  • Wyze finally released their Wyze Cam Version 3. They improve almost everything on their V2 except for the price... which this camera will still be $19.99 or ~ $26 bucks delivered. Here are the specs:
    1080P HD Max - you have to check out the sample footage on this one
    IP65 Weather Resistant
    Starlight Sensor for Color Night Vision
    It has a Siren
    Records in 20 FPS in daytime; 15 FPS at night
    And all the other features that you loved on the Wyze Cam V2 is still in the camera like micro SD card for subscription free motion and 24/7 recording, Sound, Smoke and CO2 alarm alerts, Time Lapse etc.
    There is one feature that it inherited with their failed WCO... :) but Wyze promised to improved... so check the video out....

    Great review. This is my fifth Wyze cam and it performs flawlessly. I am pleased with this whole system. It started off as just a wildlife cam for me. It still works great for that. Then my wife wanted me to look into something for security. Since I was familiar with Wyze I thought why not. Now she loves it. Easy to use and install. I hooked up the V.3 and the hardest part was installing an outlet in the garage to power this. That was not hard, I just had to knock a couple of holes in the wall to do it. After patching up the sheetrock this is good to go. 👍👍

    I’ve been a “Wyze Guy” from the beginning. Bought four of these to replace the v2 and installed one outside in the weather where it would be exposed to rain, sun etc for testing. It only lasted 4 months before water made its way in through the rear. I notified Wyze and they replaced it for free. It’s a decent cam, but don’t expect it to last long in the weather. Not really an IP65 rating. If you want something truly waterproof that will work outdoors, get a blink camera for those places where you need true weather proof ability. I’ve had three out doors for several years, they work great!

      And without the subscription for continuous cloud recording or a MicroSD card, it will record 12 second clips to the cloud for free, then the “cool down period” means it won’t record if triggered for 5 minutes (incentive to buy the subscription: but $15/camera for a full year of continuous (every second) cloud recording without “cool down” time or a MicroSD, sounds more than fair to me!
