WYZE Cam v4 (Latest Model), 2.5K AI Security Camera, Indoor/Outdoor Cameras for Home Security, Baby Monitor & Pet Camera, Vibrant Color Night Vision, No Subscription Required, Free Expert Help

Easy to install and set up we had bought 4 and installed and set up in about an hour . Camera quality is much better than the old models and small size is great they are compact and easily moved if needed. For just over 100 dollars well worth the money for a little security. Visibility is really good and the app is easily used and can change settings quickly if needed . Will see over the next few months how we Well they continue to work . And the subscription is much more affordable than most cameras. They are also magnetic which I did use on the inside cameras but not sure if they are strong enough to hold outside so we opted to screw it to the house outside rather then using magnets. Over all happy with the purchase of the v3 model. Big improvement over the older models.

Buy it ! This camera at this price cannot be beaten. I have 3 other V3's and this new version is fantastic. Extra Plus is the Spotlight which can be turned on or off or to go on with motion. Set up took 1 minute. Crystal clear picture even on 2.5. The motion detection is fantastic. Using the SD card for storage. Buy it. Highly recommended

Bought two Wyze cameras - this one and the Cam Pan V3. If you don't need the rotate this is a great choice - the streaming quality on this one is higher and it's got a light on it which I found surprisingly useful. The two-way communication is actually pretty awesome - for as small as it is the camera's mic pics up decent audio. I did find that if you're on the monitoring end and want to speak through the camera you should do so slowly and deliberately as it takes a half-second for the speaker on the camera to kick on and broadcast; it cuts you off a little so just make sure you enunciate. Night mode is neat but I never use it. I use this for on-demand monitoring rather than 24/7 security so I had to look up how to disable certain things (motion tracking boxes, automatic light/alarm, etc.) but all were, blessedly, able to be disabled. Other reviews said those settings sometimes mysteriously come back on but I haven't experienced it, but had this operational for only about 20 days now. Having had this installed for over two week I've had none of the problems others spoke about. App is surprisingly functional and stable. I wish there were a "refresh" button in it as I had to close it out and re-open a couple of times to catch up to a live feed, but other than that no big deal. I will say they REALLY like to push notifications, access to your device, and upsell their cloud service. You can always hit no, but the popups are recurrent - I've had several in the ~20 days of use so far, so likely every few days you'll be asked if you're *REALLY* sure you don't want to buy online storage. Cameras haven't disconnected at all. Again, had to restart the app a few times but they were never unavailable to me. Unless I got lucky with these units I'm guessing they ironed out the problems people were having and/or the issues folks experience are because the cameras are on the periphery of WiFi - these do take a lot of data and so a strong, consistent signal is necessary. If you're monitoring these remotely on cell signal, know you'll need a good 5G signal to get an uninterrupted live feed. If you're low on bars or busted down to LTE you'll get some chop, maybe serious chop, depending on how hairy your connection is. These are essentially like streaming Netflix so again strong, consistent data is key if you want a truly live monitor. All in all, for the price, I'm honestly blown away. They have to be making near-zero on the hardware and using cloud subscriptions to subsidize selling the units, which would explain the constant badgering to sign up. But in the end that just means I get a really serviceable entry level camera for the cost of a nice lunch.

These have a clear picture and are overall great little cameras. I like that I can put my own SD cards in them to be able to save my own recordings. The app is good, but could use some improvements. I like that I can log in on their website to have 24/7 viewing of all my cameras on my monitor. These are plugged in, so don't need to worry about battery life. The motion detection can be adjusted to any range. These are great value for the money!

Must have security camera!! They are a fraction of the cost of Ring, smaller in size and have way better functions, and super simple to install. Built in night light, night vision, clear day vision, adjustable vision sensors, adjustable sound sensors and best part.....you don't need a subscription if you don't want to. The plain basic function works great, just not as many function selections. Can only order 3 at a time. They sell longer cords if need be which is really nice too.

Really great camera system! VERY easy to set up, super clear video feed and can live stream (whereas the Blink system only shows a few seconds at a time). A lot of value for the price! You can also log in online from anywhere to see your cameras on a laptop or whatnot. Very impressed - using them for foaling season at a horse farm and quite pleased. Highly recommend.

Great clear pictures. App user friendly. Like the motion recordings. Subscription reasonably priced.

