality for such an inexpensive solution. Not impressed by the Alexa/Google integration. Pretty slow.

These look pretty good and I’m sure I’ll order a few eventually, but the SLOW notifications (and their rather notorious customer service) make me not regret my switch from Wyze Outdoor (or these) to the Blink Outdoor cams. These are definitely way better than the disposable Wyze Outdoor cams.

Which blink camers did you got? I'm planning to change my wireless arlo essentials to a wire wyze cam v3 thw only thing that I don't like is the delay on the notifications which is the same as arlo.

I'm hanging on switching to Wyze until they fix all the delay on all their cam. I reached out and asked them about the battery version, they said they would fix it but no visible timeline like they gave you for the v3. Excellent review as always. Thank you sir

Also has anyone else been noticing their wyze cameras keep going offline and staying off for a while? Happens to all of mine randomly

I agree, if they fix the notification delay this camera would be an absolute steal at $20. Even so, I think I'm still going to buy the new version. Thank you for the great review!

I’m having difficulty with video playback fom the microSD card. My Wyze Cam v3 is set to continuously record and write to the card. I connected an off-brand 256 GB card which I previously formatted using the Wyze Cam’s on-board disk formatting utility. But at the moment, I can’t retrieve playback from the card over the app. It appears to still be writing to the card, seeing as the written portion of the disk is still growing, and so presumably I can retrieve the video if I connect the microSD card to a PC.

I was thinking about buying this but the reviews on Amazon are horrible. Many 1 star reviews saying it's GARBAGE 🗑. I must pass..also they raised the price to $30 + dollars!!

Hi! Can Wyze Cam V3 be hardwired, like floodlight? I have existing junction box outside where I want to install but not sure about hardwiring part considering V3 comes with an adapter.

Hello LifeHackster, I found ur chanel right now and ur reviews are awesome! 🙏I have an important question to you: I want to buy an indoor camera wich i can install in my parents flat. (They want it also, just that u know). My mom tells me often, that nearly every month or day something got stolen... . 2 years ago,I bought and setted up an indoor camera called: Nokia Withings home. Everything worked fine till last year. The App doesnt work now and nokia doesnt update it bcs the camera is already "old". I don't know what is happening in their house and i want to find it out bcs slowly it gets me on the nerves... . Now I want to buy an indoor camera. I want to place it on the ceiling in the corridor or anywhere else, where it is fixed. I want that they and me can see on the app what is happening and get an alert when sombody want to enter their house. What i want 100% as well is, that the camera can save the recordings in a cloud, so i (alone) can see it from my Laptop or mobile anytime. I want to find out what is happening in their flat. I can't take it anymore😓. The camera could cost up to 300€/$ but i want that it has all these features. Pls help me, i can't take it anymore😔 Stay healthy, Alex
