Cam v4 (Latest Model), 2.5K AI Security Camera, Indoor/Outdoor Cameras for Home Security, Baby Monitor & Pet Camera, Vibrant Color Night Vision, No Subscription Required, Free Expert Help

I bought 4 of these to replace my YI Home cameras, now that that company has dropped any real ability to use view the cameras! I had an older Wyze cam that was still working, so it seemed they could build reliable stuff. I have been VERY impressed! Setup was rather amazingly fast...way faster than other systems that require you to be scanning codes with the camera, etc. Image quality is EXCELLENT. Far better than expected. Night vision is AMAZING. I replaced the older Wyze in my garage and the difference is night and day (pun intended!) in the ability of this thing to present an image in low light!!! The mounts have turned out to be quite flexible in getting the thing pointed where you want. And the app is straightforward, and works! VERY satisfied!

Truly an amazing little camera, especially for the price. The picture clarity in both regular and night vision is seriously outstanding. We had a few of the earlier models and while they were decent, this newer model is so much more clear. The ease of use is a huge plus as well. We have multiple camera systems in our place and this is used as a backup to monitor things. It's perfect and the price is a bargain. Our main system is slightly better on the clarity, but it cost a small fortune. I'd love to see WYZE come up with a complete system for homes and apartments down the line. This is highly recommended.

Great, versatile security camera This 1080p Wi-Fi camera is ideal for indoor and outdoor use, featuring color night vision, two-way audio, and an integrated spotlight for improved visibility in the dark. Easy to install and use, weather-resistant, and with instant motion notifications. Excellent value for home security.

Easy to setup. Good quality pictures and videos. If you want the “Ai” to work (it tells you if it sees a human, car, dog…etc) You need to pay for the subscription. If you want it to record when it detects movement. You need to pay for the subscription or just buy a SD card for the camera. I did not purchase the subscription and just got a SD card. It detects movement and records the video to the SD card well. If you’re using it outdoors. You need to buy the outdoor cable separately. I’d give this 5 starts. But the “detection zone” you can adjust simply does not work. A google search verified this. It constantly picks up cars driving by and it shouldn’t. I have the detection zone set to not detect the street and it still does. But for the price it’s still a good camera.

I have been using Wyze cameras for years and for the price, they provide the best quality security footage around my property. Out of all the ones I have purchased, a couple went bad due to harsh out door temperatures and one simply stopped working, but for the most part, I would stlil buy more of these for the price and quality they provide.

Bought two Wyze cameras - this one and the Cam Pan V3. If you don't need the rotate this is a great choice - the streaming quality on this one is higher and it's got a light on it which I found surprisingly useful. The two-way communication is actually pretty awesome - for as small as it is the camera's mic pics up decent audio. I did find that if you're on the monitoring end and want to speak through the camera you should do so slowly and deliberately as it takes a half-second for the speaker on the camera to kick on and broadcast; it cuts you off a little so just make sure you enunciate. Night mode is neat but I never use it. I use this for on-demand monitoring rather than 24/7 security so I had to look up how to disable certain things (motion tracking boxes, automatic light/alarm, etc.) but all were, blessedly, able to be disabled. Other reviews said those settings sometimes mysteriously come back on but I haven't experienced it, but had this operational for only about 20 days now. Having had this installed for over two week I've had none of the problems others spoke about. App is surprisingly functional and stable. I wish there were a "refresh" button in it as I had to close it out and re-open a couple of times to catch up to a live feed, but other than that no big deal. I will say they REALLY like to push notifications, access to your device, and upsell their cloud service. You can always hit no, but the popups are recurrent - I've had several in the ~20 days of use so far, so likely every few days you'll be asked if you're *REALLY* sure you don't want to buy online storage. Cameras haven't disconnected at all. Again, had to restart the app a few times but they were never unavailable to me. Unless I got lucky with these units I'm guessing they ironed out the problems people were having and/or the issues folks experience are because the cameras are on the periphery of WiFi - these do take a lot of data and so a strong, consistent signal is necessary. If you're monitoring these remotely on cell signal, know you'll need a good 5G signal to get an uninterrupted live feed. If you're low on bars or busted down to LTE you'll get some chop, maybe serious chop, depending on how hairy your connection is. These are essentially like streaming Netflix so again strong, consistent data is key if you want a truly live monitor. All in all, for the price, I'm honestly blown away. They have to be making near-zero on the hardware and using cloud subscriptions to subsidize selling the units, which would explain the constant badgering to sign up. But in the end that just means I get a really serviceable entry level camera for the cost of a nice lunch.

