WYZECam OG Indoor/Outdoor 1080p Wi-Fi Smart Home Security Camera with Color Night Vision, Built-in Spotlight, Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, Compatible with Alexa & Google, White, Free Expert Setup

Wyze have great quality image and audio. Very easy to install, no subscription required. I have had 3 other cameras prior to this and no problem. Night vision is great, many ways for the users to customize settings.

I was leary about these cameras at first especially the night vision. I usually don't write a review unless its something that people need to know. These little cameras are great and the night vision is crystal clear. I didn't get a subscription and got a micro sd card and it works as good as a subscription would. I can click on my sd card in the app and I can see a full video in detail that is so clear. I absolutely love how clear the night vision is and how you can see it in color. I highly recommend these cameras. They aren't to big and not to small and i like the design as well. I will be buying 2 more. So far they seem to be pretty durable and as far as the battery im not sure because you plug it into an outlet so I guess its safe to say that it has great battery life. The instructions to set everything up was very simple so if anyone is looking for a good camera these are well worth the money and they aren't so expensive that they break the bank.

We purchased this camera to install in the main area of our home to keep an eye on an elderly parent while we are away. The wide angle lens makes it possible to see movement across the entire living room. The night vision is also perfect. It was super easy to install. It took me approximately 2 minutes. We feel much happier being able to launch the app from anywhere and make sure that everyone is doing fine. The microphone works well as long as you are holding your phone away from your face. The speaker works very well also. We really like this product.

This review isn't really about the camera, but the "optional" service provided by Wyze, Cam Plus. Honestly, there isn't much difference between this cam and similar cams on the market. The one I had before this might have arguably been better, but it was somewhat big for my needs so I got this one. Also, I wasn't happy with motion tracking for my pet. They Wyze OG camera construction and quality of the camera is good, however you need to use Cam Plus and/or a SD card to get any real benefit out of this cam. This is where my aggravation comes in.When I first got the camera, I setup motion tracking. Now, its important to note that I use this to monitor my bearded dragon. The AI for these cameras typically expect you to be monitoring a cat or dog, so I turned off the "pet" and other "smart" events because it wasn't working as expected and just set up all motion for event tracking. The last camera didn't catch any of the lizards movement, but the Wyze cam actually tracks movement and occasionally even labels him as "pet". I was happy with this , but lately the service is only catching the beginning and ending of movement. For example, it catches my lizard approaching and leaving the food bowl, but does not show me if he ate or not. I assume this is because of a "cool down" period in the motion tracking.This wouldn't be a major issue for just pet tracking, but I can see how this has security implications. You could see someone approach and leave your house, but miss them actually stealing your packages! For my needs, this is an issue. I am writing a book on pet nutrition and I need to be able to observe my pet eat the food I make so I can take notes. Simply knowing he went over to the food bowl does not help. In other words, I need this for research and Wyze is failing me.To alleviate this problem, I bought an SD card. Now all activity is captured but my problem is not resolved because it is very slow to review the footage from the SD card and if there is a way to speed up playback, I do not see that option. I have tried scrolling and going to the exact time that I know activity happened and still I see nothing in the footage. The timeline will tell you there are events, but not play them. You have to click on the number of events icon to open up a separate even slower timeline that will eventually display what I'm looking for. I haven't done so yet, but I suspect my only way to resolve this is to record the section of footage I know the activity happened at from the SD card, download it to another application, and then view it at the speed I want. That's too much work when I'm already paying for Cam Plus. A simple "jump to" command where I can enter a time and view what happened then, would go a long way.My last issue with Cam Plus is the application and web view. The web view sucks due to a lack of features and its the one I use most often to monitor my pet. Unlike my previous camara and accompanying service, I cannot record, take pictures, etc. from the web view. This can only be done in the app. I wfh and am at my desk all day with web view open. If my lizard does something that I want to capture I have to open my phone quickly and hope I can catch it in time or just record it later using the process described above. Another issue is having to log in to web view every single time WITH multi-factor authentication even though I only access it from the same computer on the same network every time. Recently, a "Remember me" option was added but stopped working after a week.Generally, I am happy with the camera but extremely frustrated with the Cam Plus service. I'm going to stick it out because I have already invested this much, but if there isn't improvement soon I will be looking for a new camera and service. For those of you who haven't made the investment yet, I recommend spending more time researching the Cam Plus service instead of the camera. Again, its a camera, it will do the job it was made to do. But like any camera, how you use it and the tools it uses (Cam Plus) make a huge difference.

Great for indoor use, needs plug unless you buy $36. camera with adapter.Already have outside cameras, so ended up working out fine, used inside detached garage.Like the feature that can turn camera on/off right on picture screen. Since it is inside garage, don't need recording or subscription. Turn on when I want to check things out, like making sure doors are closed.Set up was weird at first, pick camera from picture not by camera name, so kept getting message to add adapter, which is not included with the $20 version. Tried a different picture and it finally worked.No color, just black and white. No scan or ability to move. Can flip to get full screen view. Pretty wide angle, able to pick up all four doors in 36 foot garage. (Two on front and two on side) Ability to move camera when mounting, easy install.

These cameras are awesome for being so easy to set up and inexpensive. Have 5 of them, an older V2 and 4 OG's. Clarity is great. Sometimes one will go off line but come right back when I open the app, (I don't have the greatest wifi either..lol.) Thinking of getting the floodlight version for outside as I have read decent reviews on it too. I wasn't looking for high tech just something to check on the house and yard when not at home and these definitely do the trick! Motion detection just gives me pictures on the app right now as I don't pay for the subscription but I just got SD cards so will see how the recording is with them. Otherwise they do what I need them to do!
