Nice job, Brian. One of the things I like that isn't talked about much is the ability to share a single device with another user. They don't have your account password but use theirs. This not only includes cameras, but also their contact switches, motion detectors, plugs, and bulbs. The use cases for this include using them for caregivers, for relatives, for friends and others. Some folks are uncomfortable giving access to cameras or having access to someone else's cameras, yet with access to a simple motion sensor, they can incorporate that information into monitoring for either desired motion (folks are moving normally inside their house) or motion that isn't desired such as an intruder.
That "maintain previous state" on the bulbs was really well hidden. Each bulb has to be changed. We get frequent (monthly) power failures here and this will help. Wyze is the best! I hope that Sengled will do the same for their bulbs. Thanks for the heads up, Brian.
Hmm. A company that is doing things right unlike the others that lie and hide behind bs statements. I like Wyze alot and it shows . They are growing exponentially!! Just stumbled on your video and loved the content and attention to detail!! Subbed!!
At 1:52 -- Please use the feature at least once before rushing to make a video. "Elect SD Card" is the same as it is on any other device, in any other operating system: it unmounts the card and closes any open files to prevent possible file corruption. It does not shoot the card out of the camera at you.
I love 💗 Wyze products (from what I’ve seen here on UA-cam) but had a feeling that they wouldn’t expand outside of mainland North America for a couple more years yet. But when you said that magic word “International” my ears pricked up and I honestly got a little excited 😊🥳🎉🤩, but how much international? Just Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽 or will they go further? Is there a website link you can share for me to get more information? Thank you 🙏
Hey Michael - It's gonna be Canada in 2020, but my understanding is they're working on the UK as well. AUS...not sure there. That one's always tough because of certifications. Something I can answer more in detail in our monthly Q&A video though!
Automate Your Life Thank you 🙏😊 I really appreciate these replies. 🤞Fingers crossed for Australia, but like you said, yes in Oz we’re a licensed electrician only country when it comes to 240 volt electrical wiring.
Tried using the Wyse sensors for my fridge, that sit open accidently if you don't close the right door before the left. Have gotten nothing but false alarms constantly, I run Samsung mesh Wi-Fi and don't really have problems with my Wyze cams for what I use them for. Think I'll stick to that, redundant indoor cameras from wyze pointing at my entrances / watching my dog.
It might be the fridge actually causing some reflection of the signals there...that might be for some reason a tough situation for them to be accurate in. Just a guess Nate...I don't know cause I've never really kept them on my fridge for any length of time.
Thank you for another informative video! I'm glad to hear Wyze is working on a doorbell. I've been wanting one for some time but up-front cost and monthly costs for the current 'good' devices have made them unattractive to me. I did recently get one from Energizer which has some really nice features, including working with my existing chimes and a really attractive price, but unfortunately a poor camera. Clarity is good but contrast is terrible - I just get video of silhouettes coming to my door, so have to view on my other camera. Also, the vertical angle is poor - I can't see the area in front of the door and the person's head when at the door. I'm expecting Wyze will not have these issues but still be a budget price. Looking forward to your review on it when it does arrive!
Al Brettnell I’m hoping for a dual camera (like the Maximus Answer dual cam doorbell) that would eliminate the poor vertical angle problem, but I’m not holding my breath as the cost of two cameras would probably be too much. Although if anyone can do it, Wyze can!
@@AutomateYourLife - Yes, I did. I did not consider that one, though, because it does not work with my existing chimes. And have you looked at their site lately? One of the 'features' listed is (quote) "Quick installation with super adhesive tape, even girls could do with it in minutes" (end quote). Really? WOW! I won't even go there! ha ha.
Hi Brian, As to Wyze coming out with an outdoor camera, I've been using three Wyze cameras outdoors (in enclosures) for over a year now, without any issues whatsoever. All of them are mounted under the eves and are protected from most (if not all) bad weather. I've become less impressed with Wyze as a company in general in the past year. Along with the three cameras, I also have Wyze contact and motion sensors. They are all very unreliable. When an event occurs, like open/close, or motion, there will typically be anywhere from a 4 to 10 minute delay in getting notified of the event. This makes these sensors totally useless in any automation or security setups. I've now turned to Samsung Smartthings where I find a variety of way more useful and reliable smart products. Thanks, as always, for your informative videos Brian!
You know Andy, I've been putting together my thoughts for a troubleshooting type of video for Wyze and their products. I feel like in a lot of cases, that kind of a delay is more based on something else going on. The sensors themselves, just so I'm as clear as I can be, have definitely instantly reported the event. Otherwise, you wouldn't receive the event at all. They don't have any storage space or storage buffer at all. So it's getting to your camera...from there, maybe that's where we need to start diagnosing. 4-10 minutes feels like it could be held up somewhere locally waiting for a device to respond like a router. I can't remember though...what's your router/wifi setup like?
WYZE put out the outdoor cam already. I couldn't wait and ended up buying a reolink argus eco with solar panel it was less than $80 free cloud and has sd card recording
Hi! Love the Wyze products so far, but I have 2 questions: 1) When will the Wyze Lock get compatibility with Google? 2) Will they ever have a side entry Plug? I have some that are located behind furniture, and the additional space the Plug takes up makes the furniture stick out further from the walls than I would like. Thanks in advance!
1 - That's a tough question to answer. To me, the integration will be much sooner with Alexa. Wyze and Amazon have appeared to me to be partnering much more often. Also, Google's been adjusting to the Works With Nest program, so if I had to bet, it'll start to come in starting in April/May. 2. I haven't heard of anything from Wyze on a different plug and I get the sense that no...they won't. :( They take product suggestions on their community boards though!