Great product

⭐⭐ I’m impressed!! I purchased two of the Wyze Cam v4 (2.5K HD) cameras about four months ago, and overall I’m very happy with them. Below is a breakdown of what works well and what I’ve noticed. What I Like: 1. Image quality & night vision: The clarity is excellent, even in low light. The color night vision is a big upgrade over older security cams I’ve used (Lorex). I can make out faces and details at night. I compared this to my Ring Doorbell 3 Plus that I reinstalled at the same time as these, and it’s not a comparison at all. The Wyze (to be fair, it’s newer and has more advanced technology) is much clearer during the day, and especially at night. At night, the Ring only works for items up close and rarely catches movement more than about six feet away. 2. Indoor/outdoor flexibility: These are weather rated (IP65), so I’ve used one outside under a covered porch and one on the eve of the house. The one on the eve is exposed to so much more weather, and is handling it like a champ. They handle light rain/dampness just fine (so far)…snow is coming; we will see about how that is! 3. Motion-activated spotlight + siren: When motion is detected, the LED spotlight and voice warning kick in. Both are optional and you can shut them off, but having the spot light turn on is lovely. This light is bright enough to avoid putting on our outside light at night. This is helpful as a deterrent. The siren is fairly loud, but not something I require the use of. 4. Setup & app usability: Setup was straightforward. The magnets on the bases are amazing, plus each cam comes with permanent mounting hardware. I have yet to use the permanent mounts; the magnets are prefect. The one cam is stuck upside down to a metal piece under the eve, and it’s stayed through crazy wind and weather without issue. The other is resting on a screw on the handrail of the deck and it doesn’t move either. The Wyze app is intuitive, and switching between my two cameras is seamless. The dual audio (two-way) works well when I check in. 5. Value for money: For the features you get (2.5K resolution, weather rating, color night vision, motion alerts, etc.), this is a strong value. I feel like I got “more cam for the money.” Who’d have thought for $50 I could get a great quality security camera? ⚠️ What I’ve Noticed / What Could Be Better • Power / wiring limitations These are wired cameras (not battery based). If your location is far from a power outlet, you need to order longer cables. I had to order a couple of 20 foot cables separately since I didn’t have an outlet 5 feet away. This was a bit of a hassle. • Motion detection false positives: Occasionally, I get alerts from shifting shadows, or leaves/branches blowing in the wind. And sometimes I get alerts from rain. Let’s not forget spiderwebs and the odd moth. The detection isn’t perfect. You’ll want to fine-tune your sensitivity settings and zones to reduce false alerts. During rainstorms, I reduce my sensitivity a fair bit so if a still get alerts but not hundreds over a short period. • Latency / lag: There’s a slight (or sometimes a little longer) delay (a second or two, up to 5 to 10 seconds) between motion and when the live feed shows up. It’s not a deal breaker, but worth noting if you’re expecting instant response. I suspect this is due to my Wifi and not the cameras/app themselves. I did not want to wire any camera with Ethernet direct again, so this is the cost of using wireless, in my opinion. • Subscription vs local recording To get advanced features (person, package, pet detection), a Cam Plus subscription helps. But if you don’t want to pay, local microSD recording is viable, though you lose some “smart detection” features. And this was the basic subscription I got, not the Cam Unlimited Pro. The Unlimited Pro actually recognizes faces you have saved in the app as family/friends (which makes notifications of people a lot easier), allows you to search with a search button for specific events (rather than scrolling nonstop), 60 day cloud backup (vs 14 on Cam Plus), etc. I didn’t need this feature, but did want cloud backup so I chose the Cam Plus. 💡 Tips / Best Practices l • Place the camera at about 7–9 ft height (2–3 meters); high enough to reduce tampering, low enough for good detail. • Point the motion zone toward typical movement paths (walkway, door, driveway) to reduce stray triggers. • Use decent microSD cards (if using local storage); go for brands with good write speed and reliability. • Test the setup at night after installation to ensure the color night vision works well where you place it. In summary: If you’re looking for an affordable, capable camera for both indoor and outdoor use, the Wyze Cam v4 is a strong pick. Between my two units, I haven’t had any major issues yet, and I feel confident in their performance. Of course, like all cameras, they aren’t perfect; but for the price and features, I’d recommend it.

Much improved clarity compared to previous and the spotlight not only provides light but as it is motion sensitive it acts as a deterrent. Clearly recorded an intruder at 4am and aided in his apprehension.

Can't see the video recorded unless you need to pay monthly subscription for each camera.

Camera is fine and a reasonable priced at around £50 each but the cost of using the clever detection and storage feature is ridiculous. £140 per year for their enhanced detection. Anywhere you go in the app it is trying to flog you their subscription service. It also doesn't work with Apple Home which is why I bought it.
