- Today, we are going to compare the new Wyze Cam V3 vs the Blink Mini. I did compare the Blink mini before with the older version of the Wyze Cam..V2 (video link below) but with the latest release of their version 3, we will do a comparison video again and see which one is better.
So, we will compare the video and audio quality, features, and also features that one camera has that the other doesn't have. In the end, you can decide which budget friendly WiFi camera will be a goof fit for your home.

I’ve watched over a dozen reviews of both products and I can assure you that your review was without a doubt far superior to all the other reviewers. No one even came close to the amount of technical and visual examples that you gave. I already purchased the blink and after this review I’ve decided to return it and to purchase the Wyze camera instead. Thanks for a very neutral review, you presented the facts and you let the reader choose for themselves which was the best product. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Thanks for your thoroughness in reviewing the products and making my buying decision easier. Peace!
I have watch a ton of reviews - the job you did with this comparison was SPECTACULAR. Basically, your review is really the only one a person needs in order to make a choice about wireless cameras.
Wow that was the most in depth , informative video I’ve ever watched! Thank you so much, going with Wyze
I just started doing some research on decent but inexpensive cameras. Your review was very thorough and thought out. I going to be watch some of your other reviews just bcuz. Great work!!!!
Another great comparison video! And I loved your use of multi-cam comparisons...really made the distinction so much clearer for a guy like me with short-term memory issues. LOL The v3 kicked it here. However, the Blink sounded clearer to my ears, which should not be much of an issue during a nighttime robbery, unless a pair of robbers need to communicate with each other during the robbery. Thanks again!
Thank you.
Man, this video comparison is so great. I wish other reviews were half as detailed and in depth as yours. Keep it up!
About time for me to add wyz to my setup..great review as usual
I liked the side by side comparison you did . I would like to see you review different brands especially outdoor security cameras wired and wifi. Thank you Bill.....great job
Thanks.
Thank you sir. Now I can decide which to buy
I just got 2 wyze cam v3 because of you to compare to my 4 blink cameras. So far it's pro & con. But I like them both.
Love your videos! Thanks so much for your channel!!
Excellent comparison ... well done!
The Night view benefits of the V3 is why I’m upgrading the V2 I have. I may need another for the lounge, replacing the PanCam, which can be moved elsewhere. I never use the Pan functions anyway.
My favorite UA-camr video!!! The rock
Another well made video! Wyze seems more versatile, but the blink video quality seems warmer. Its really coming down to who can offer you more features. Thanks again!
I owned the blink and I think maybe mentioning things like modules and accessories would add a lot to this review but still very good video. Thanks. I think wyze sounds better overall
I mentioned in your previous post they look alike, actually wouldnt be able to tell which one was which unless you told me!
Also, the Blink indoor test has blue and red outlines like the Ring cams!
I absolutely appreciate the time and effort that you put into your videos. You are incredibly analytical in your approach to sharing camera performance. Thank You so much for the time and effort that you put into your videos!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Wyze hands down.. there's no comparison.. however, the sound quality on the blink might be a tiny bit better... that's the only advantage it has over the Wyze.
Another advantage is that is ships worldwide not just to US. Not to mention Wyze should be shipped since November, then changed it to December and now they changed it to January. So.....maybe you can preorder and patiently wait forever.
Thanks for the review. 👍
Your reviews are always so helpful. Will you please review the apps of security cameras? Why are there so many bad reviews in the app store? What permissions are required and where is the information being sent. Why do apps need our contact lists?...it's an invasion of privacy! People listed in my contact list didn't give their permission to give their info away...and vice versa. Since most seem to be based out of China, it's a serious privacy issue for me. It makes me hesitant to buy a camera. Thank you!
i have both but Im pretty impressed with wyze cam v3. I had to put this camera on the window. the night vision is much better.
The wyze camera price has almost doubled. Now their starting price is around $35.98 at Amazon's.
Yep. They say its because of a chip shortage and other devices of theirs will also be more expensive
Love your reviews, can you test wyze lock???
