Thank You. I appreciate it.
Which I put it a wise canvo inside my kitty's room so I can watch my kitty with the white canvas with my echo show
Did you heard of it you can link all cameras to Ring app and did you know you can send any video from ring on UA-cam well the wise LED light cam I put it in echo flex spots which I put it which I put in an echoplex light of my on the top of my on my wife's cam V2 anyway it's outside and staying there and I have pumpkins new bedroom and message me back or call me which
How are you doing all my cameras the live cam V2 is doing all right with my kitty loves being safe from the camera but she's always scared of it and when I can watch my kitty with the wyze cam V2 and I UA-cam all kinds of times even though I have a wife can be too and guess what I put in the echo flex's night light on the top of my wife's cam V2 and then mount it outside my dad helped me or if you did not message me back I'm going to stretch my legs
Did you heard of wise car you can put a wife can V2 on the top of a remote control car and then you can drive your car all around and that's so funny hahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For the price, wyze is a great choice. The light is a lot brighter than I thought it would be. I do think the next generation will have a built in light as well as the other manufacturers putting in their own lights. That is what got me to buy the Lorex 4k cameras. The lights act as a deterrent for anyone up to no good. Thanks again and stay warm!
Thank you.
Another great LifeHackster video! You always do the most precision testing, yet make it practical, interesting and understandable! Of all the home automation videos I watch, yours is one of the few I look forward to the most!
I concur.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Another excellent and informative video. I watched another Wyze spotlight video where the knucklehead reviewed it in his garage WITH DAYLIGHT COMING THROUGH THE DOOR AND WINDOWS.
Congratulations on reaching 100K. I am right behind you!
Only 99,878 to go!
@@joshx413 You didn't make it 99,877? :(
Thank You.
I really appreciate you sharing new product reviews. It helps me stay current with this growing camera business.
Looks like wyze listens pretty well to the feedback given the fact that they have just launched a wyze cam v3 pro with spotlight integrated with the camera. Good review and good feedback !!
I actually bought this. It works great but not needed for outdoor because of how great the v3 is (starlight sensor) now as a motion light it works as intended
But like what Lifehackster says, it's a deterrent to would-be thieves to know that they're under surveillance and the property owner has been notified of their presence.
Michael Hughes I agree also believe the siren plays a big part in that as well!
@@Its_Lance_omg -- Unfortunately, I have three Wyze Cam V3s and motion *does not* trigger the siren in any of them. I have a support ticket ongoing with Wyze about this. Several other people on the Wyze forums have complained about the same thing.
cameraz99 ahh ok please keep us posted
@@cameraz99 ever get the siren thing fixed? Mine don’t turn on with motion detected??
Thank you (comments) Set up a rule and it worked! Sirens on motion
GREAT! GREAT video. You have been shared with a ton of friends and family. True patriot. Thank you.
Enjoyed your review of the spotlight accessory for the Wyze 3....Waze just sent me an email that now combines the cameraV3 with the spotlight. So I would very interested in your review. Once again, you review is EXCELLENT!! And I will more than likely purchase the combined cameraV3 and spotlight. Thanks again for your thorough - and professional - review.
I have to check it out. Thanks.
best security camera reviewer period
Great review! I bought one v3 by itself to see if I liked it, and I did, so now ordering a couple more with the spotlight. In my area, there has been several thefts of cars, or items left in cars, in people's driveway, and the thieves absolutely know the camera is there, and just a motion light turning on doesn't seem to bother some. I made a rule for my current v3 cam that it make the audible alarm sound, for a very specific area where my truck is parked, and only from midnight to daybreak, I was hoping this light attachment had a strobe effect or flash setting, to make a would be thief that much more uncomfortable when deciding to continue breaking in to my vehicle. Maybe it's something they'll add on a future software update, thanks again!
Now I have to wait for Wyze to get some V3 cameras in stock.
Great review. I just bought one. Your video sold me.
I just got this cam and this was a really great review! Thanks so much!
By far, you make the best Wyze product reviews. I was originally planning on purchasing the Wyze floodlight, but this looks like a better option. The floodlight seems overkill when it comes to brightness.
Thanks been watching your videos for awhile! Thanks again for sharing this with us 😊😊Lots of Love Bobbi 😇
You are so welcome
Hi, thank you for all the reviews that have been submitted. I beg to add the number plate reading test to the nighttime test from various distances and in moving positions as you do the daytime test. thank you
I like your reviews as they show it from both day / night and from various distances.
As for whether cameras should be visible or hidden.... I think there should be hidden ones at gates / fences so you get a good look at their mug before they enter the property. Once they reach the window / door then visible is good as it deters them from taking any further action. At that point they can just pretend they are lost and looking for directions.
