Hello, do you have any idea why when rewinding or fast forwarding on “view playback” you are not able to see any video movement until you stop rewinding or fast forwarding?
Have CamPlus account for my first V3 camera. Bought a second V3 camera...do I need a second CamPlus subscription? Should I cancel the first account and buy a 2 camera CamPlus license? Thanks...Peter
Thank you for taking the time to review this. In case you have time, what system would you recommend that monitors the exterior of the house without sending an alarm to the user or anywhere else, but allows to record video triggered by motion detector and that could be reviewed over a period of a few days. For example I could review videos once a week and delete them to free up space. Is there an option that doesn’t need wifi and is battery operated? I’d like to install one in the corner of a screened enclosure and wifi may not reach there? For the ones with SD cards - would I need to get on a ladder and take out the SD card? Or is the recording transmitted to a device that has the SD card? Thank you!
I think for what you are looking for the Wyze Outdoor camera V2 might work: amzn.to/3Q0ks1j. This camera has an sd slot can be accessed via the app when moved into wifi range but has something called travel mode which will let it record while not connected to wifi.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Thank you so much!!! I ordered a Wyze v3 to try using indoor, attached to a window looking outside, using the window attachment. I thought in this way I have easier access to it and I don’t need to install it very high, out of easy reach of a burglar. I am not sure if it has the same function as you explained, but I could also order a v2 and use them to complement each other, looking at different angles. 🙏
@@maple8859 The Outdoor camera v2, is very different then the indoor camera v3. The outdoor camera is the only camera that Wyze offers right now with the "travel mod" option. The indoor v3 will need to be connected to wifi to work correctly. I do have a v3 pointed outside into my yard though a window and it does work well enough for what I need it to do. Helps me keep an eye on things while I am out.
@@larrysheran When looking back overy your videos do you have any filters turned on? Pet, person, etc.? This would cut down on the videos that are shown to you even with a cam plus subscription.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews I had it to person but just took it off and have it to record everything. I hope this was it. I'll try today and let you know. So far I have 8 videos, let's see when it gets to 20 to see if it goes over.
Wyze Cam Plus QUESTIONABLE billing practices…. Long term Wyze user I recently took them up on their offer to pay for Wyze cam unlimited for the year at a discount. (I was currently on a monthly subscription) SIlly me, I thought they would transition my account to annual billing. NO, they charged me for both, monthly AND what I had paid for annual. It took me a while to pick up on it. My personal opinion is that’s BS. So I guess if you change your car insurance, utility plan, or whatever, you should make sure you cancel what you used to be on????? Never ran into that. I will be transitioning to RING on a gradual basis…my kids have it, they don't play games and basically try to steal your money.
I cant make heads or tails of this BS. I paid for a subscription for 2 cams so I wasnt tied to 12 second clips with a 5 minute cool down and now I dont know what the hell im supposed to do to just keep the service like that
Check out camplus v3 which now allows me to live view on my ACER laptop, for which I use a large screen tv as my monitor. No lag, has sound. Not sure what all is featured as the live and sound are all I want. You have to have camplus installed ($14 per year). I have two tvs to view, one tv shows (fire tv), the other as computer monitor which stays on to view security cams.
This is for any camera that does not already have a subscription. You can opt to do nothing but you will then only be able to save clips to the SD card a will no longer have person detection. If you want these options for the cameras you don't have subscriptions for already you will need to pick the cam plus lite plan which is name your own price for those options. Even if that price is zero.
Those are fantastic subscription prices. I just ordered a Wyze doorbell cam as well as an outdoor cam and base station. Thanks for the info. I’m not very tech savvy so I need all the guidance I can get.
I will never buy any more of there products. Going from free for some time to charging a subscription is just deceitful. I don't care if it is .50 cents a month! It is the point! They got me with the bait and switch, ..... "Here use this camera, buy the cards... oh sorry, we cannot let you operate it like you used to unless our use our subscription....." I will use it as is, and then it goes in the trash!
You can still use the service without the subscription with the SD cards. No company can offer cloud based storage without collecting a fee to cover their costs.
@@MichaelLiningMusic You can have contiunes recording and or motion clips saved to an sd card. You will not have person detection or any of the other AI detection optoins along with no cloud storage.
It is very dependent on what each person needs out of your cameras. If you only want person detection and cloud storage litite is fine. If you have a doorbell you need plus. Trying to do home monitoring then pro.
Some helpful time stamps:
Intro: 0:00
Cam Plus Lite: 0:13
Cam Plus: 5:07
Cam Plus Pro: 9:34
If you like what is a cam plus service available in Canada
Your videos are absolutely stunning man, thank you so much the detail and flow of video is perfect
Thanks, happy to help.
Hello, do you have any idea why when rewinding or fast forwarding on “view playback” you are not able to see any video movement until you stop rewinding or fast forwarding?
It just is the way they do this. Not sure why.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you. To me that is why this Waze app still sucks…
They make it so confusing.
They do which I why I mad this to try and explain things a little.
The newest model allowed for Plus Lite is the normal (non pan) V3?
Yes that is correct Wyze cam v3 is the last camera to support Cam Plus Lite.
Have CamPlus account for my first V3 camera. Bought a second V3 camera...do I need a second CamPlus subscription? Should I cancel the first account and buy a 2 camera CamPlus license? Thanks...Peter
Yes you would need a subscription for each camera. There might be some fathers day sales for more then one subscription.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Thank you very much for the info...Peter

