Ordered 2 v3 last month and still waiting. I’ll probably still use my outdoor and v2 in different areas sound my home. Thanks. For the videos. Happy Holidays
Exactly! GOD 1st people who gets it!! You want quality 100%? You have to pay for it!!! Why look for as cheap option when you know that more than the 60-80% of the times the cheap option means cheap quality products!
Good comparison video. Provides a lot of info on both. For me the one determining factor is that I am not able to run network cabling to the outside of my house.
Glad I came across this video becus I was gonna buy a few out door. Although I need 1 wireless but was going to get 3 additional cams just becus. I have v1-v3 and like them all in their own respect. Appreciate all your hard work
Wyse cameras should have a mini-jack in the back that can connect to an optional external speaker that would be nice, cause their speakers are horrible.
@@lbrookesahm465 if this is sarcasm, OK I got it if not at least a mini external jack to connect it to another source, it doesn't half to be a 12in speaker but one of those mini bullhorns would be nice. Wyze would be much better if they became native to other products than keeping it to their world.
I use the Wyze outdoor camera in a storage unit with no power and it works great. I don’t need a great image in a small space. I’m still glad there is a battery option. I have 2 v3s on the way for areas with power. I hope a updated pan cam version comes out.
@@08HR350z I hope the pan cam gets the same v3 camera because it better quality and works in low light. I think a batter powers pan can would drain the battery quickly.
@@boudertwin Yea i understand i have a pam cam in my living room and hardly ever look at it and when I do, i never move it . I just upgraded 2 of my v2s to v3s.
Great review! I was thinking about getting the Outdoor Cam, but waiting until Wyze adds the V3 features to it so it's more comparable (like the Starlight sensor)
Awesome vids, looking for a few indoor cams and a cam in backyard (have 80lb German Shepherd in backyard). Currently have 3 ring stick-up cams in front of my house and ring doorbell pro. What would u recommend?
The microphone audio quality is very poor on the V3 when it's outside. Pretty disappointing. I seem to remember from your earlier video with the V3 indoors that it picked up your voice pretty well.
My experience with Wyze 3 cam: Night color vision is great! (But you have to turn off night vision*). I was very disappointed on the detection area, done with a square or rectangle box, which it is worthless when you have plants or trees moving. Wyze should use smug areas like the one use with Warden cam app.
the audio quality of the wyze cam v3 is very poor I am disappointed, I am Mexican and I bought it for my city and its app does not have a translation into Spanish, I do not like that you have to buy the plus version for it to work well.
So Wyze knew they had a notification lag issue and released the cameras anyway. Seriously?! It's this type of stuff that causes me to like Wyze less and less.
What about ONLY RECORD 12 SEC per event trigger? That means if a crime is going on over 10 min and it only records 12 sec then stop & cool down 5 min then record after every 5 min? Then it lose too many criminal actions during those 4-5min intervals. That's a big TURN OFF or useless to capture the whole crime scene. Pls explain that 12 sec thing.
The microphone audio quality is very poor on the V3 when it's outside. Pretty disappointing. I seem to remember from your earlier video with the V3 indoors that it picked up your voice pretty well.
Was the camera close to anything running like a central air unit? The Mic seemed to be picking up something in the background like a hum with some wind too. Oh one other Question: Are you getting Full Screen Pop Up Ads when opening up the live feed? I have seen some people reporting this.
I don't like that you are forced to buy the cloud storage. I just want to record to the camera only. I could imagine how good this will work in Canada at -25C. I'll invest more and buy a Lorex. Good review but I'm not sold on it. I have 3 Wyze V2 cams already they're OK nothing terrific. If I could only buy the cam for $20 OK but no you have to subscribe. I wouldn"t be surprised if your online data is being shared to a foreign communist country.
You have a lot of ambient light coming in from the side in these videos. I just tried a Wyze Floodlight which has V3 camera. The night vision is not good! Facial features are completely over exposed with color, with night mode, with the flood on, or off. It seems these cams work well in *LOW* light. But no light or night use with a spotlight has a lot of development needed
I like you comparisons of the Wyze Cam v3 versus the Wyze Cam Outdoor. The Wyze Cam Outdoor does not meet my present needs due to it’s limitatations I would to a some kind of mesh connection with the Wyze Base Station.
Wyze has stopped free person dectection , you had to subscribe a certain time but as a user and them having my email signed up already and using their cameras, it should have an automatic subscribe system, now I can't get it back. They have motion for free but everything is motion it cannot detect difference between people and things. Also the V2 we have outside doe not detect people on the driveway and the front door. I have talked to Wyze and they say they are sorry and if you want to fix your system or upgrade you have to sign up for a membership. The email they sent went into junk or one of those files because they sent alot of emails and my account just automatically took it as junk or advertisements. Also I don’t have the option for notifications anymore.
What is the maximum distance from the wifi router in the house will the V3 function? Would like to place in a barn to observe the horses.? Probably about 200 ft?
I have the wise cam outdoor and it works as advertised and serves my purposes. Excellent overall and even better with a cam plus subscription. I can’t use a wired cam, so the outdoor cam is a no brainer for the price and features.
Has the outdoor gotten any better? I have a use case for them, and it’s going to be them or Blink. I’d rather stay with Wyze as I’m already in that ecosystem.
This one was confusing. Motion alerts were first ~40 seconds with Cam Plus. Then they updated it, and it was ~4 seconds without a subscription. Then you left a note saying it was still 40 seconds? So did they just update their servers temporarily?