Great Cam... I've had mine for about a month now. The sad part is I shut it off 90% of the time. The ''Detection Zone'' zone doesn't work with a shit. I've moved the camera 2 times already. ANY motion within the cam View will trigger a notification. I've even tried the ''Detection Zone'' and turned the sensitivity to low on just the hood of my car but it still sees a car drive by 50 feet away and send an alert.
Yeah...that's why the outdoor camera is being delayed here. There's really not a good way to configure these outdoors, at least not if you have a view of the road or have lights going by.
I've had a WYZE cam for about a year and loved it when I first got it but it seems that Notification time are getting longer and longer. As an example, and event triggered my cam at 7:03am and I did not get the notification until approx 7:41. Notification times have always been 5 to 15 seconds longer than that of a lot of competitors but had always been within 2 to 3 minutes. Almost 40 mins to get a notification is useless IMO.
Totally useless. The one thing I'll say is that delay in notifications aren't usually based on the actual cameras. They can't really store notifications so much as they can be delayed by the network and the cloud service. The cloud service is definitely being worked on by Wyze as a major issue with their platform right now, but sometimes we have to look within our own network!
I bought this to notify me of my dogs are barking so I can talk to them to quiet down. Also bc I think it’s other dogs and not always mine 😉 How do I set that up?
Hi Michelle - So you want a sound notification turned on and only that! I'd also turn the sensitivity down pretty low so you're not capturing other dogs in the neighborhood.
WYZE is going to change the whole world of cheap and well made Smart Home equipment and let customers help with some testing but also listens to its customers and change an issue and work with everyone. I am waiting for the 240V UK WYZE goods to hit the euro market and will decently be buying the WYZE Door Lock plus WYZE camer and WYZE plugs and light bulb plus other items as time goes by.
Automate Your Life absolutely. I’ve had good luck with Auto Unlock. It works perfect for me every time. But the keypad is essential for everyone who isn’t me. Lol.
I wish Wyze would start selling their contact sensor starter kits at Home Depot. And I also wish they would just start selling the Contact Sensor Bridges separately on their website. You need one on each level of your house to get accurate smart home control, but it’s annoying that you have to keep buying starter kits just to get them.
Automate Your Life Yeah, I’ve bought the Wyzecam/Wyze sense kit before from Home Depot two times, I think. Now I don’t really have anymore need for extra cameras (until they come out with outdoor ones) and just need one more bridge for the kitchen and maybe a few more sensors. Pretty much got all the indoor area cameras I need. All the public areas are covered now. Don’t need more because the only areas left are areas where family needs to sleep or change and don’t want to cover those areas. But yeah, it would be nice to just quickly grab the contact sensor starter kit at a Home Depot and not have to wait for shipping. If not at Home Depot, they should at least put them on Amazon so people can get next day shipping. With my messed up work schedule right now, I hate ordering stuff and then coming back at night when everyone’s trying to sleep and not being able to set up things the way I want for 4 whole days till my off days arrive again.
Odd question that I cannot find an answer to. Have you ever seen a Google Home Hub 8 paired with a Wyze Cam v2 allowing for the use of Duo video calling? Multiple birds with 2 very cheap stones!
One thing I’ll never use is a wireless home door lock. Yes conventional locks could be picked, but wireless could be hacked without ever seeing anyone interacting with the lock.
Hey, Brian. I have three Wyze cams all of which point to exterior doors. (front, back, garage). I have none that see inside my house because I am unsure about doing so for security/privacy reasons. I don't consider myself to be a "tin foil hatter" by any stretch. But, I am wondering if you view such reluctance as that type of paranoia or as justifiable caution.
I don't feel right having a camera point in the house all the cameras have security issues like ring had. Hackers can look at my outdoor cams or listen in all they want.
It’s great they are releasing new products, but I wish they would hurry up and release the wyze camera in Australia and rest of the world. Wouldn’t that give them more money to use for development of the new products?
Yeah, and they've actually explained to me in the past that it's not a matter of lack of want. In many cases regulatory restrictions and distribution is a real nightmare to get set up. At the same time, I share your frustration in the old Great White North of Canada.
Grantos I share your frustration. I live in Australia as well. But considering Canada 🇨🇦 uses the same plug configuration and voltage as the USA, and is only a hop skip and a jump from Wyze headquarters in Seattle, it’s amazing they hadn’t been delivering there before now! We 🇦🇺will just have to wait for our turn.
Ahhhh now that's a good question! I'm going to answer this on our next Q&A so you got that coming Brian. Short and sweet, it can over rule but you need to configure it correctly!
Yes. I have my contact sensors set to trigger a camera to record a video when the front door is opened. It will record a clip every time even if just a few seconds apart
That's usually based on the Wyze cloud service being slow. You can also check your network internally and make sure those cameras have a good connection to your WiFi that's stable and not overloaded with too many devices.
I didn’t look for specifics about how it works besides it just casts to my smartphone but I figured it out shortly after my rant, how to get it to work ! You have to unplug & reboot your WiFi crap and use the 2.4 link and you should be good. I’m happy with my Wyze now and still have to figure out all the settings n stuff. It works great 👍
Ohhhhh Troy! You're talking about how the connection process goes initially on setup! Yes! They've struggled with this and there are some workarounds but it's not fun.
I bought 3 of them. JUNK. I don't get half of the trips. And they wait too long for notifications. Also even though I installed micro chip. They don't recognize that the chip is there. JUNK JUNK JUNK
Hey Grandpas Music - I think maybe you're caught in a few of the issues that people have with Wyze Cams. I'm putting together a video that's going to help a lot of folks like you...but you have to be open to hearing that the problem might be as much yours as it is theirs! So it's OK to be mad...but I hope you'll let me help you when the video comes out!
Nice job, Brian. One of the things I like that isn't talked about much is the ability to share a single device with another user. They don't have your account password but use theirs. This not only includes cameras, but also their contact switches, motion detectors, plugs, and bulbs. The use cases for this include using them for caregivers, for relatives, for friends and others.

