Wyze Cam V3 vs Eufy Indoor Cam - Comparing Video & Audio Quality and Features

  • Today, we are going to compare the Wyze Cam V3 to the Eufy indoor camera. Eufy initially released 2K versions and also a regular and a pan and tilt versions. They did release a 1080P version lately and which I will also add to this comparison video. So, we are hitting 2 birds with one stone on this one. You will see the comparison as to video and audio quality between the Wyze Cam V3 and Eufy's 2K indoor camera but you will also see if there are any difference on Eufy's 1080p compared to their 2K version and see if the additional $10 dollars justifies buying the 2K version.

    Personal note for future reference:
    (As of the date of this video)
    3:11, Eufy 1080p's better audio clarity (Volume is higher on the 2K variant)
    9:53, Eufy's cloud storage is for motion events only
    9:59, Eufy's A.I. person and pet detection without a paywall
    10:56, Eufy does not have a mandatory cooldown period, you can set it to zero without a paywall
    11:38, Eufy has a faster motion-detected notification
    12:45, Wyze cam has a 5 minute cool down without cam plus subscription, or a ~15-20 second delayed motion-detected notification with cam plus subscription

    Great comparison! Love the Wyze v3 for the starlight sensor. I've done a number of time lapse videos of the night skies, both with the clouds and with the stars. And the fact that it is designed for outdoor use means I don't have to figure out how to shield it. One other thing (Wyze v3 vs. the outdoor cam - v3 is always generating internal heat, so the lens doesn't fog or frost up like the outdoor cam does in the cold) I will say the Eufy audio sounds much better than the Wyze. Now if Wyze increased the size of their sensor, they'd really have something :)

    Since the WYZE Cam V3 uses a pixel-based sensor (and not PIR), will it detect motion moving *straight* at it ... as opposed to PIR cameras which detect movement *across* the plane of the sensor?

    I was using a Wyze V1 camera pointed out my front window for person detection and it worked great. After Wyze announced a fee for person detection, I switched to the Eufy Indoor 2K. To date, Eufy has not picked up a single person detection alert. I think the issue is the glass window because if I use Eufy inside the house (not through glass), it picks up person detection just fine.
    Just an FYI for someone thinking of using the Eufy 2K Indoor cam pointing out a glass window. I'm not sure if the Eufy can be remedied for glass as my understanding is it uses PIR sensor for motion rather than pixel analysis.

The audio on the Eufy was more impressive, but how often will someone use the audio? The fact that the wyze can be used outdoors gives it an advantage.

    I chose the Eufy local storage ecosystem over Wyze, which really requires a subscription now vs. when I got one of their first cameras. Eufy sure has better recorded audio in your testing. Setting up Eufy to work with my Asus XT8 mesh router was a real pain, and Eufy's email support was clueless. My old Wyze camera was also unreliable on my upgraded WiFi and assume it didn't like WiFi 6 either. I'm using a 2K IndoorCam under a sheltered outside front porch since Eufy's 2K wired outdoor cameras are $100.

I currently have some low-end LaView brand wifi cameras for my baby monitors and they always freeze up or the app crashes. And I currently have a Skybell Trim Plus doorbell that I want to replace because it is terrible with motion detection. It'll alert with every little thing even kn the lowest settings. Also the app always says my Skybell is offline so it takes a minute to even open a notification or live view. And I am on 400mbs speed internet. Your videos had me on the fence between the Wyze v3 cameras but I hate that their doorbell hasn't been released yet. So I can't say that it'll be better then my Skybell.

    Nice work, but you missed an important distinction between the Wyze V3 and the Eufy Indoor cams by failing to show the video they capture in a very-low-light situation with night mode disabled - that is, no infrared, either emitting or detecting… just plain old daytime color mode. If you did this comparison, you would find that the Wyze V3's low-light sensitivity is *SO* good that the IR modes are practically unneeded. The Eufy cams are also surprisingly good in low light with all IR disabled, but their minimum-ambient-light threshold is higher than the Wyze - in other words, down to a certain darkness level, the Eufy and the Wyze V3 perform similarly, but the Wyze V3 can handle lighting even dimmer than that, whereas the Eufys cannot. However, that threshold level is low enough that the Eufys will work fine in no-IR mode in many cases where there's a source of ambient light in the area, such as a streetlight.

      I'll go with the Eufy just the reliability of the app... With the Wyze app..sometimes in the past the cameras will be unresponsive, I need to reboot some of them etc.. but with the Eufy, it is responsive everytime... except when their server went down.. which happened only twice since I have been using them...

    FYI, the Wyze Cam Google streaming issue has been figured out. Basically, the first time you ask it to stream a cam (called a cold start) google is marking the audio as 24 hours long and stalling out. If you instead ask google to stream it, stop google, then ask again within a few minutes, it's no longer a cold start, it's a warm start and the Wyze cam will now display reliably. Google is just spazzing out on it on cold start for some reason. Wyze said they are considering stopping audio until they resolve it (then it shows the first time), or possibly leaving it as warm start only until they fix it.

