You're S-tier. So many people make reviewing products look impossible while you make it look easy. Thank you.
I painted mine to match the house with a light coat spray paint ! She came out absolutely perfect and is almost undetectable at a glance
dont assume Wyze Cam Pan V3s gender.
id rather use a more visible camera as a deterent
@@adeverel 🤣🤣🤣
you want them to be visible or thieves will not stop
@@nobytes2 yeah I never got this. I literally added a red LED up my old wyze cam. I don't want to capture grainy footage of my house or car getting robbed... To give to police who won't do much to investigate. I want the camera to be seen and to be a deterrent.
Now see these are the kind of reviews I'm looking for. Thank you
One of the best rea-life reviews on UA-cam for this camera, thanks I bought one today.
Wyze improved the audio recording quality! This is AWESOME!! Ordering now!
I've been using Wyze for over a year now and I'm super happy with it. I'm looking to buy this one in the next couple of days. Thanks for the video!
do you need subscription for it?
Thank you for this in depth review! You’re seriously one of the best reviewers.
IF WYZE had a 2K camera that panned and actual Video Encryption with their paid servers on the subscription plan I would buy one. 1080P is yesterdays cameras.
Im so excited about this. I was looking at buying some Pan 2s for my apartment. But the Pan 3s look so much more better imo. And they look like a nice upgrade too over them
I have 3 and they are fantastic!
It’s not I would just wait until they come out with the better version
For the price, I can't complain. Decent enough resolution to identify license plates immediately in front of it, pans fast enough to track moving vehicles, pretty decent dynamic range. My one complaint it that while it pans while tracking, it doesn't seem to tilt as well. So when it places a bounding box around a detected motion subject, it often loses it because it doesn't tilt to reposition that box in the center of the frame.
I really need to stop watching reviews AFTER I buy things haha but still looking forward to it, thanks for the info
Thank you for going through the camera. Anyone who says you talk to fast can slow down the playback speed lol 👍🏼
Living in the absolute middle of bear/moose country, this cam helps me out ALOT! Installed it a week ago and already got me some wildlife footage
Mentioned in the Official FB group today, keep an eye out next week for a potential release of a Pan Cam V3 PRO...
I think I'm the wise website they already list the V3 pro but say that it's not in stock.
Still waiting😂😂
Seriously Ring please just do something like this
Big Wyze fan here, currently using 3 older cams, including 2 P&T. Having said that, after seeing the image quality of 2K cameras it's hard to justify buying lower resolution Wyze cams, even at their low price, when 2K cameras aren't that expensive nowadays.
Wyze brought me to this channel 3 years ago. Wyze has brought me back again.
@iam1ee...Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to say that I enjoyed all the great content you created.
A proper no basis evaluation of products gives us as end user tones of value
I have bought this wyze camera because of this video and just wanted to share it is working great. It survived -35°C although it stopped working but back to action on its own when the weather warmed up to -20°C. Good stuff
Is it blurry?
@@beverlycharles6534 so far image quality is good enough for normal usage. I am riding on the free set up without subscription so no really enjoying the full benefit of the cameras but serves what I need already
THANK YOU! you make my decisions much easier. I have looked at other people reviewing products....and ...well they are horrible. You give detailed and forthright reviews. You leave nothing unanswered. And I love how you take each camera thru the same test so it makes it easier to compare. Great Job!
Went straight to your channel after I got the email !!!!
:) Thanks for watching!
I have been a Wyze customer since late 2018, I own quite a bit of Wyze product, They producing great product at super great prices. I recently purchased the Wyze Pan Cam V3, It performs great only one kickback and I do not understand why they would want to remove the option from its normal place. When reviewing an event they removed the playback option and now you have to take extra steps to review playback event, to me It is not a very good option. Please put it back the way it is the other product. Thank you again. I Appreciate Wyze Cam very much...
very helpful review your wyze v3 review was what sold me to the wyze cam v3 now im about to buy this new v3 pan to use for my dogs :))) great review as always! keep making amazing contents
Greetings and Happy New Year from Torrance! At first I was really excited about this product, but the image quality and motion blur was hard to get over. But, I do see this as being a visual deterrent for your house. I noticed that people don't notice cameras unless they are looking or paying attention. Because this is moving and making a slight noise, potential burglars might get nervous knowing something is tracking their movement. We all get a little nervous if we think we are being followed. This would make a great deterrent. Thanks again for all of your hard work!
