WYZE24/7 Recording DIY Home Security System, Indoor/Outdoor, AI Person Detection, Color Night Vision, Compatible with Alexa, Up to 28 Days of Rolling Security Footage, 1 Camera + 1 SD Card Kit

I'm a professional, and I've been using these things all over the place. They're cheap. They're versatile. They're uncomplicated.The cost point is substantially lower than most of their competition. You can afford to install four of these where you would be able to install a single  . When it comes down to it, you'd rather have more cameras and to be able to replace those cameras more easily. A camera needs to both monitor the general happenings of an area _and_ identify the cause of those happenings. I happily encourage my clients to sacrifice a cheap camera because its last upload to the cloud was a crisp image of the person messing with it.These are flexible in their application. The option for onboard storage means you don't need the cloud, if you don't want it. The option for RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) means these things can be connected to a security recorder not even affiliated with Wyze. The default mount can be torn off with a single Phillips #2 screw, and replaced with a     of  . You can improvise your own mount based on a 1/4" bolt with 20 threads per inch.Their simplicity is a strength. The default options allow for mounting of a camera without even penetrating a wall. Looking through footage from one or even a selected subset of your cameras is relatively painless, even over days. Setting these up is easy enough to be done from the top of a ladder. With the appropriate  , you can use a light socket instead of an outlet. Whether someone's trying to keep an eye on their elderly parents (watching for falls and the like), perimeter security for a house or even a commercial facility, the Wyze Cam v3 is a solid buy.

Excellent. Got this camera to keep an eye on my uncle who resides in a senior living facility. I get to see everything and make sure he is safe! Double check with the living facility to make sure there is a sign on the door saying the room is being recorded! Highly recommend! A++++++

Easy to setup, works great and the pictures are very clear. Plan to purchase another one in the future.

This choice is hard to beat for the average consumer at the seemingly low price $30 USD, but you can expect to spend more money than just that.First the good stuff. The camera is small and inconspicuous, and has a very clear image quality, even in the dark. It's easy to set up; just plug it into a standard power outlet and install the app on your phone. Whatever the camera currently sees, you can see through your phone. By default, it begins actually recording footage whenever it senses motion. The recordings are stored online in the cloud (not in the camera). These recordings are also viewed from your phone, and the camera sends your phone a notification whenever it has sensed motion and recorded something. It can sense motion from pretty far away. It can also capture audio, though the quality is hit and miss and usually very quiet.Now the sketchy parts. The camera's night-vision is only "color" if your definition of "color" is restricted to white, black, and grey. If the camera is looking through a window at night, it's infrared will reflect off the glass and back into the lens, making night-time recording a bust. Better put the camera outside. It also will not function without a wifi signal. When placed outside your house, the camera's wifi reception can be wonky depending on a host of factors. The camera's power cord is a rectangular USB which is a pain in the ass to fit through a drill-hole unless you feel like drilling a hole into your wall that's an inch in diameter. The cord itself is also quite short; maybe 7 feet long at best. Now the biggest buggaboo: you pretty much need to buy their security plan, which is $20 per camera per year. Why? Without said plan, you cannot adjust the criteria for triggering the camera's motion-sensor (and thus recorded events and motion-triggered notifications). This means you will get a notification on your phone every single time so much as a fart blows past this thing, and even then it will only record for 30 seconds. After that it won't record anything for another 5 minutes. This helpful cooldown timer means you'll get the cool 30 seconds of the thief trying to break into your house, but not the the next 5 minutes of him actually doing so and walking away with all your gold-bricks.The security plan lifts the (totally unnecessary) 5 minute cooldown timer, and allows you to set the camera's recording trigger to person, vehicles, package, pet, smoke alarm sounds, and a range of other criteria. It's actually quite good at differentiating between these things. That means you can have it notify you only when it sees people and vehicles, for example. There is also an SD card add-on that is highly suggested. Without the SD card, you'll have no physical copy of the footage. The SD card also allows the camera to record continuously even without a wifi signal. The card has enough capacity for about 4-5 days of continuous footage, and it automatically overwrites the oldest footage once it's reached capacity. The card plugs directly into the camera, which means it is vulnerable in the event that the camera itself is damaged or stolen.Overall, you should expect to spend a total of $45 up front for the camera with the SD card upgrade, plus a recurring payment of $20 a year per camera for as long as you intend to use the thing. This is still favorable for the average joe to other security cameras, which often range into the hundreds of dollars and have much more complicated installation. It's a great choice for home security, or maybe even a small business. You just have to overcome some shady business tactics and pay extra to avoid planned obsolescence.

After an uphill battle with unruly kids/teenagers in my area constantly running through the backways behind my apartment complex, where my window is, and knocking on peoples' windows as they went, scaring residents and pets alike, I finally tried this. I was worried about the capture quality since it would need to get images of the jerks who were running by quickly so we could tell their parents.Needless to say, the picture quality was just fine and several of the rabble have been easily caught and spoken to.I did read others stating that to have continuous recording a SD card was needed, so I did that and never noticed an issue so far. The only thing I can't figure out is how to just have the feed show up on my pc, a much more powerful device compared to my phone, because playback on the phone is VERY laggy and sometimes the times in the recording vs what the timestamp says are not in sync so you have to slog through whole minutes of frames while it's lagging its little brains out to find the one you're looking for. It's probably just my phone, but maybe others can speak for the lag too.At least, once you do have the parts you're looking for it's easy to snip and save clips and then send them however you need/want to from your phone.(Also, I haven't needed to use the night-vision on it yet, so I can't speak for the quality there)

Esta cámara es espectacular tiene un tamaño perfecto ni muy chica ni muy grande, pero lo mejor es la definición y calidad de video tanto con luz como sin luz y audio, excelente

La utilizo para mi negocio y ah resultado muy útil para la seguridad y incluso para recordar detalles

La calidad de la imagen es muy buena con luz y sin luz y sus alertas son muy útiles. Constantemente recibe actualizaciones

Fácil de instalar y configurar, la calidad de imágen me gustó. Lo malo es, que no puedes transmitir la imagen de la cámara a una Smart tv.

Estoy feliz con esta compra! Tiene muy buena calidad en la imagen, tanto diurna como nocturna. Recomiendo totalmente incluir en la compra la tarjeta, es muy útil para tener histórico y se borra automáticamente al llenarse. Mi único comentario no tan favorable, es que desafortunadamente solo es por cable, hubiera sido genial que tuviera la opción de inalámbrico (con pilas) ya que si no hay luz, no ha cámara. Por eso solo 4 estrellas, aunque lo dice la descripción, es un punto importante que noto ahora que la tengo.