The camera quality had a lot of noise which makes me think it is not that good. I understand it is on wifi and probably only a 640 x 480 or 720 x 480 sensor . My hikvision hard wired cameras certainly do a better job and can be still viewed online if required.
Review wyze cam outdoor again, It got custom motion zones ( with beta app at least ) and the notifications are wayyyy faster.
True. I’m using it right now and liking it !
I will.. I have to check it out again...
I have no idea what they did with the recent updates, but my wireless cameras seem to stay charged twice as long now 👍
I don’t like the messy cable design. Will wait for integration version later!
Very well made review and video quality. Keep up the good work man looks good. 👌
Thanks for your review video, always helpful, i like the way you make your point, always neutral, and congratulations for reaching the 100K, you are one of the best, honest and with good knowledge youtuber tech reviewer.
Thank you so much 🙂
You had a flying orb 5:56. Great review.
Hey Looks better for outside use. Excellent update video
Thank you.
Great video...thanks.
Hi just waiting for my wyze spotlight to be delivered to me on the UK our postal service Royal Mail in the UK have received it now waiting to be delivered to me it’s nice people like me have American address Wyze can deliver they products to then get shipped to the UK I do have 3 Wyze V3 cameras I was one of the people who pre-ordered them love the wyze doorbell and the headphones and the thermostat pre-ordered the wyze Watch and the Wyze Home Monitoring I went for the Annual subscription really got for free keep up the good work I never miss any of your video’s
Thank you Giovanni... still waiting for the wyze doorbell..
If only Wyze could get their cameras back in stock. I’m waiting on the doorbell
Check home depot. They usually have Wyze products in stock.
Love your videos! I bought the reolink altos 3 because of you. FYI you have a spirit orb pass over you starting at 5:59 mins.
It’s 5:55 I apologize *
I used the power dongle to daisy chain power for 2 V3 cameras... ✌
Well done on your 100k subscribers
Thank you so much 😀
I just bought one today hope it works well koya 🤣👍
Solid review as usual!
I wonder when they are going to update the zone detection, what they have now (on Wyze v3) is horrible. I read that the v2 an the other outdoor cam received the update. It makes no sense to me that the new camera has not received it yet.
I know.. and they did have it when I first reviewed this camera (beta firmware) together with their HD max setting..I'm hoping they will add and update it soon.
Awesome review. cant wait to receive my add on spotlights……da best ka talaga kabayan…..from MD
Salamat...
Another great video as always. The one thing I noticed is that the audio quality seem to be very poor.
Didn’t see much difference between the “Low/High” settings of the spotlight when used inside of ur home. But I like what it does outdoors. I just received my v3’s, so maybe I’ll try one of those spotlights (or 2). Thanks for the Vid! 🤙🏼
Thank you.
Still waiting to be notified when the V3 becomes available. Thought that was supposed to be in January 2021.
i’m pretty sure they were already out a few weeks ago because i know they had 2 different prices for it. One was like $34 and the other was like $24 if you have a cam plus subscription. But I guess it’s so old
They were available, i bought 3, they will be available again soon, they always announce it. Do you have them in twitter? And do you have Cam Plus ?
@@OhhInk One with the spotlight, the other one without. And yes they were up just for around 1 week or less, they will put more inventory soon they said.
@@ch0lito
Looking to buy my first. Don’t know what cam plus is. I don’t follow Twitter, but had my email registered with Wyze to be notified when available.
@@speedlever cam plus is a subscription that they sell you to give you a few more options, I am not going to write all of them in details, but for the price, is worth... Also, by being a cam plus subscriber is like you are Wyze Premium member, when they have inventory of the camera (I said camera because is the only device I use from them, don't know if it will be the same with the other devices), since you are a Cam Plus subscriber, they will let you have access to the inventory 1st, before anyone who isn't cam plus subscriber, I don't know if you get the idea.
It worth? I will say no, at least not for outside... it give this upper bright "aura" on the video.🤷🏻♂️
I will say just with my V3 without it.
Nice video simple and on point! 💪🏻
Great vid
Hi LIfeHackster,
Thank you very much for your excellent and honest review. I always enjoy your review and in fact I depend a lot of your reviews for my purchase.
I wonder if you can make a review of the new Wyze Lamp Socket (for Wyze V3)?
Thanks again.
I do not like the picture quality of the camera? but I think it can be used in a location where you only want to monitor without the need for great details.
The camera is $20 what are you expecting lol
This would be best for indoors
This is so helpful
Wyze should just go ahead and make v4 that includes spotlight and has 2K or 4K video when we are having chip shortage
I Agree, I rather prevent than lament.