@paulmiyagishima7655...Thanks for watching!
The motion blur is in all of the Wyze cameras, and mostly due to the low frame rate. But I doubt the slight sound would deter anyone and if a criminal saw it then they would take or destroy the camera. No criminal on the planet would get nervous of a camera if their identity is shielded when wearing a mask.
@@Resist4 I have to agree with you. I know in the San Francisco area, car break ins are so common, there is no fear of getting caught or identified. Its all being done in broad daylight. I tell people to try to position their cameras to try to catch license plates. It won't get their stuff back, but maybe the police could put an APB out for the car. Its reached a point that criminals aren't even worried anymore.
@@paulmiyagishima7655 And the criminals know they will be back on the streets in a day. It's a joke.
@@Resist4 While I do agree with most of what you said, we did get a meth head off the street (albeit temporarily) with one of these cams. I knew he was stealing from the outdoor storage of my house, and loitering inside the car port, but the police wouldn't/couldn't do anything unless I proved it.
Put out one of my old Wyze cams on a whim, and a few days later I got a nice clear video sent to my phone of the guy walking into my carport, noticing the camera blink at him, staring at it for a few seconds, then picking it up and stealing it. It was a lovely, full view of his face as he walked over and picked it up. Dude thought that if he stole it, no one would be the wiser. 😂 I never got my camera back, but the cops picked him up for theft of the cam (I live in Florida, so they still do that here), and he ended up having a good bit of meth on his person at the time, so that helped bump up his charges.
I was gonna ask you to do a review on this and bam there it is ! I think for the price point vs feature this thing is killer ! they can do updates later to improve picture quality and tracking and setting zones . for the price ill pick one up and play with it.. and the sound quality seems better ! I also like the design.. My fav type of camera is Ptz With auto tracking and this hits on all buttons for me for the price of dinner..
@Rockaland2...Thanks for watching!
@LifeHackster Do I need to buy the wyze outdoor power adapter to use this outdoors? I'm thinking of putting one at the end of my driveway/house
I have 3 of them and just love them! Great quality video and the pan feature is fantastic!😁👍🏻
do they charge a subscription?
@@miketlane yes or buy SD card . They are great cameras!
Great review!. I been using Wyze cameras since 2018. I love them. I hated the Wyze Cam v2 though. Too big and difficult to install in tight places. This version looks more stylish, smaller and easier to install in tight spots. Bought one today to replace my Wyze Pan v2. It should be arriving in the mail in 2 days. Can't wait to play with this new toy. Will use it to track and scare away stray animals entering my yard.
I don't think it has a competitor on that price.... With that features!!
Also, love your energy on the video!
Wish you a great day! (thanks for the review)
Thanks for watching!
Always coming to you for reviews my dude! Keep up the great work
Thank you so much for your comprehensive review! Most reviewers don't include how to install. You nailed it! Quick question though.... Can you still receive motion detection alerts to your phone without the subscription service and with only the SD card?
You give honest and straightforward reviews. House looked like fort Knox with cams everywhere. Have to agree, the tracking was a deal breaker for me. Seemed blurry.
What does the subscription run a month?
Awesome review again. Just saw it available today & placed & order for one. After seeing your review, I'm sure I will not regret it, especially for the price. Thanks again. Definitely a 👍.
@mistermichael9753...Thanks for watching!
Always apreciate you reviews and your dedications to it, salute from Italy🙏
WOW! I was going to say the artifacting is horrible when the camera moves. Hope they can fix this with an updated firmware. Also 1080p come on WYZE seems like your still stuck in the early 2000's
The price is stuck in 2040 though.
