If you are looking for a similar wireless option, they do have the Outdoor Cam. amzn.to/3qJQ9AF this is for the kit which has one battery powered cam and the base station. I have one and installed one at work. I will probably do a review on it now that it has stabilized (it was really buggy at first). As long as you keep the base station and camera close together, it works pretty well. I have an old Ring Stickup cam solar panel on it and it works as good as my other outdoor cameras now.

I'd love to hear back when you test a 'battery' version. I live on 60 acres with a 1/2 mile long driveway. I do have a ring doorbell and do pay the $3 month extra, but at least that runs off battery. I'd order one today if there was a version that didn't require a power source. I'd like to put one of these in a part of my driveway which is not accessible to power. Can I log into this with my phone from a remote location? I may order one to connect to my garage that would give me a better view of the yard. and I would most likely pay the monthly svc fee. (less than ring). I'll be looking forward to your test trials on a battery version.

I have been using the Wyze Outdoor Camera for over a year now. At the beginning, it was buggy (terrible life). But now I have a solar panel on it and it works pretty flawlessly (it is really close to the base station). It should work well for that, especially if you can have the base station close to where you are installing the outdoor camera (like inside, in a room). Yes, you can access it via your home's wifi. The outdoor camera connects to its base station, which connects to your house wifi (or ethernet). I am planning a video (in partnership with Wyze) to replace my Ring cameras (one of which is solar-powered) with the Ourdoor Cams. Stay tuned!

I read through several comments, but not all, so if my questions may be repeats. 1. I have an older security cam setup that uses "siamese" cables, basically one power cable(5v, I think) and an RCA connection for the video feed. Does someone make an adapter to plug from the power part of the siamese cable to the power connection that this camera has? That would be a big time saver to not have to re-run cables for power. 2. What is the SD car memory capacity limit? Seems most things these days only recognize up to a certain size card. And how much video can be stored on say an X size card, like a 4GB card holds X amount of minutes. 3. How is the video feed orientation handled, is it handled with the app or inside the camera via some kind of switch? Like if you want to hang the camera upside down from a soffit and of course you want the video to be right side up? Thanks in advance. Great video.

Hi @Alan. Thanks for the questions. 1. You are looking for a DC barrel jack to Micro USB converter. Something like this might work: amzn.to/3qfCUYa. Make sure to check the diameter of your barrel jack. 2. Viewers have reported that up to 256 GB works. The official word from Wyze is 32GB, but others have had success at much larger capacities. It looks like most people say you get 2-3 days worth of video (recording 24/7) at HD resolution on a 32GB card. 3. It is handled in the app. There is an option to flip the video 180 degrees in the advanced settings (I think).

I really like the video quality that Wyze has, but their app isn't much to brag about. Unless you pay for their cloud service, you can only view 1 camera at a time. I also have Yi cameras. The Yi app is much better. You can view every Yi camera that you have, up to 9 I think, at the same time without paying for a service. The Spotlight and siren on the Wyze are fantastic. My front porch and driveway are covered by two Wyze outdoor cameras. To view them on my pc, I had to download an emulator, which doesn't let you use all the options available in the app. The app is best used on a smart phone, but I prefer a larger screen with multiple cameras displayed at the same time.

No, because they would get caught on the camera first before they got to the camera. Plus that was just a temporary installation location. I would recommend mounting it higher up and routing the cable internally via your attic.

It's unclear how it works with the SD,how do you view what's recording? You say u have to pull out the SD and put it in a PC to watch but some other people say u just need an app
@ThisSmartHouse
2 жыл бұрын
I guess I didn't explain that well. You can always remove the SD card to review the footage, but the easier way is in the app. I believe if you are connected to your home network (via wifi or VPN) and your phone can see the camera. Then you can watch the footage recorded via the app. I tested this on my camera that has 24/7 recording on it and it had footage for every minute of the day.

I have the 3 - V3 and one outdoor. They were good for the first month but after the updates the cameras go crazy. The settings change on their own every other week. The cooling off period after recording is terrible, even if you set it for 1 minute it takes 4 to 5. They update software every other week and its annoying! The outdoor camera sometimes drains the battery in 5 minutes after its fully charge. All the cameras have problems fetching almost every other week. Im done with this product I wish I can get money back. The worst thing is that I convinced my family and friends to buy this cameras.

I get a lot of updates on the v3, almost weekly. Haven't had any changes to my settings. Maybe flash RTSP firmware that will stop the updates. They just released the Cam Plus Lite, but I think the cool down is still there. I am concerned they are going to remove the free tier. But I rely on the local SD card recording.

It would work you would just need a 12v to 5v converter (a cell phone charger). Are you running off the battery or is it externally powered (alternator or generator). My main concern would be running the battery on the vehicle down.

Would this camera record to an sd card without me having internet? Could I just plug it in and have it record to sd or would I have to have home internet. I have android smart phone but no home internet. I would record continuously to sd card. Thanks.

I think it would record fine without internet but you would have to have internet to set it up (I assume). I haven't actually tried setting up a camera on a network without internet. But once it is set up it should record to the SD card if you have set up continuous recording.

Most consumer cameras cannot connect to 5 ghz. But every access point or router has an option of allowing you to set up a 2.4 gigahertz Network. You might need to look at splitting your network to have a 5 ghz and a 2.4 ghz networks. If you're struggling with this with the Wyze every camera will have this problem except for the very high-end ones.
