If it works, it’s great! The problem is, the cams spend more time offline than they do working. I have other devices, that have no issues, but my wyze cams are ALWAYS going offline. They’re updated, I’ve tried doing a full reset, deleting and reinstalling. Nothing works for longer than a few minutes then offline over and over again…. Good price, good quality if it actually works. I won’t be buying these again
In the past few weeks, my Wyze Cam Pan v2’s night vision has stopped working so I just get recordings of completely black screens. I can’t adjust the detection settings; I get an “operation failed” message every time. I updated the app hoping that might fix these problems, but it didn’t. I also pay for the continuous/back-to-back recordings (12+ seconds), which has worked *maybe* 5 times. Would not recommend folks get these cameras – it’s definitely not worth it.
Overall great, AI misses the mark. It has often missed capturing and storing data when a person is identified. It more commonly captures notion and sound but person has been very inconsistent. For example, it would identify the person entering and capture that but will fail to identify and capture the person exiting. I hope that can be addressed as that is a major security flaw.
Gets worse every month. I have been a Cam plus subscriber for 2 years now and I’m currently looking for a different brand to try. Can plus should play as long as there is movement. It plays maybe 10 seconds and quits. It misses lots of stuff. It catches a car driving half way up my driveway then when the car actually gets close the camera stops recording. This isn’t worth the $35 camera price let alone the subscription fee. It used to be good 2 years ago, I don’t understand why they wreckedit
Overall, it’s pretty good. Some connection issues have plauged the app and cameras from day one. Was excited to get the most updated outdoor wireless cameras 5o get a more advanced system but they have connection issues as well. We have a great mesh network, yet sometimes these cameras struggle to send data and stream consistently. For the price point these are solid cameras. Just know what your signing up for at the price point.
I’ve been using Wyze cameras, switches, plugs and door locks. It all jumps into Alexa easily. I love having the Wyze app to monitor the cameras and get alerts. I have shared some cameras and a lock with my roommate and I appreciate that I can be communicative and selective. Definitely will continue use. The only challenge I have is the functionality changes as the equipment I buy is newer models, but it hasn’t disappointed.
very unhappy to find out wyze uses AMAZON web services for their cloud storage, no, for OUR cloud storage. i specifically went with a smaller co (got their very first line of cams when the co. started) to avoid amazon! it’s like u can’t get away. and this app crashes way too much. in a time sensitive situation, trying to see what’s going on outside, it won’t open, and will freeze up my phone! until a full restart. get it together please!
Used to love these cameras now they don’t playback or if they do it’s when they want to. Sometimes don’t load. I’m over it. Been trying to get video for an hour and it still won’t load and play UPDATE: APP is still not working and much worse. I have logged out uninstalled and reinstalled. My internet is fine. Playback doesn’t work at all since Jan 4th update. I have a lot of crime happening and so far cannot pull up video for police other than clips recorded. Those are the only videos that work.
Wyze needs to do a better job at testing their software. Since the latest update there are now issues when trying to connect to multiple devices in the group view. With a clean launch of the application it will connect to four or five cameras but then it starts to fail connecting to the others. Then the real problem is when it does fail connecting to those cameras those cameras can become unstable and may even need to be rebooted. It’s not camera specific though so it’s the software.
Works as expected. Often the day’s events take an inordinate time to appear, and a quick check leaves you thinking there’s nothing there for times of interest. You have to keep refreshing and waiting to finally see all the events listed. You never get any kind of feedback whether all the events are loaded. With this behavior, you could easily miss even knowing that captured video is present, and thus never know something happened.
Removing some stars until dev provides way to stop “cam plus” pop-up (opt out). App is functional and fairly easy to use. Two possible improvements (if they already exist I can’t figure out how to use them): 1. Reposition the “video loading” status display to somewhere other than the middle of the screen, and possibly make it smaller. 2. Add the ability to adjust the playback speed when viewing recordings and event videos. Thanks
Constantly drops connection on video playback. When I’m looking through footage it keeps losing connection and I have to start over looking through. I have to back out, let the camera reload up, then go back in and try again. Data signal is great for it, and cleared my phone cache. It’s really annoying. Why have security cam when you can’t look through the video footage? It has gotten worse over time and multiple updates.
Don’t even do this product unless it’s a temporary solution. When you purchase you have full control over everything. But once the free or your current subscription runs out they will remove some custom key points in the app. For example the ability to arm/disarm from a phone or tablet. You will also loose the siren so basically what you have is a expensive door sensor box lol. If this is all you need then it’s a good system but if you need a real security system look elsewhere 😉
I used to love wyze but lately I’ve been having so many issues, such as not being able to watch my 30 second clips, the camera constantly blinking from red to blue, and not being able to view live streams which is why I am about to switch to a different company camera. The subscription is not bad for the price but I rather have stability than anything.