Hard to see any other cam under $25 that matches the Wyze V3. I remember getting some cheap 1080p cams for the house only a few years ago just to tinker with. Now the quality for the same amount of money has improved tremendously.
Merkury from Walmart isn't bad at all very similar to these
The blink mini cameras are on sale for about $12 each
I pre-ordered 2 WyzeV3. Still waiting for it to be shipped. I'm taking my old Wyze down and replacing them with the V3. I'll use my old Wyze in different areas around the outside of our house.
They postponed shipment as far as I know twice already. That doesnt seem good to me. I wouldnt preorder even if I was able to. They dont even ship outside US. Hopefuly you wont loose you money.
@@AzogDefilerFromMordor I did get my email about the delay and will come in December.
Good luck waiting should've went with someone different
Time to Vote --- Thumbs UP for Wyze .....
Thank you po. Very informative video. New subscriber
That light panel on the wall is awesome were is the power cord?
I have two and am very happy about them. Please, You did not attribute the audio sources in this clip. Was it camera source? Thanks! Good job!
Dang... i can’t wait for the wyze v3. No sub, 24/7 continually you can’t beat that.
I bought the blink first then instantly wanted Wyze but I enjoy the blink for the price, no one should be upset by it.
But definitely Wyze
It’s wise to choose Wyze
WOW! If we could only have the audio quality of the Blink in the Wyze...😕.
I KNOW! I KNOW... “We talking VIDEO, Michel!!!” lol. But still, the Blink’s audio is SO much better, don’t y’all agree?
Hey, Mr. Provider_ thank you SO much for what you do for your follows.✨🤗✨
Wyze audio is an embarrassment.
Thank you.
Nice and informative video. Came across your channel and am hooked. What is your take on one having different smart security cams setup. e.g for the front door you have the ring doorbell, for the indoor you have blink camera and for the outside you have wyze and maybe ring motion sensors? Is it viable to do such kind of a setup in terms of compatibility and scalability.
I think it is better to have at least 2 brands or setups so that 1 can act as a backup if the other one goes down or offline
I just about bought a couple wyze v2 cans but am glad I waited till I saw this and the v3 review you did before cause I'm wanting 3 of them and 2 will be outside and 1 inside to watch our dog
I hook mines to my Google so on my phone or tv, I can say the name of the room and the camera pops up. So friggin cool. Jus takes like 5 seconds sometimes longer for it to come on though. It's not instant but it works 100 percent. So awesome let me tell u
I wish we could combine the Wyze video with the Blink audio , it would be perfect.
Will choose Wyze when we can purchase in the UK.
Wyze FTW.
Thanks a lot about your introduction and comparison. But I have a question about Wyze Cam v3, I want to use this camera on my unmanned boat to see the area and record its vision when I need to. Is this camera can gives me this ability? Is it possible to start and stop recording with program? Is it API camera?
I’ve ordered the V3 and it will be delivered on December.
In short:
Blink - Better sound capture, more fluid video movement (at the cost of video quality), and 2-3 secs faster notification.
Wyze - Everything else is superior (far better night/day quality and range, cloud, local storage, more sensors&options, way better and faster app, etc)
I’m looking for an indoor camera for pet activity with the 360 camera that I can move from my phone. Any recommendations? Really like ur videos.
Hello, is there a Wyze Ring security system integration e.g. trigger Ring alarm when Wyze cam detects motion or trigger Wyze to record when Ring alarm is triggered?
There is a known issue with some blink mini cameras where they lock up overnight and fail to record or notify, apparently they fail to transition from night to day mode and stay locked up until you initiate a live view which causes them to work again.
Have 2 and bought 2 for some and all 4 exhibit this fault but many seem happy so I assume it’s a problem with a small batch however that makes it a lottery.
Community posts show problem has existed for year so no fix coming and support no help.
Otherwise good camera just not for security.
Can the blink be used facing out a window ? What about night time window reflection? How do I get rid of this?
I ordered two of the Wyze V3 in Oct last week. Haven't received it yet. The website shows they will be delivered in December or maybe in January. I'm wondering if they had enough budget to make cameras since they are releasing a new product every few weeks.