@@LifeHackster Oh I c. Wow, then that sounds a good deal. For many other similar product + price range their pic is NOT clear, so if V3 is so clear + also same price range under $20, that's a good deal. I put it on the waiting list now. Thx bro.
If referring to 5ghz on WiFi... some lower frequency waves perform better on 2.4ghz over longer distances. For 1080p using 2.4 ghz may be optimal in certain settings.
still waiting on mine, just got an email saying it is now shipping in december... I wonder how many people are getting the shipment or the email... when did you pre-order??
I picked up 5 of the v3’s and have been using them for 3 weeks now. The starlight sensor is a major improvement. One thing though I need to get is longer cables. Do you have any recommendations? I see a lot of them on Amazon but I’m sure there are some that are junk out there.

@@alexl932 These are version 3’s which are plugged in and have sd cards in each of them so they record continuously like the indoor version 2’s. I think the one your referring to is the Wyze outdoor which runs on a battery which I have on my front door. That one has a cool down period which I think is completely useless. One day it detected my flag blowing in the wind and recorded that but went into cool down and missed a package being delivered. The cool down can be adjusted to either 1, 3 or 5 minutes and I had mine set to 1 minute and still missed the motion.
Check your cool down settings and motion detection settings. If you have a lot of events being recorded your battery goes down faster. You can also setup a detection zone to reduce unwanted motion detection. That’s how I have mine setup and I get about 3 weeks of battery life. Hope that helps.
How do you get Notifications to pop up on your phone, like you got @ 11:57 in video? Tried everything in the menu, nothing makes that happen. Thank you.
Ordered 2 v3 last month and still waiting. I’ll probably still use my outdoor and v2 in different areas sound my home. Thanks. For the videos. Happy Holidays

yep
Thank you! I was about to spend $80 on the outdoor one but for that amount I can get two V3, they're $35 where I live.
Love your reviews!
Because of your review, I ordered the Wyze 3 cam. And, yes, I used your link.✌️
Awesome! Thank you!
I hope you get to review the new Wyze security system with door and motion sensors including door keypad
Good comparison video. Provides a lot of info on both. For me the one determining factor is that I am not able to run network cabling to the outside of my house.
Good review, I have both cameras and I agree with your findings... The V-3 is far better in several ways and lower coat...

Appreciate all your hard work
Thank you so much much for making this video, I’ve learned a lot of interesting things about the Wyze cam.
it doesn't make sense that the notifications are significantly faster on non-subscription plans.
It’s because of the AI, has to process footage to see if there’s a person
As what Daniel Than said... AI needs more time to process..but Wyze is looking on improving this.
Thank you! This was very helpful in trying to decide which low cost Security Camera to purchase!
Thank you.
Video Quality: Good
Night Vision: Good
Microphone: Potato
Great review! I am looking forward to a future update of the outdoor cam. Hopefully it will gain the same features as the v3.
Ha ha ha ha....when your ring motion detection went off...I was checking my phone!🤭🤣
Nice job...in comparing 👍🏻
Thank you again, based on your review I have decided on some of cameras I have. Appreciated. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don’t have to watch to agree. My v3 are coming. And the outdoors would go watching birds
Wyse cameras should have a mini-jack in the back that can connect to an optional external speaker that would be nice, cause their speakers are horrible.

I have have wyze 1st generation and I'm thinking of upgrading but u think wyze is coming out with a newer model?
Grateful for your informative videos.
Why do people keep saying it’s $20 it’s not $20 anymore it’s $32 on their app and Amazon
Can I use Wyze V3 without connecting it to Wifi. Just as a video recorder for when I am not at home (via sd card)?
Please show how to review videos/pictures saved on wyze cam outdoor! With not suscripción
i saw that wyze cam outdoor also can be connected to Wifi also ? is it right sir ?? I saw a video on youtube someone did that. in wyze app settings
It’s slow to show up because your not connected to the wifi
It looks like they took a page out of Eufy's book of crappy video compression ideas.

@@alexl932 Wyze did this because they want us to buy into their subscription service. But then again what do we expect for a $20 camera?
Can you use a solar panel to charge the outdoor Wyze and spotlight? I have no electrical power where I want to put the cameras.
Wyze doesn't recommend it because of no weatherproofing...but I'm pretty sure it will charge with micro-usb solar panels.
The microphone audio quality is very poor on the V3 when it's outside. Pretty disappointing. I seem to remember from your earlier video with the V3 indoors that it picked up your voice pretty well.
Where can I buy another cord, and wall piece for the V3, please??
Wyze 3 is better than outdoor cam
What do you think is better, the ring stick up cam plug in. or the new wyze cam v3? I currently have ring but was thinking about getting a wyze v3.
I might need to compare these 2.. I'll probably go with the Wyze V3 just for the price.
any plans to review the wyze vacuum or sprinkler controller?
I did order both and will see...