Watched your review for the cam itself to know whether it was worth it, then found out it had a spotlight kit and wanted a video demo and figured the first result would be you. If that don’t say how on this you are, nothing will lmao
How has the wifi connection been for you? Now that it’s been a few months? Thanks!! Great reviews!
Take the broken cable, (exposed colored wires), and throw it away. Plug what's left into the camera.
Why do you need to pay out for a light that's really unnecessary?? Just turn off night vision mode in the advanced settings and that implements the Starlight sensor. There's barely any ambient light in our back yard, and the results just look like daytime outdoors even at 1 in the morning.
Moving objects are usually a blur on starlight night vision.
The camera interface and everything is so good but I just wish the quality was a littke bit better. I'd honestly be willing to pay higher prices for a better quality camera
Do you know if v3 have built in bridge , to pair up the Wyze door sensors?
Not with the V3.
I think I would rather get the new Wyze Floodlight Camera that just came out recently
I have Wyze ver 2 pointed outside and smack into the window. I dont have lights outside. My drawback is at night. I wonder if this light would help? I will give it a try. Thanks.
Great video. Did you notice the static sound? Mine also has it even the pan and v2.
crazy question given there's no battery inside: do you think they'll come out with a solar panel to power this?
great review as always, yo...
Still waiting in line for v3 to be in stock
Can you move the camera with the app? i mean can you look left & right with it? Or just when it detects movement? Or just stays were you leave it?
Random question . What size is you lot ? Or your back yard it kooks to be a good size .
We are purchasing a house and the back yard should be 36’ from back of house to back fence ..
7200 sqft lot
Just curious
I'm going to mount the camera to the soffit (so that it's upside down) and then rotate the image 180 degrees. So should I mount the spotlight on top of the camera or on the bottom of the camera when it's inverted? Thank you for your advice.
Any recommendations on longer cables running from the power adapter to the camera for mounting the camera farther away from a power outlet? Maybe something I can purchase on Amazon.
Yes you can get on Amazon, I have three I’m about to install.
search on Amazon for "wyze v3 25 foot cable"
I got two cables and they work fine
The audio on the Wyze cams trigger me every time I hear them.
They need to improve it.
After this review I have decided to go with a ring camera. I need to know the detected motion range of the ring cameras. I require between 20 to 30 feet. This info is a deal breaker. I am a new subscriber and appreciate your videos very much
How you doing I just came across your Channel I have wired security cameras and recently I'm coming across the lights turn on at night and I can't see anything I tried to put grey duct tape on it but I'm still seeing the lights in the window what can I do
Curious if you tested if it makes a difference if the light was in the front of the camera like you did vs pushed back to the rear so it wouldn’t reflect off the camera lens?
If money was not an issue or monthly subscription which camera would you consider buying .
Wireless cameras only ?
Tia...
I was thinking about getting Arlo pro3 or pro 4 , what do you think ¿
Wired is a better option if you have access to power... Also, I'll go with Ring or Eufy.
I tried to wait for wyze v3 to come back in stock. But I ended up scoring a deal on two individual eufy cam 2c kits four cameras two base stations for $380 shipped. Don't know what I'm going to do with the extra base station.
Cool.. I know.. Eufy need to work on integration so that you can use the other base station as an extender..
wow, the price went up pretty significantly. It's $16+ now vs what u shown of $9.99
The price in the store now shows total with shipping.
Hi again I was wondering have you had any problems with your Wyze Spotlight because I had my for 2 weeks yesterday if was working tonight it not working at all yesterday we did have heavy rain 🌧 yesterday went on V3 camera for car park the logo for the spotlight wasn’t they
I have a question ok I tried to put my Wi-Fi and and it's not picking it up so what do I do now I try it again it's doing the same thing I put a router on it and it's still doing the same thing so what am I doing wrong and if I can't get it to work for me what can I do about this.
Greetings from Brazil. Would you know if this Wyze V3 camera is compatible to use it with DVR or NVR? If not, it supports memory card up to how many gigs?
Saudações do Brasil. Saberia dizer se essa câmera Wyze V3 tem compatibilidade para usá-la com DVR ou NVR? Caso não, ela suporta cartão de memória de até quantos gigas?
I love Wyze but they need to fix the audio.
Thanks.
You're welcome
Do you think this spotlight addon will work with the new wyze cam lamp socket?
As we get closer to $45 you might as well get the amcrest 5mp Turret with a true low light sensor and a microphone.
which one? link?