    Thanks for that! I have a Wyze v2 and a Eufy 2k side by side in my garage, and the Eufy is completely dark beyond 1 ft. I thought perhaps the Wyze was somehow interfering with the Eufy, but your video showed me that this couldn't be the reason. I'm thinking it must be defective after watching your video. I also have a Wyze and Eufy Pan cams, outdoors, encased in a plastic jar. The Eufy handles glare better, but otherwise not much difference.

    After watching the video, the fact that the Eufy cams support RTSP is a *BIG* selling point for me. That makes them more universally compatible in just about any setup VS the Wyze, IMHO. Also, the 2K seemed to have the best audio by far and a better enough video quality to justify the $40 price bump over the V3.

    IMO the 15 FPS on the Eufy is a deal breaker. I can see a lot of motion blur compare to the V3. I like higher frame rates rather than higher resolution, especially if the resolution is already 1080p. If the Eufy had 20 FPS, there would be no question that is the superior cam for video quality.

      yeah, you're the first comment mentioning this and I thought I was the only one that was experiencing the blur. The motion blur on the EUFY's look terrible. I can make out his face at 25ft on the Wyze and when he's walking but really can't on both EUFYs. Overall picture quality is clearer on the EUFY on the static stuff but when he's far away or walking, there's so much blur and ghosting. I have the WYZE v2 and I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that really haven't had any problems with it and since I was an early adopter, I get the free Plus membership. I only have 2 of them (so switching wouldn't be a big deal) and was thinking of moving to EUFY because it seems everyone has. But now I'm not sure if I can get over the blurring. I'd hate to have a burglar in my house and not have a clear pic of his face. More than likely, as in the video, my blinds would be closed and the blurring would be more apparent.

    Great videos! I picked up a Wyze V3 a few days ago and have it behind a double panned glass window. Night time recording is compromised due to reflections (camera is at an angle to cover the front door). What I mean by this is that I get recordings and alerts of internal movements because of reflections in the glass. No blinds or window covering, so adding blinds should help this issue at night.
    However, I am not very happy with the notification delay with the Wyze V3. It might come within 60 seconds, or it could be 10 minutes later. I’ve left the house to go to the store and get an alert in the store of the camera picking up the motion of me leaving some minutes earlier.
    I’m considering picking up a Eufy 2k to try out, but have read other reviews that have caught the Eufy phoning home to a Chinese server. That doesn’t give me much comfort either.
    I’ve considered a doorbell camera but my current doorbell is mounted on a 1 inch wide surface of the front door surround and without making some type of custom mount, I’m not aware of any doorbell camera that will fit there.
    I’ve not noticed any of your tests that report on security of these cams as regards hidden reporting to foreign servers. Is this of concern to you? I’m not sure if there are any options that don’t do this, but Eufy is the only one I’ve seen reported to do so.

      Ah, both Wyze and Eufy are more than happy to give your data to the CCP and other international intelligence.
      I'd say it's a wash.
      Otherwise, Eufy's 1080p indoor cam's value proposition is very good. Zero second cooldown after a motion-detected recording, fast motion alerts, 24/7 continuous live recording, and better audio clarity than the 2k variant.

      Over the past year my V3 and also a cam pan v2 I picked up are pretty consistent with 20 second delays on the alerts. Apparently that’s due to Wyze losing their license to use XnorAI on cam AI when Apple bought them. So Wyze had to move the detection algorithm to the cloud inducing the delay.

    Wyze Starlight sensor makes it worth it over Eufy! Night time without IR is amazing on Wyze, which wasn't shown in this review. Also, most cameras are comparible in daylight, it's the night time that matters and when theft occures

    • @LifeHackster
      @LifeHackster  2 роки тому

      Starlight sensor in an indoor setup is not really effective. Inside the house there are only 2 situations...either somebody will turn the light ON or OFF (with flashlights) on either situations, more than likely both cameras will be in night vision black and white mode even the Wyze. The only effective use of a starlight sensor is for outside which I've shown in my other videos when there is some ambient light. Also, remember even when outside with a starlight sensor, more than likely the footage of a moving object will be blurry.

    Framerate on the Eufy seems a lot worse. Plus you are forced to keep it into 1080 with HomeKit, so might as well buy the Wyze with better night, and better framerate if you don't care about homekit. Audio is the only thing going about the Eufy. Eufy also seems less colorful than the Wyze, but a bit sharper with some pixelation going on around motion. Wyze is a little more blurry but seems more consistent.
    I bought both to compare, and had the same results as you camera too. I can see why others would choose Eufy over the Wyze - but framerate matters to me when I'm monitoring my birds breathing for one with health issues. Thanks for the comparison!
