In owners' own words

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

I really wish they would do 30fps now
@tuandang8777 on YouTube
Video quality is still lacking I see
@krz8888888 on YouTube
Micro usb cable still? In 2024, really?
@Che9009 on YouTube
Night recording still looks like the V3 Pro 😔. Only upgrade is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6 compatible. I'll pass on this 1.
@JGM519 on YouTube
Seems like they didn't fix the USB port to be better sealed if installing upside down. I had one fail
@Thatsmessedupman on YouTube
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
@QQPP19 on YouTube
I'm disappointed Wyze went with grey
@JohnPMiller on YouTube
They still haven't fixed the power adapter to have a side port?!?
@Set_your_handle77 on YouTube
Why is the nighttime video with or without the spotlight so bad?
@akorejepade1261 on YouTube
There were just too many Wyze issues with them in the last couple years for me.

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

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.