Not the most reliable, 1080 cannot see very good details on a criminal at the end of your driveway(v2). When the v3pro comes back in stock I’ll give a couple of them a try. Also got some weird reason I cannot rotate my screen anymore, crashes to main screen. The light bulbs are not the most reliable either, cannot connect, but they schedule pretty well. Used to be 5*s, but all the updates and features lost give you a very inconsistent experience. I own several v2s, pan cam, scale and bulbs.
Thermostat interface is UNSTABLE. I have 2 thermostats. They were fine for the first few months, but the last year they go offline and you have to remove their power to get them to reset. You decide if doing this once a week or so is acceptable. Cameras are pretty stable, I have 5 including a Pan. I can’t recommend the motion sensors or contacts. They worked for about 3 monta, now 2 of 3 are off line. Not sure if it’s the app or if batteries failed.
This app does work as described. However I feel improvements could be made. When it displays the cameras it will so thumbnails from the last time it was viewed. It would be better if the app would grab a shot from each camera at the opening of the app. Even better if it would show live view of all cameras even if all they could do is a refresh rate of 1 FPS. I would like a way to view all cameras at the same time.
The App has gotten better including stability and features. I suspect the issues are more related to the hardware and the back-end servers. My biggest complaint is that the even video thumbnails are too small making it very hard to see what’s in the even video. There’s a lot of wasted space on the event list and I would be happier with bigger thumbnails even at the cost of fewer events displayed.
Been with Wyze since the beginning. When It had promise and potential. Unfortunately it appears they tried branching out to other things way before perfecting their cameras. Too many issues with connectivity, the app, battery issues, parts, notifications and now charging for things we used to get for free. Yes, Wyze is cheap compared to other cameras – but you get what you pay for.
None of my Wyze lightbulbs are responding to the app since a recent firmware update. I’ve tried emptying the app’s cache and storage, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and removing and re-adding the bulbs. The app begins, but doesn’t finish the process of re-adding bulbs, so the ones I removed are now entirely unusable. The app’s “chat” customer service function only provided canned messages. After waiting on hold, a rep suggested I try power cycling my router. That didn’t work, either.
Feels like an alpha release. This app is absolutely terrible. Video playback skips many seconds and the response time is ridiculous. Even paying for a license does not improve things. For over 6 months, I’ve been dealing with this and although I have submitted over 6 issues to the development team, none of the issues are ever fixed. User beware. Wyze does not give proper support. Move on.
Deplorable! The alarms go off when you cancel them. I often have to swipe/kill the app and restart it to connect to cameras. Cameras that are working and viewable on an iPhone aren’t viewable on this (or vice versa). Also, it’s frustrating to find things. There are so many options and it’s not always intuitive where an option is located. The alarm is about 50/50 picking up an intruder. I would not recommend Wyze nor their products at all.
Great camera terrible AI. The videos are clear and crisp, perfect color with no grainy appearance. However, it keeps saying it detects a person and all it is seeing is a change in lighting. I’m also having issues with the app freezing when I’m trying to monitor live. My phone shows the app keeps crashing. It worked well until an update a couple months ago. I complained about it no resolution yet.
I love my camera, but lately I’ve wanted to throw it in the trash. I don’t get push notifications anymore for events, yes I checked my settings. It goes offline way too frequently, and there’s no issue with our internet/power. I can’t fast forward through events anymore. The events no longer show the length of time. I can’t restart the camera if I’m away from home. It also glitches pretty frequently. I hope these are things that can all be fixed in a timely manner!
I love using my wyze cam and I’ve had it for a while. I subscribed to get the full length video snippets of events but 9/10 times I go to look at those events in the app it just says there was an error and won’t load a single one. What’s the point in paying for a subscription if I can’t see any of the recordings. There isn’t even an email for support listed on the app. It’s really frustrating. Will update review upon hearing back from someone.
The recording does not capture all events. It manages to record every light flicker, but misses to record people and cars, even on the CamPlus subscription. Difficult to install the app and connect devices if you have a new phone. Requires you to remember all the wiring configurations before and after. However, once it is all set up, is easy to use.
The app takes a very long time to connect to video feeds and often times fails to do so. The app then has to be reset in order to access the video feeds. Sometimes that does not even work and the device itself has to be reset on a weekly basis. Devices oftentimes have to be uninstalled and reinstalled in order to be accessed in the app. It’s incredibly annoying. It is definitely not worth the low price of the devices. Using a Pixel 4a 5G
I really wanted this to work but I’ll likely be replacing my setup with something more reliable. I have constant issues with maintaining connections with both the indoor and outdoor cameras. It’s very frustrating to want to check in on your apartment but almost always get a failed connection error. I initially thought it was my internet service so I upgraded that and the problem persists. I find this unacceptable especially since I pay for the premium service.
