“I'm done with wyze cam, just for the fact that most of the features that was free when they first started are behind a paywall”

49% of 45 verified owners recommend the Wyze Cam v4, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.
Affiliate blogs here say 100% recommend, while the owner-based score is 49%. They earn a commission on every sale — so we show them for transparency but never let them move the score.
The headline score reflects owners (Reddit, enthusiast forums), independent lab tests, blogs with no affiliate links, and YouTube owner-comments when they line up with owners. YouTube and Affiliate blogs are shown for perspective but kept out here — hover the i for why.
Synthesized from what Wyze Cam v4 owners say — not a spec sheet.

“I'm done with wyze cam, just for the fact that most of the features that was free when they first started are behind a paywall”
“Wyze Cam v4. I think it’s perfect. There’s a yearly subscription for cloud features that identifies pet movements so I can see my hamster’s footage from the night before. It works pretty well at identifying my hamster”
“The audio quality is definitely better than the v3, but it's not something I care much about. Not seeing any huge reasons to upgrade”
“I love my Wyze cam v4”
“Kinda disappointed there was a review vs the v3 or pro to let users know if they should upgrade”
“I really wish they would do 30fps now”
“Video not good at distance but atleast it picked you up at at good distance”
“I am fine paying $100 per year to Wyze for all the benefits I get in return. No camera system is perfect. Wyze continues to meet the needs for most consumers.”
“Video quality is still lacking I see”
“my gripe right now is i can't set where the camera focuses so my foreground is blurry and the background is clear. It might be worth seeing if there's a version that let's you adjust that”
“have been a happy customer ever since”
“Micro usb cable still? In 2024, really?”
“I have been testing the Wyze Cam V4 feeds, and they look good-enough for what we need; and well within our budget.”
“Night recording still looks like the V3 Pro 😔. Only upgrade is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6 compatible. I'll pass on this 1.”
“the audio is absolutely amazing it's so clear I'm 100 percent satisfied with it. Setup was easy, the picture is clear”
“I'm really starting to like the compact cube design for cameras It's less noticeable further away and easier to hide”
“Seems like they didn't fix the USB port to be better sealed if installing upside down. I had one fail”
“I don't see much of a difference although I'm happy they brought back the usb dongle connector”
“I’m running all Cam V4s with one OG Tele. The V4 has much better resolution than the V3.”
“the grey color looks sick!”
“Still annoyed that Wyze hasn't released an updated Lamp Socket that's compatible with the newer cams.”
“Screw their 10 second clips 5 minute cool downs”
“Cheap and works fine. I’m sure there’s better out there.”
“my Wyze cheap cameras still going since the beginning of their release”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“It sucks because I really like the new pan cam V3., but I need the 2.5k resolution of the Wyze Cam V4.”
“Decided to get a Wyze cam v4 which has motion detection (a few misses on detection) AND playback that records to an microSD. Needs WiFi to work so I only turn it on while baby is sleeping. Doesn’t function like a baby monitor though, the audio stops when you’re not actively on the app.”