Thank you your review was very honest and very thorough awesome video!
Happy to help.
at which level do you get access to the wyze WebView feature?
Right now Plus or Pro: support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/4411007645979-Do-I-need-Cam-Plus-to-use-Wyze-Webview-
ok but can you view multiple cameras at one time?
Yes but to do so you need to create a group first of the cameras you want.
Anyone know why I only get 20 videos per day? I currently have Cam Plus on one camera.
It could be the settings on the camera itself. Do you have it detecting all motion are just types of motion?
@@Wanderer001_Reviews all motion! Thanks for helping out!

Great vids. Can u review ur videos daily with or without subscriptions. Do these work on wifi
You can as long as you have an SD card in the camera. They also only work over WiFi.
Wyze Cam Plus QUESTIONABLE billing practices….
Long term Wyze user

I will be transitioning to RING on a gradual basis…my kids have it, they don't play games and basically try to steal your money.
Currently I have been moving to Tapo and eufy as they offer more without having to pay.
Why make something simple when you can make it complicated?
Would have been less confusing calling this Came Lite, Cam Plus, and Cam Pro.
I cant make heads or tails of this BS. I paid for a subscription for 2 cams so I wasnt tied to 12 second clips with a 5 minute cool down and now I dont know what the hell im supposed to do to just keep the service like that
@@BradiKal61 If you paid for 2 cam plus subscriptions you still have them and thy can be used just like they were before.

$1.99 amonth i have 8 camera i pay $15 for 8 and $180 for year how do you thing? right now i want change another one ?
I just got the email from Wyze telling me that I have to make some kind of choice and i have no idea what the heck it is.
This is for any camera that does not already have a subscription. You can opt to do nothing but you will then only be able to save clips to the SD card a will no longer have person detection.

JUNK! RUN LIKE HELL!
What to buy?
Those are fantastic subscription prices. I just ordered a Wyze doorbell cam as well as an outdoor cam and base station.

Happy to help however I can.

I will use it as is, and then it goes in the trash!
I get that. It is part of the reason I have started to look into eufy products. They offer free person detection and sd card storage for free.
You can still use the service without the subscription with the SD cards. No company can offer cloud based storage without collecting a fee to cover their costs.
@@MichaelLiningMusic You can have contiunes recording and or motion clips saved to an sd card. You will not have person detection or any of the other AI detection optoins along with no cloud storage.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews right. But I don’t think they ever advertised that those features were available without cloud storage did they?
No it was always a packaged deal. But just wanted to be clear that the SD card does not get those options.
Per the title, I hoped for a recommendation per my needs, not “only you can decide what’s best for you” at the end…
It is very dependent on what each person needs out of your cameras. If you only want person detection and cloud storage litite is fine. If you have a doorbell you need plus. Trying to do home monitoring then pro.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Perfect. Thank you.
Oh my god stop waving your hand
Then you would just be looking at a screen. I suppose a pointing stick would work too.
WYZE SUCKS! RUN !
