I have been a WYZE cam customer for a long time. I will say that it’s been a hit/miss with some products by this company.. I hope my review will let you make a more informed choice..
So I will keep my review unbiased and try to focus on specific qualities of this cam..
First thing, this cam is wireless, it will need to be connected to the internet via WiFi and the WYZE app…
This camera comes with a battery that can be charged while inside the camera.. OR you can plug a USB-C cord right into the pack- and it does come with a power cord. This allows you to have a little more flexibility on how to re-charge the battery.
I have not had any issues with power with my outside cam due to having my camera receiving power from the Wyze Solar Panel ..the cam fully charged in less than a day and has not been under full power since.
My second battery cam that was charged via usb-c, I performed a settings adjusted via WYZE app to reduce the power consumption due to the light on this camera being VERY BRIGHT. That seems the have did the trick- cam has been holding charge for 2 1/2 months and can probably go several more since it is now around 50% battery life.
The quality of image from this camera is highly detailed and will definitely capture someone in the middle of darkness, due to the highly sensitive sensors that will trigger the light/recording. Camera can also identify what it is, and will send alerts directly to your device letting you know what triggered the cam.
Features I use included with the WYZE cam app are the alerts, and the app offers a paid version of cloud storage to gold up to 2 weeks of event video clips. The free version gives users up to 2 weeks of saved images, but will still allow you to access recorded content as long as you have a memory card installed on the camera. I, personally- like to just record my own clips which the app also allows me to save and share.
The barrier/zone selection gives users a way to select an area that will trigger the camera- this comes in handy if cam faces out towards a street with high movement/traffic.
This also cam lets you talk to whoever is on the other end of the shot, which makes it easy to communicate with someone knocking at the door. Sound quality is clear and very loud- no static with a great internet connection, in my experience.
I enjoy using this camera as a way to monitor deliveries and visitors to my home. The bright flood light also makes it much easier to see while trying to unlock my door at night. I keep a second one in the backward, currently unmounted due to not having decided if I will be getting a second wyze solar panel, yet..
The mounting equipment the cam has included was perfect.. I had actually purchase a different set of mounts that I ended up not needing .. the ones that come with the camera are great quality and easily installed.
A pro AND con is that the camera is not able to pan, so the direction it faces when installed will be the only direction it will face until you move it.
If you want a cam that pans/moves while you are away, this will not work for you..
If you are looking for a cam that has a large coverage area and will stay put, this cam will work for you!!
For the price, the quality and features of this cam throws the competition out of the water, I recommend this WYZE cam to everyone. I will definitely be buying more here soon.
Hope my review helps, happy shopping.
