WYZEWireless Outdoor/Indoor Battery Security Camera, 2.5K HDR Color Night Vision, Integrated Spotlight & Siren, Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, Alexa & Google Assistant Compatible, White, 1-Pack

I’ve been using the Wyze Wireless Outdoor/Indoor Battery Security Camera for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m impressed for the price. The 2K video quality is sharp, and I love the color night vision—it really helps identify people and objects clearly after dark. Setting it up was super easy, and I appreciate that it works both indoors and outdoors without needing a base station.The motion detection is pretty accurate thanks to the combination of radar and PIR sensors. It even notifies me about smoke alarms, which is a cool bonus. Two-way audio works fine for quick conversations, though the sound quality isn’t crystal clear.Battery life can be a bit inconsistent depending on how often motion is detected, so I recharge it about every week or so. If you’re a heavy user, be prepared for that. I’m considering adding a solar panel to reduce downtime.The app is straightforward, though sometimes notifications take a little longer than I’d like. If you want cloud storage, you’ll need to subscribe to Cam Plus, but basic functions work well without it.Overall, this camera offers excellent features at a budget-friendly price, making it a great choice for casual home security.

This camera is awesome! We have the doorbell camera from WYZE as well and the app is so simple. Set up was so easy and the battery lasts a really long time. The picture and sound quality are surprisingly amazing! Crystal clear and the sound I can hear my kids playing the backyard while this is up front by the garage. The night vision is also pretty clear! What I like most is you don’t have to pay monthly to use it. If you want video taken while movement is happening you have to and it’s only 20 a month. But it takes pictures of movement for free. This is probably one of the best purchases I’ve made considering we have had trouble in the past with our neighbors. There is no lag at all. I will say sometimes for some reason the camera will turn off and I’m not sure why it does that but I just have to go in the app and turn it back on. And very occasionally it will have trouble connecting to the app but that’s to be expected with any type of electronics. Other than that it’s a great purchase! It also has a siren and a light you can turn on to see better!

What at first was a great idea to put some of these cameras up around an old farm house with fiberoptic internet with blazing speeds to see the comings and going and keep track of animals quickly turned into a new part time job.The batteries, although it is very cold outside, have been lasting a day at best and need to be constently recharged. This may have someting to do with setting them to all the max settings, but if that cant be done, why even have the camera with bells and whistles to begin with.There also need to be another software update on Wyze's end as they constantly, and I mean constantly, disconnet from the network and need to have the camera reset and restarted to regain connectivity. This happens everytime you open the app or look at it on the computer. This may have something to do with the short charge life of the battery. Another big goose egg in my opinion.Now lets talk installation. Although very straight forward to the point you could probably figure it out with needing the instructions, I highly recommend that you use different screws to mount the first piece in the ensamble. The screws included seem to be made of a very soft and inferrior metal where they strip very easily. I have used many screws in my life and i would equate these to dollar store quality. Save yourself the headache of using your own screw. If not fully installed flush, you will have issues putting the rest of the pieces together and wont tighten up for the camera to hold firmly in place.I have ordered solar chargers for all of my Battery Cam Pro's and will update on how well those help keep a charge on the devices.If you have a power supply near where you would like the camera outside, just get a plug in style and deal with the cord over these.

I have plug in Wyze cameras all over my house and they are fairly reliable and have a clear picture. Decided to buy a few of the battery operated ones for areas in my yard that don’t have access to an outlet. First of all, the picture quality isn’t quite as crisp as the plug in ones but it’s adequate. My three main complaints are 1) They are unreliable in that they don’t always pick up events even when someone is right in front of the lens. They probably work about 90% of the time but if you’re using it for security purposes this is not reassuring. 2) The battery life is only about 2-3 weeks and that’s without heavy traffic. I have two in my house and one at my Moms and the battery life is about the same for all 3 cameras so it’s not a WiFi issue where the camera has to struggle to connect. Which leads me to problem 3. It sometimes disconnects for no apparent reason and you have to remove and reinsert the battery to get it back up. You usually can’t fix the problem within the app even if you restart it. Oh, and the final icing on the cake is that it takes about 8 hours to fully charge the battery, or longer, so you will need a spare.UPDATE. They must have done a software fix because now the battery life is much improved. It’s probably tripled. Have increased my stars from 3-4 because it’s a huge fix.