Wyze rarely pushes and update that fixes anything. Their updates tend to be 1 step forward and 2 steps backward. I have 8 Wyze cams as well as their poorly functioning bulbs and still waiting for some kind of update that would fix connectivity issues.
It's like 40 dollars...
If they made this with 2k video quality, I would buy in an instant!
Thanks for your review! It was very informative. More so than most reviews...
I watched at 75% playback speed and that seemed great!
Thanks for the video. I've got several Wyze cameras outdoors and have always thought it would be nice to have pan/tilt too. However, one thing I've noticed about Wyze is that they are using the razor blade marketing model...make all the profit on the consumables (in this case Cam Plus). I don't want my cam to be tethered to my wallet so it would be helpful to see this same review for the camera's usefulness without the Cam Plus subscription. Keep up the good work.
It is doable without subscription because of the local recording and it tags person events like the V3 PRO. Now, it will be limited to 5 minute notification cool off though... So, if notifications are not that important, then this should work fine without subscription.
Don't be cheap... you can't pay $2 a month for security? 15 years ago it was $120/month for CCTV systems that costed $3k.
Thanks for taking time to make the video. Relatively inexpensive price considering what you’re getting. Can greatly help with child monitoring inside my home greatly.
This is what Ring need to introduce.
And Eufy!
I want wyze to make a solar/battery power supply for their cams. This thing is definitely my next purchase from them. Love that company.
So that I don’t have to install a wired plug outlet they have solar power panels that have the usb I can connect to instead? If so can you send me a link please to purchase the solar panel. Thank you. I just can’t afford an electrician to come out and install all the electrical outlets needed outside. Thank you.
@@diannepierce936 Wyze already makes their own solar panel to keep their cameras going independently, but don't know if this is one of them, search on UA-cam for it.
If they had just added a little floodlight this model would be an awesome outdoor camera. If I were WYZE, I'd make their next "floodlight pro v2" model have similar motion tracking capabilities as this one. It's a no-brainer
nice camera that tracks for the price. nice view of clouds and moon in B/W mode
@TwoFeatherChannel...Thanks for watching!
I got one as a nursery cam and it's nice to be able to do pip pip on my prime TV so I can watch the nursery while I enjoy a movie.
I'd love to see an actual POE version - that would be a real pro version.
Reolink has some pretty awesome POE security cams that aren't too expensive.
@@bobbif100 True that
You can DIY it for POE. I've done three V3's and this will be my next project.
It’s in 1080p but i think it’s still a great bang for your buck camera…..thanks for the info LH….
@BIG_DRU...Thanks for watching!
Mine just arrived today 2/5/23 and after asking for an update it took 10 minutes and failed. Camera got very hot and my SanDisk SD card burnt inside. The SD card got burnt from the bottom only, everything seems working now besides SD slot out of commission.
Yohhh just subscribed and liked due to such an AMAZING VIDEO just ordered 3! Super excited keep up the content!
Awesome! Thank you!
Just bought two of them. They're gonna be my wildlife cams :)
I noticed though that Wyze's animal detection is not that reliable compared to others that I have tested. They need to be pretty close to get identified.
@@LifeHackster i use v3's to keep track of wild rabbits and chipmunks and they sometimes get detected as pets, and if too close to the camera, as persons. lol
@@LifeHackster Which cameras have you noticed do a good job of detecting animals? We have both Ring and Eufy around our farm, and get notifications of "people" (our livestock, usually horses, but sometimes goats) all the time. 😂
Great review! Thank you! ✨
So beautiful!❤
The audio has too much lag which I also see with my Wyze 2 when speaking or listening. Also if you do not want to have the subscription you have to rely on the SD card and the Wyze playback function which does not work very well when you try to locate an even and play it back. The price is great so I guess these are things you have to put up with. When I use to install access control and CCTV when in my younger years about 20 years ago our equipment even back then made this look acient, but it was professional equipment.