When I first purchased the cameras, they were awesome, they would take a short video clip and show you, now you have to be connected and it searches for the video, no longer showing you the preview. The feature was turned into a premium feature. this makes the cameras virtually useless if you are in the mountains and have connectivity issues, it used to download a short clip, now you have to connect. I no longer recommend to friends. When I complained about this on their FB, they banned me.
Meh. Several problems other than the cameras seem to miss stuff, like people, or it’s too late in recording and doesn’t record long enough to be useful. I have over 10 cameras and the doorbell. Mostly shadows set it off. The paid service doesn’t seem to fix these issues. You can’t edit much in landscape, many settings are buried, the doorbell can’t be added to a group, and you should be able to look at the cams recording from it’s video page
The app is useless without cameras obviously. The cameras are useless without SD cards and the subscription, which is not cheap. I am impressed with the night and low light filters. I am not impressed with the sound quality mostly and the camera resolution is pretty awful. They use mini USB to charge or for power which is old and harder to find now. After the subscription is up I won’t renew. And I’ll be moving around on to a better quality camera.
The pan cam’s motion tracking is cool. However, it’s too slow to snap motion detection photo for any practical use. You could walk by it and it will detect motion, but only be successful at snapping a photo that doesn’t show the intruder. Only if you loiter in front of it, it will take a successful photo of the intruder. The app is littered with advertisements for buying cam plus, even when you try to just review an event photo. It doesn’t take take the short video of motion most of the time.
Barely works, error 20 occurs often, requiring taps to retry connection. Why doesn’t it automatically retry? Good question. If it’s ever fixed I’ll update this review, but as of now it’s going on more than a year. Update: I had been using the grouped view, and once I switched to single view it’s been better, though the app crashed completely once. I updated my score but I’m hoping they can fix grouped view.
Camera constantly changes to a purple hue or disconnects even when the wifi’s working. Sometimes the feed has a split view with the bottom half of the screen on top and the top half on the bottom creating a massive distortion. As well to correct the problem power cycling doesn’t always correct the problem and I’ve had to delete the camera and go back through the initial setup to get the camera functioning normally. Maybe it’s a problem with the camera but I know for sure it’s not my internet.
For the most part it’s hard to complain with the price being what it is but I am frustrated at certain things like not being able to have advanced detection when you have the alarm package which is frustrating that you get reduced functionality for paying more. On top of this you cannot download video directly from the camera you have to pull the SD card. Then at times they disconnect from the Wi-Fi even when the signal is strong. Very frustrating.
I think I’m going to give up. I’ve had the outdoor cam v2 for maybe 5 mo. and the amount of times of having to turn off and turn on directly from the cameras because app says it’s “offline”, it’s becoming a hassle. Moving the base doesn’t closer seem to help. Re-syncing cameras, deleting the cams and adding it back, restarting the net, cams and base isn’t helping much. Even trying to turn it back on with the app doesn’t work. It’s on the 2.4hz band like it says it needs to be. Maybe it’s a no go
Here we are a little more than a year later. Still somewhat glitchy. Occasionally shows error messages that don’t help with diagnosis. Cannot group cameras without causing worse data feed errors. Would like to be able to program Bulb Color to change colors over time with a configurable pattern. Most other functionality is somewhat stable. Wyze, you still have a way to go.
Doesn’t always pick up activities. Records a video at the driveway of a vehicle that shows no vehicle. Or there will be activity that just doesn’t pick up. Sometimes very slow to load to view in real time. Not Wi-Fi related. No other Wi-Fi issues. Goes offline like the battery is dead (outdoor cam) But the battery was just charged and had 97%. This is having several times.
Love Wyze cameras and the app. Would have been a 5 star except I have a problem with not being able to restart a camera remotely if it goes off line. Like if I’m out having dinner and the camera goes offline, then I’m not able to restart it using the app. I get a message that says the I have to physically turn off the camera and then back on. Bummer.
When I first got my 3 cameras, I liked them better than the previous cameras I had. I even upgraded to the Plus plan and added a 4th camera. Now, I only get 3 second recordings that don’t pick up what I need them to like a car, people, or when my tree fell, but can pick up the movement of fly or a gnat (close) to the camera. Doesn’t always record continuous movement like it says. Often, when I go to look at an event, there is an error. I am looking to replace these cameras with another brand.