I wish they would've released a spotlight like this but with infrared leds instead of an actual light...
the camera itself has some infrared leds built in
@@BradiKal61 yes but I'm talking about adding more IR for even better night vision
Will you be doing the new Wyze night light 3 pack?
Does the spot light turn on by any motion in V3 without Cam Plus subscription?
Can the spotlight be mounted on the bottom or side of the camera?
Our sound is not that good outside, any recommendations?
Anyone else having trouble with the spotlight not being controlled anymore? Mine just stays on and it's hasn't even been outside yet. Firmware broke it or worthless splitter cable?
Great vid... The audio is terrible on the camera...I prefer the Eufy .
Do you know when Wyze cam V3 available on Amazon? Give us a link to buy them?
It would have been nice to know at what distance the spotlight turns on, and if there a difference between the high and low settings. Also how much it assists you to see as a standalone light.
It get triggered when the camera senses motion (pixel based) so depending on the sensitivity you set, you can set it to trigger to any movement in the camera's FOV. The spotlight is only 70 lumens, not really that bright to be a standalone light.
@@LifeHackster thank you 😁
Hi, which security camara (spotlight)do you suggest cold -3and hot 🔥 temperatures 115. Thank you
Reolink Lumus, but 14 F to 122 F is its range. The speed that the app shows live view really impresses me every time compared to my other security camera brands.
Wired spotlight cameras like what Michael said (Reolink Lumus) or the EZVIZ C3X
Hi LifeHackster, I just had a question! If I wanted a security camera system that is wire-free and has a good battery life which system would you recommend (should also be somewhat affordable) I am debating between the eufy 1 and eufy e, any ideas? Also it is preferable if the company has a smart doorbell! Thanks so much :)
Get ring it’s better
@@Owen-tu7lj get Ring if you want to pay a subscription.
I wanted to avoid Ring because of privacy concerns and the subscription, and I like the eufy cam 1 and e cause the sd card local storage!
@@dabestpilot4157 just curious, what privacy concerns?
@@Resist4 Ring had some issues with not secure servers I think, and that their staff can look at the footage and live view, and also apparently they were selling the footage to private police companies. They also apparently get your IP from the app and somehow collect advert info, amazon is really just squeezing money out of people. Not sure of this, but it is what I heard and read about.
I can't install the app. When I try it goes back to "install" :(
hi led light Include or buy separately,v3 or v2 which one better
What was that flying towards the camera at around 5:58 in the video???
Dust...
I guess this wouldn't be a good option for v3s facing outside from a window
No, for that the best idea will be to use "outdoor ir lights" , this won't bright like white but will improve the quality a lot, but to install them on the exterior where do you want to have a better vision.
you should just use starlight and turn IR off. (IR light will reflect off the glass) you basically don't want any light from inside reflecting off the glass and making the glass into a mirror... aka camera looking at a mirror, recording itself.
Nope but you can install motion solar lights outside the window which I did made a video a while back -> ua-cam.com/video/r9dYklsk3qs/v-deo.html
The night vision looks better than the light.
Would this combo work inside, pointing out through a window? (Saw your video on setting up the V3 with a light affixed above it on the window.)
I think the spotlight will reflect on the glass and cause glare.
I bought one just to try it out. Works great for indoors, not so good for outdoors. I think it’s overpriced especially when you factor in the expensive Wyze shipping cost. I most likely won’t buy anymore of these. I also don’t like that Wyze didn’t clean up the cable and that they’re still using micro USB.
What other company sells a security camera for 20 bucks, plus 5 bucks shipping? And you don't have to pay for a base station! And I love that you can place the camera *inside* a window and still capture motion, and that it will alert me if my smoke detector goes off. Overpriced? Hardly.
@@cameraz99 I wasn’t talking about their cameras, I was talking about their $10 Spotlight kit. But any camera can be placed behind a window and pick up motion, as long as it doesn’t use a PIR motion sensor. And others will alert you to sounds, like a smoke detector.
@@cameraz99 most of the people are very picky and want everything with the best quality but want to pay cheap prices... Not also with the best quality, also with long term warranty...
There are others that offer this same option but they don't want those, they want this but with their specific customization...
Between the wyze v3 and the reolink argus 3 which would you recommend
will it work on the older wyze version 2 camera?
How do I setup the v3? Where do I plug it?
I guess this won't work for v2 cameras?
What can I do about my audio on the wyze can v3? The sound is not clear. Sounds like something is covering the microphone. Please help.
We are having the same problem. Did you figure something out?
@@LauraWagner-gy4xz no... I just leave it be.... You can hear.... But it's not clear.
Tye v3 model was dubbed as a better low light camera but seems still needs a lot of light.