Interesting design. Looks cleaner than the original.
Wow this camera looks great. This camera looks like it is “hackable” where you could use some double sided tape to hook up a Wyze telephoto camera on one side of the pan v3. This way you could really catch some license plates of cars in the front of your house. Do you think you could try this out?
Excellent demo of this camera. Thanks
It would be great if it had the option for a battery and solar charger. I say this because the power outlets in my garage are far from the garage door.
You can do that.
Super in depth great review . Very informative.thank you
Great video @LifeHackster one of the few video reviews of cameras where the person reviewing actually does some USEFUL tests on video quality and license plate visibility. GREAT job, wish you all the success going forward with your channel! You deserve lots more subscribers :) As for the camera, I'm a little underwhelmed at the quality at distance - if only they could make a 4k60 wyze cam pan :D
Great video I'm kind of late but I think it would be great to get an old license plate to hold up instead. That would be an awesome benchmark
this is great for the corner of the house to see 2 sides. plus I can neb the neighborhood lol
Thanks for the video. Which cam do you recommend quality wise? I don’t care about price
Video quality wise, check out IP/NVR cameras from Dahua or Hikvision but what I have been using are from Reolink and you can see videos of it in my channel.
Here in Appalachia almost everyone is dirt poor so burglars here are so desperate they do not mind at all being recognised. The extra daunting deterrence this cam's motion engenders is worth more than good video quality for our the needs of our village. Burg'lars spot the slightly movement or sound & go to the next house.
Not having a dedicated home position kinda sucks and I’m not sure I understand the workaround you came up with. Hope to see a comparison of the old Wyze Pan as I’ve had great success with use their regular cams outdoors.
I thought if you set up the detection zone it returns to the default position like the pan V2?
You just have to turn on motion zones on the position that you want to set the home position..
Does it zoomed closer than the v3?
Similar question I asked before on the Eufy S220, how many people can use the App on the same camera. And what happens if there is more than one target?
Thank you again for another detailed review! I just set up a bunch of Wyze v3 that I got from Home Depot 2 for $35, but am thinking of whether I could put one of these to use! Traditionally the Wyze app has been slower and less reliable than Eufy for connecting to cameras, but there seem to be improvements in the latest update.
Keep in mind these new Wyze cams including the V3 pro require cam plus you. No longer get 12 sec event recordings without it. I ended up returning 4 v3 pros and almost ordered the new pan but luckily the Wyze checkout was having issues again so I had time to reconsider. Good luck
@@RetiredRich I understand; the free clips were nice. People still have the option of using a microSD card for continuous recording
Thanks for watching!
@@LifeHackster liver you're detailed reviews. I ended up with two reolink trail mix Poe because off you. Lol
Put a micro SD card an it will record constantly I have 256gb in there and I can view months apon months back. Every sound every moment will be notified via app but it constantly records as long as you have record settings set to constant
Great video, What else do we need to purchase to make the camera fully functional for out doors? Do we need Protective cover, SD card, Cable or any other accessories?
Most likely you will need an extension cable for outdoor use. I'm not sure if Wyze is going to sell one but you can get a USB Type A extension like this -> amzn.to/3QuQW5c
nice camera, the patrol pattern is pretty tight. my only beef would be that it looks too much like an indoor camera aesthetically speaking
that cable is so proprietary..and those are meant to be installed mostly on ceilings and ceilings outdoors thus requiring extensions..and this should have had a pigtail end like V3..otherwise messy connection...any suggestions?
the drawbacks you mention about no home position are valid as well as no magnetic mount. also, a pro version like their newer wyze cam v3 pro may have been a better choice for a new pan cam. sticking to hd seems like a step back when they look like they were moving forward with 2k cameras just several months ago.
Wyze is wisely first selling a bunch of 1080 V3 pan cams, and then V3 pro 2K cams, and finally they'll put out the 2K V3 Pan Cam Pros.
That last version Im guessing will come in around $80 - $90.
