I installed one looking out the front window and one on the front of my garage and they work very smoothly. Sometimes there’s a 3-5 second connection lag but it’s fine because it records on to the SD card and you can look back at the footage very quickly. The app even tells you the exact moment when there was movement so it makes it easier to go back and rewatch what happened. I was surprised to see the one in the garage still reached the WiFi. It’s about 45ft away from the modem. The footage is very clear although I can’t see license plates which is fine for me I just care about seeing any wanderer-would-be thief or people littering. You can also set where to detect movement and you get notified when there is movement. 3 days in and these things are nice.

Wyze make very affordable cameras. I have had several over the years.These ones are a step up in video quality.They seem better built than earlier cameras. One issue I have with Wyze is that the cameras do fail after a year or two. Some of the earlier outdoor cameras were also not that durable. I had a V3 fail on me last week and another V3 has water behind the lense.These ones seem more robust.Wyze are very affordable so the occasional failure is ok but adding to the E-waste problem is not good.

Main thing, these are good quality cameras. Very small and compact, easily blends into its surroundings and not easy to pick out as a security cam. Picture quality is outstanding and feature set is unbelievable. So for what it's made for, it's a great get for the price.The description is a bit misleading though. Read through the specs and features and it sounds like you're getting all these features out of the box....INCORRECT. You get those features if you pay for a monthly cloud subscription. That is all well and good, but that should be in the descriptive copy, easy to find before purchase.Now, other negative reviews say that you can't record activity without paying....that is not true. You can if you use a micro SD card. Finding the recorded clips isn't straightforward though.When you get notified of movement and open the app, it shows the live view at top and a cascading list of alerts below. Tapping those events pulls up a still frame from the alert period and tapping the play button below that prompts you to subscribe. HOWEVER, you can back up to the main screen, tap the SD shortcut and get a list clips that correspond to those alert times and then play back the recorded video. That allows you very basic security features without subscribing.One big issue there is that there is a 5 minute cooldown period between alerts. Meaning if there is an alert at 10:00, the camera records 30 seconds or so of video, then it won’t alert again until 10:05 regardless of what happens in front of the camera. On the surface, I get that limitation, however I can also see where it could bite you…..a bird flies in front of the camera and alerts at 10:00, then some jackleg walks up and kicks your door down and steals your stuff at 10:02. Guess you’re out of luck.One other bit of info that isn’t given – this camera is billed as indoor/outdoor, which leads me to believe I can buy one, take it out of the box and mount it on the side of my house. Seems straightforward, but no…it comes with a cheap, cell phone type charge cable and wall plug and the first page of instructions says ‘for outdoor use you need xxxx outdoor power supply’….which of course is $20. So your $30 camera turns into a $50 camera if you want to use it outdoors. That’s fine, but say that in the description.I’ll keep these and use them….will just keep big SD cards in them so I can actually play back clips without paying extra.The app seems pretty feature rich (if you pay) and works well. No problems so far. One feature you do have access to is setting notifications and how sensitive the alert features are for movement and sound, so that’s a good thing.So for very basic security cameras, these work fine. Also, if you’re OK paying per month for features they’re very good. Otherwise you might keep looking.

Awesome camera the price can’t beat it. Records 24/7 to an sd card, easy to access playback, and one of few cameras that can record at night behind a window with no glare. I bought 3 for my condo and have one in each rooms window giving me a wide street view where I have caught a hit & run, dbag neighbors leaving their dogs shyts on the sidewalk, and even a delivery driver for a company that shall remain anonymous, dropping and kicking packages into a condo across the street. These cameras actually made me quite popular in the neighborhood with all my shares lol.