⭐⭐ I’m impressed!! I purchased two of the Wyze Cam v4 (2.5K HD) cameras about four months ago, and overall I’m very happy with them. Below is a breakdown of what works well and what I’ve noticed. What I Like: 1. Image quality & night vision: The clarity is excellent, even in low light. The color night vision is a big upgrade over older security cams I’ve used (Lorex). I can make out faces and details at night. I compared this to my Ring Doorbell 3 Plus that I reinstalled at the same time as these, and it’s not a comparison at all. The Wyze (to be fair, it’s newer and has more advanced technology) is much clearer during the day, and especially at night. At night, the Ring only works for items up close and rarely catches movement more than about six feet away. 2. Indoor/outdoor flexibility: These are weather rated (IP65), so I’ve used one outside under a covered porch and one on the eve of the house. The one on the eve is exposed to so much more weather, and is handling it like a champ. They handle light rain/dampness just fine (so far)…snow is coming; we will see about how that is! 3. Motion-activated spotlight + siren: When motion is detected, the LED spotlight and voice warning kick in. Both are optional and you can shut them off, but having the spot light turn on is lovely. This light is bright enough to avoid putting on our outside light at night. This is helpful as a deterrent. The siren is fairly loud, but not something I require the use of. 4. Setup & app usability: Setup was straightforward. The magnets on the bases are amazing, plus each cam comes with permanent mounting hardware. I have yet to use the permanent mounts; the magnets are prefect. The one cam is stuck upside down to a metal piece under the eve, and it’s stayed through crazy wind and weather without issue. The other is resting on a screw on the handrail of the deck and it doesn’t move either. The Wyze app is intuitive, and switching between my two cameras is seamless. The dual audio (two-way) works well when I check in. 5. Value for money: For the features you get (2.5K resolution, weather rating, color night vision, motion alerts, etc.), this is a strong value. I feel like I got “more cam for the money.” Who’d have thought for $50 I could get a great quality security camera? ⚠️ What I’ve Noticed / What Could Be Better • Power / wiring limitations These are wired cameras (not battery based). If your location is far from a power outlet, you need to order longer cables. I had to order a couple of 20 foot cables separately since I didn’t have an outlet 5 feet away. This was a bit of a hassle. • Motion detection false positives: Occasionally, I get alerts from shifting shadows, or leaves/branches blowing in the wind. And sometimes I get alerts from rain. Let’s not forget spiderwebs and the odd moth. The detection isn’t perfect. You’ll want to fine-tune your sensitivity settings and zones to reduce false alerts. During rainstorms, I reduce my sensitivity a fair bit so if a still get alerts but not hundreds over a short period. • Latency / lag: There’s a slight (or sometimes a little longer) delay (a second or two, up to 5 to 10 seconds) between motion and when the live feed shows up. It’s not a deal breaker, but worth noting if you’re expecting instant response. I suspect this is due to my Wifi and not the cameras/app themselves. I did not want to wire any camera with Ethernet direct again, so this is the cost of using wireless, in my opinion. • Subscription vs local recording To get advanced features (person, package, pet detection), a Cam Plus subscription helps. But if you don’t want to pay, local microSD recording is viable, though you lose some “smart detection” features. And this was the basic subscription I got, not the Cam Unlimited Pro. The Unlimited Pro actually recognizes faces you have saved in the app as family/friends (which makes notifications of people a lot easier), allows you to search with a search button for specific events (rather than scrolling nonstop), 60 day cloud backup (vs 14 on Cam Plus), etc. I didn’t need this feature, but did want cloud backup so I chose the Cam Plus. 💡 Tips / Best Practices l • Place the camera at about 7–9 ft height (2–3 meters); high enough to reduce tampering, low enough for good detail. • Point the motion zone toward typical movement paths (walkway, door, driveway) to reduce stray triggers. • Use decent microSD cards (if using local storage); go for brands with good write speed and reliability. • Test the setup at night after installation to ensure the color night vision works well where you place it. In summary: If you’re looking for an affordable, capable camera for both indoor and outdoor use, the Wyze Cam v4 is a strong pick. Between my two units, I haven’t had any major issues yet, and I feel confident in their performance. Of course, like all cameras, they aren’t perfect; but for the price and features, I’d recommend it.

Much improved clarity compared to previous and the spotlight not only provides light but as it is motion sensitive it acts as a deterrent. Clearly recorded an intruder at 4am and aided in his apprehension.

Can't see the video recorded unless you need to pay monthly subscription for each camera.

Camera is fine and a reasonable priced at around £50 each but the cost of using the clever detection and storage feature is ridiculous. £140 per year for their enhanced detection. Anywhere you go in the app it is trying to flog you their subscription service. It also doesn't work with Apple Home which is why I bought it.