Correct me if I am wrong, but this seems insanely good for the price.
Auto tracking? 180 degree in all directions? Outdoor?
A lot to like here, but concerned about the 6' cord. Yeah, you could buy a longer one, but would be nice to have a longer cord.
Give it no time .Amazon will have super long cords lol
The closer imagery sucks in the daytime, so how bad is it at night! Thanks for the review.
I have a couple of the campan v3 and will mount them outside to replace a couple V3 cameras I have inside looking out through windows. The reflections during daylight on those cameras looking through glass are not nice.
The Real Problem with Wyze for ME, is that I want a 40$ camera that has 2K and a Subscription Plan as an OPTION. BUT WYZE gives you a cheap camera in price but IF you decide to NOT buy the subscription, then they punish you by turning off camera features until your cheap camera only takes photos not videos. They force you to pay them $99/yr and Your Video of your house is not even Encrypted on their servers. Wyze can watch you in the privacy of your own home ! That is F up.
I'm lucky. My Pan V2 bricked about 4 months in. Best thing that could have happened having made the mistake of purchasing it. Guess they got what they were looking for.
I have over a dozen cameras on a plan for up to 99 devices yearly at $99/yr
Do the math
It’s not that expensive
You’re just cheap
@@syoung20001 I want encrypted servers in the Country where my video feeds are stored. That is my real issue.
Thankyou, I was ordering 4 of these. Not anymore.
Really? Nvm then
I think you're THE consultant for cameras! Please, do I need a base station for them? Can I use it with solar panels? Thanks and good day ...
No, as to base station and solar panels. They needs to be plugged in. Thanks.
@@LifeHackster I deeply appreciate all the information given. Thanks again and good night ...
I am running 23 wyze cameras. I had two first generation cameras fail. But I am committed. The price and quality is exceptional. They will be around for a long time.
Do you use cam plus? If so, what subscription are you using? I assume unlimited
@@Benbear2022 Cam plus
I'm not sure if mine is buggy but I've had to reset mine daily just to keep it connected to wifi. Along with the preset positions also changing daily it's been such a frustrating camera to use. The regular V3 however has been wonderful; only 3 times maybe in a year of ownership have I saw it go offline. (And this was also when I switched internet providers)
Do you have to pay for each month?
I know a ring screw driver when I see one! That's not the included one lol
lol... I have tons of these..
So, my homebuilt DIY security cams use a RPi board running MotioneyeOS for their operating systems, with a Pi tilt and pan module and the standard RPi camera module. I can access each one through any web browser on the local network, and from a remote client if I enable port forwarding on my router. Motioneye can be configured through a client web browser to record loop, record on motion sense, email stills or videos on motion sense, and I can display live cam on a web browser. Motion sense threshholds, idle time, etc are all completely cusomizable. I use Brave for a browser, of course. All I need for access from any device is the unit's IP address, a userID and a password, which can be saved of course for instant logon. I don't have night color capability and I don't have audio, though I could incorporate that on the side with only a very small amount of python coding. Honestly, I don't want to talk to people seeking to disturb me, and I don't give two shits whether or not their sock color matches their tshirt and accessories. My cams that are out in the sun have solar charging, and run completely wireless. I do not need a subscription or a special "app". How does that compare to this camera, which I must admit is very cheap.? Can you run those cams without resorting to using someone else's "app" on your computer or phone? Why is there a "subscription", apart from milking the customer for extra money? Tell me, because if the answers please me, I will probably buy a few. If not, then this is like all the rest of the security cams on aliexpress, fleabay, amazon, etc. Just ripoffs.
Oh wait... you can't even zoom? I'll stick to my Pi cams, for just a few dollars more.
Wish wyze can come out with solar power future and at least no subscription. Overall pretty good affordable pricing though kind of tempting.