I always keeping an eye with your new post, always help me at work. Thanks always :)
Hey! Great!! 😃
I guess I am kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?
Yet another exceptional, informative video!!
I'm glad you thought so! I really worked hard on this one!
Looking forward to the person detector coming back, I have really missed it.
So many have Stephen! It looks to be getting close!
I didn't lose it. I haven't upgraded the firmwire waiting till Wyze comes out with it again
Would this alert me if my dogs are barking? It’s why I bought this camera.
@@michelletaylor8277 yes just activate sound detection and set the sensitivity
I actually didn't update mine yet. Im still pn the software version with the person detector
That "maintain previous state" on the bulbs was really well hidden. Each bulb has to be changed. We get frequent (monthly) power failures here and this will help. Wyze is the best! I hope that Sengled will do the same for their bulbs. Thanks for the heads up, Brian.

My mistake John. I had read on some forums that this occurred and didn't test it.
any idea when the Wyze Lock issues with the Auto-unlock to be address?
So I haven't run into this problem yet...what's the specific one you're talking about though?

Anyone else use the Contact Sensor and the timed notifications on a fridge? That was the best thing I did since I got the Wyze Sense package.
It's great! Now if you watch a few of our videos you could take that all the way to a Sonos speaker for an audible notification!
Oh yeah. I’ve 3 kids that can open the fridge but all 3 seem to have an aversion to closing the door 😂.
Tried using the Wyse sensors for my fridge, that sit open accidently if you don't close the right door before the left.

Good question and something that I'll put in our monthly Q&A! Basically, no word because it died on the table... :(
I’ve been wondering about this as well. I think it was to take a laptop drive and hook to your router?
WYZE put out the outdoor cam already. I couldn't wait and ended up buying a reolink argus eco with solar panel it was less than $80 free cloud and has sd card recording

Will wyze make a flood light with camera? I have 4 of there cameras i use outside work great

I think the flood light is something you could do with one of their smart plugs and a regular flood light! That'd be my suggestion for now :)

All you need to use Wyze in the UK is a 240v USB charger. No need to wait, they run the same power as a cell phone.
I’ve heard the keypad will be available by end of March
That would be good news for everyone!

I'm having a issue my sensors since the batteries died and I replaced them and now they don't want to connect back, any idea?
Try to bring the camera with the bridge closer if you can, and or re set up the bridge...and then the sensors again if you have to.
One thing I’ll never use is a wireless home door lock. Yes conventional locks could be picked, but wireless could be hacked without ever seeing anyone interacting with the lock.
It's not something to be taken lightly for sure. That's one of the reasons that a secure network is so important!
Hey, Brian. I have three Wyze cams all of which point to exterior doors. (front, back, garage). I have none that see inside my house because I am unsure about doing so for security/privacy reasons.

It takes 1 minute to get notification
That's usually based on the Wyze cloud service being slow. You can also check your network internally and make sure those cameras have a good connection to your WiFi that's stable and not overloaded with too many devices.
My wyze campan has been outside for 6 months no problems
Oh good! Thanks for the knowledge on that Dan!
I have wyze stuff ,they need some refining
Definitely not perfect, but still very good for the pricing model.
Too bad they don’t warn you before you purchase them that they DONT support 5 G!
States it clearly under their specifications: WIFI: 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz (Does not support 5GHz network) Supports WPA and WPA2 protocols

Do not waste your money on this product it’s crap works once then stops working
Sounds like you should talk to Wyze's support!
But do not be color blind to green....Wyze is full of impossible green. That sucks.