Update - Just got an email today that the item has been shipped.
Thank you. Wyze wins by a mile
Which of these cameras are better for live streaming?
Great video! When recording in *24/7 mode* with the Wyze Cam V3, what happens when the microSD card is full? Do the recordings get overwritten (ie: Loop) or does the camera just stop recording?
The video just loops. Not sure what the biggest size micro sd card is on the v3 though.
It loops record.
The sd card will corrupt before it fills up due to wyze's poor coding. You will be reformatting your SD card about twice a month 😀
I have both..I have a wyze 3 in my front window..I just got a blink mini for my back door..which one is better..I have no lights in the back
Will you be reviewing the Wyze security system when it becomes available? I got an email yesterday the pre orders start on December 8. The V3 is looking solid and making me wonder if a Wyze security system is viable after all.
I have to check it out.
Hello question, the local recording of V3 with 32gb micro sd is good for about 3 days, after that is it automatically be deleted to store for the next 3 days?
Wyze is cool. But the firmware updates can kind of mess things up. But they fix it pretty quick. I still love wyze
So, in order for me to review my footage from the continuous 24/7 recording on the WyzeCam, I'd have to remove the SD card and hook it to my computer, correct? There's no way to download from the camera wirelessly, or am I mistaken?
No. Just click playback in the app and it will get you to the timeline where you can select play and record the footage to your phone.
Thank you for the very informative video ! I just ordered the wyze camera and I wanted to purchase the sd card, can it be any 32bg sd card or does it have to be the specific wyze brand ?
😘
Thank You
Well done
Q
Can you have 3 or more Wyze cameras set up at the same time to be viewed on an I phone?
Thx man
👊
Which indoor cam would you recommend for placing in my aging mother’s house to keep an eye on her remotely. Would like for a cam to plug in so I don’t have to have her worry about changing batteries.
I am doing the exact same thing. I like to be alerted at night so I can remind her to use her walker on way to bathroom. So I bought the Blink mini….few cons so far after week of use. Motion sensor is a bit delayed. Notification sound is VERY quiet so it doesn’t wake me up every time(defeating the purpose). Also sometimes it doesn’t connect and just says failed so I have to close out app and reopen.
Otherwise great visual and audio, intuitive & easy to install. Can you share which camera you selected?
@@yibuseato you could potentially automate it with IFTTT. Have it detect motion at a certain time, either with a Wyze/Blink camera or Wyze sense maybe, and then play a trigger/routine to say from an Alexa/Google device "Hey Mom, use your walker on the way to the bathroom". But if she moves in bed, it might trigger a lot of false alarms.
we do this for my grandmother, a camera with pan and tilt, like the Wyze Cam PAN V1 or V2 works great.
The wyze seems to be further a little away. I have the wyze 2 and I noticed that.
Wyze currently has free shipping on orders over $99. Bought 7 V3s to replace a few V2s.
With the V3 can you have motion detection if you do local storage?
Yes.
can I buy a set of three and can show on phone computer
10:26 I didn't get that. You only get the thumbnail preview with subscription? 10:47
👍
They are giving the blink mini as a free gift at the real canadian superstore right now but you have to spend over $250 shopping to get it.
Are you subscribed to the Wyze cloud service?
Actually v3 sounds better in side then outside and the mini has a weird noise in the background
What are those white lights that keeps popping??
If you are talking about during night vision..then those are dust floating around.
I can't seem to get the two way audio to work on my Blink system. I press the talk button on my app and all sound is cut off. Is there a fix?
Try unplugging it and plugging it back in..and see if it fixes it..if not you might have a bad speaker on the camera.
@@LifeHackster I tried to unplug you and plugging back in. That didn't seem to work. I have the outdoor in the mini cam and both of them do the same thing . When I hit the talk button on the app on my cell phone the sound cuts off completely. I talk and nobody can hear me on the other side.