Need this but 4k resolution
Here's what concerns me: The right-angle USB connector. It's use so that the base can sit on a flat surface or when it's mounted to the wall mount plate. But that limits you to use ONLY the included USB cable - which is useless if you need a longer cable. If you mount it in the wall plate, could you drill a hole through that plate to allow a straight plug to connect it to power? I realize that it potentially exposes the power connector to the elements, but it seems like that could be fixed with a dab of silicone...
You can get an extension cable... they have sold them for years.
@@1jzMKIII Thought about that, but they aren't weatherproof
Just use the included 6 foot cable and if you need a longer cable, buy a USB type A cable extension -> amzn.to/3QuQW5c and a weatherproof connection type box.
@@LifeHackster I get it - but it still seems very limiting and cumbersome to ONLY allow their cable to be used and is going to cause a lot of people grief. They should definitely have pointed that out in the product description.
Yeah they still are disappointing because the fact that they are not compatible with the light socket adapters.
Great review! Thanks!
Can this be daisy chained off the wyze spotlight, or used in place of the camera in the spotlight with a longer cable and mounted by itself somewhere else?
Ok, the audio is better than it’s predecessors it seems but the video quality is pretty bad. Even in daylight the compression artifacts is ridiculous and the lag/sync is bad. You’re close Wyze but still not there IMO.
Pretty cool camera. I think I'll wait for the Pro version with the Starlight sensor.
This one has the low light sensor live the V3.. I'm not going to say starlight because they didn't mention anything about it on the packaging.
@@LifeHackster wyze v3 has starlight.
Pretty sure he knows that...
Can you review it indoors too? I don't put cameras outside
Check out my wyze cam pan V2 review.. I might do it when I compare the 2 in my future videos...
I really enjoy your reviews of the Wyze products. I know this review was done 3 weeks ago but I hope you can answer a few questions for me. Can you add the Wyze spotlight on to this camera (I currently have one on a V3 outside and would like to swop it out for the pan V3). Also I am "fathered" in with Wyze cam Lite. I know on your review of the new OG cameras you said you couldn't use "lite" can you use it with the panV3? Thanks
Wonder how it holds up to 12hrs of freezing rain. I understand it man not pan and tilt but will it harm it ? Anyone have any experience?
Will you be doing a 2023 home security system tour?
I hope pretty soon...
@@LifeHackster Can’t wait!
Yay!
Thank you I got one and loving it
thank you for another great review and video 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
@athenanimbuss6826...Thanks for watching!
I just set my V3 Pan Cam up last night and though I love it, the viewing of event clips is different from my two stationary V3s.
I could not find out how to get the Pan Cam to track until I read a Wyze help article that said to swipe left on the control bar under the image on the phone screen. There are more options that you cant see and no indication that there are more icons off to the right
Is a router required for operation or is it WIFI direct to your smartphone? Thank you.
Nice review thanks!!
Oh wow you did a review already!
@user-oc2kd2si3n...Thanks for watching!
Great video as ever
@davidmeredith2695...Thanks for watching!
Is it usable with the wyze socket? Great video and quick turn around BTW!
I was told no very disappointed.
@@russelln114 that is disappointing
Thank you. It will not work with the light socket due to needing a 2 amp power adapter.
Great idea, but the execution from WYZE leaves me wanting more. The audio is fixed, but this really needs to be ateast 2k quality (not 1080p) and they need to allow all features free like Eufy (minus cloud storage of course). I'm still leaning toward Eufy for my security cams.
I do love your detailed reviews and came right here when I got the WYZE notification text.
@tonyvinci3702...Thanks for watching!
I’ve been tempted by Eufy too except for 2 things: no starlight sensor and security concerns reporting back to China.
Good review
Please do a test on Sound Detection of these cameras and whether the Wyze Pan / Tilt scans the area when sound is detected?. Also comparison review of video quality pulls from SD card vs. app.
Not this one...
I find it funny that you use a screwdriver that is exactly like the one that comes with the ring doorbell camera
Because it is..I have dozens of them lol ;)
Man I might have to replace my ring cameras with these cheap wyze. Ring is going in the wrong direction. These cameras look pretty decent especially for $35!
