I have several Wyze cameras.. from their first model up to this one. Only ones I haven't tried are the outdoor version1and 2 and the battery operated version.
Definitely an upgrade over versions 2 and 3. Version 3 is slightly better at the short range, 1 to 5 feet, 2 meters, but this one, v4, has a much better picture past that. Even the low light picture is better. Built-in light and 2 way communication is a nice feature.
My version 1 lasted between 1 and 2 years
Version 2 has lasted between 3 years and still working
Version 2 pan is still working but I don't move it much
Version 3 pan works great indoors but only last about 6 months to a year outdoors. Not exposed to direct rain. Direct rain will cause failure quickly.
OG and tel versions work fairly well. Have issues with MicroSD cards stop working. I have the cameras well protected from rain, wind and birds. Have to reset them about once a month.
Know have over 18 different Wyze cameras on 3 different accounts. They are getting better while maintaining a low cost. I spend more on the microSD cards.
Spend the extra for samsung high or pro e durance MicroSD. It is worth it. I ha e yet to replace a pro endurance card. The one high endurance I have replaced was due to total flooding of camera.
If you are looking for cheap but good security cameras with a very easy to use App, wyze is a great choice. Great cameras for indoor and if mounted and taken care of, can be used outdoor for distances up to 200 feet.
I do have another security camera system that cost over ten times as much per camera. Excellent quality. Difficult to setup. Triple backup. Very high definition video. Can read car tag at 300 yards. You don't need that for everyday home security. Wyze works great.