DaMediaGuy Productions buy wyze cam v3 will fix the problem
Time to Vote- Thumbs UP for Blink Mini
Where is this $19.99 price for the Wyze Cam v3 coming from? I'm not finding it cheaper $32. T.T
will this have a dedicated PC app or still Bluestacks emulator?
I’m not sure..
Will the wyze cam v3 need any wifi hub or it works on its own?
Needs wifi but no hub.
Whats thhe best way to secure the camera from hackers?
The microphones sound much nicer on the blink but the camera on the v3 totally outclassed the blink mini. I intend on putting the v3 inside so the cam plus really isn't for me
You gave valuable info but I wish you closed by giving your overall evaluation.
Wyze is better. Blink cam is indoor. Wyze can has the option to chose if you want it outdoors or inside. Having that makes a better camera.
My WYZE Cam v3 arrives on the 23rd
November or December?
@@LilMansMom040506 November
Went on Amazon wyze camera V3 is $40-$60 where can I find them for 20
They are not selling the V3 yet at Amazon. You have to go to Wyze.com and see if they are now available...they were out of stock.
You was about to get scammed 😳 How long did it take to ship did you get it? I want to get v3 I only see v2 in pet smart
I seen on amazon ring spot light cams are not waterproof why does ring continue selling them for outdoors if it’s not waterproof?
It is weatherproof not waterproof
@@LifeHackster So glad I never went with ring cameras in Scotland because it rains a lot here it wouldn’t last long 😂😂😂
Silicone works wonders to weather proof anything. Jus so u Kno
LH, do you know when Wyze will deliver the POE version of Wyze cam?
How do you get those updates?.
The app will let you know if there is an update.
@@LifeHackster Thanks ✌️
Wyze audio sounds muffled compared to the blink. I ordered a Wyze3 for the excellent low-light camera.
I can't get my sd card to eject from my WYZE v2 camera
Try using a small screwdriver to push and pop it out.
Paper clip. Push quick and let it fly. Lol it should literally fly out
Can you watch a live view while at work
Do wyze cameras work with Google hubs
They're supposed to, but mine haven't worked with my hub for a while.
Not reliably.
I don't know why you all commenting say the Blink audio quality is better. It is overly compressed and you are getting the high pitched low quality mp3 effect or the "T" and "s" sounds. If you can't hear that you got bad speakers or headphones.... or hearing issue in general. Yes the Wyze sounds muffled but that's because it is an outdoor camera as well. I take Wyze muffled over ear piercing compression noise from the Blink. Night vision is million times better with Wyze.
I just got wyze cam v3. Dunno why but my alerts, video quality and not missing the first five seconds of the alert video. My eufy system, three times the cost cannot compete with it and let me tell you the Wyze cams are shining THROUGH windows into the yard! Eufy is garbage. For me anyways.
Neo, is that you?
eufy 2k kills both though right?
Probably...I’ll be doing a comparison on it next.
Yeah but does it cost 20 bucks. I'll answer it for u. No it doesn't
the audio quality of the blink is much better than the wayze. I have the wayze v3 and I can confirm the audio quality sucks.
Blink has better audio quality
True. But the advantages of the V3 outway a function I hardly use
yeah, that's a must-have feature. you can sing and entertain the burglar while he is busy ransacking your home.
You can hear the blink mini like a ear
Blink Mini Indoor Camera Works With Alexa?!.
Yes.
5:57 u have become a ghost
Bought 2 in one month, both froze and nothing to do but to return them. I use other company way better and cheaper.
Blink is now $20 or 2 for $34
Wyze v3 is $36
5 minute cool down is garbage, wyze looses.n this guy didn't try the Google again. It's way faster than that. Mine takes 5 to 10 seconds. I guess it depends on the speed of the device being used. I tried it from my new Sony x900 n it's super quick. Only wifi sucks on the wyze n notification is trash. But for 20 bucks, u get what u pay for
Wifi distance should be tested. My wyze sucks n it's not even far. All my other devices get full bars. Wyze says low connection. Wtf I guess u get what u pay for huh
The blink audio is horrible it’s just white noise. It’s like that movie The Sound of Metal.
