“It sucks because I really like the new pan cam V3., but I need the 2.5k resolution of the Wyze Cam V4.”— RepresentativeMall25 on Reddit
“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.”— flushingkid718 on Reddit
