WYZECam OG Indoor/Outdoor 1080p Wi-Fi Smart Home Security Camera with Color Night Vision, Built-in Spotlight, Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, Compatible with Alexa & Google Assistant, White

We purchased this camera to install in the main area of our home to keep an eye on an elderly parent while we are away. The wide angle lens makes it possible to see movement across the entire living room. The night vision is also perfect. It was super easy to install. It took me approximately 2 minutes. We feel much happier being able to launch the app from anywhere and make sure that everyone is doing fine. The microphone works well as long as you are holding your phone away from your face. The speaker works very well also. We really like this product.

I've bought copious numbers of these. These have become my go-to option for when I need a wireless camera placed somewhere. I use the free option (instead of paid subscription) with an SD card in the camera for notification and retention of activity recordings. These cameras are weather tolerant. I've had several posted outside my house for more than a year. This camera is highly recommended for reliability and ease of setup.If you have devices of both operating aystems, I find the Android setup is much easier than the iPhone setup.

This brand makes absolutely excellent cameras. Well worth the money. I have 3 of these cameras and i can't believe how perfectly they work. One is outside and the weather doesn't affect it at all. I am very glad these were recommended by someone who knows a lot more then I do.

This review isn't really about the camera, but the "optional" service provided by Wyze, Cam Plus. Honestly, there isn't much difference between this cam and similar cams on the market. The one I had before this might have arguably been better, but it was somewhat big for my needs so I got this one. Also, I wasn't happy with motion tracking for my pet. They Wyze OG camera construction and quality of the camera is good, however you need to use Cam Plus and/or a SD card to get any real benefit out of this cam. This is where my aggravation comes in.When I first got the camera, I setup motion tracking. Now, its important to note that I use this to monitor my bearded dragon. The AI for these cameras typically expect you to be monitoring a cat or dog, so I turned off the "pet" and other "smart" events because it wasn't working as expected and just set up all motion for event tracking. The last camera didn't catch any of the lizards movement, but the Wyze cam actually tracks movement and occasionally even labels him as "pet". I was happy with this , but lately the service is only catching the beginning and ending of movement. For example, it catches my lizard approaching and leaving the food bowl, but does not show me if he ate or not. I assume this is because of a "cool down" period in the motion tracking.This wouldn't be a major issue for just pet tracking, but I can see how this has security implications. You could see someone approach and leave your house, but miss them actually stealing your packages! For my needs, this is an issue. I am writing a book on pet nutrition and I need to be able to observe my pet eat the food I make so I can take notes. Simply knowing he went over to the food bowl does not help. In other words, I need this for research and Wyze is failing me.To alleviate this problem, I bought an SD card. Now all activity is captured but my problem is not resolved because it is very slow to review the footage from the SD card and if there is a way to speed up playback, I do not see that option. I have tried scrolling and going to the exact time that I know activity happened and still I see nothing in the footage. The timeline will tell you there are events, but not play them. You have to click on the number of events icon to open up a separate even slower timeline that will eventually display what I'm looking for. I haven't done so yet, but I suspect my only way to resolve this is to record the section of footage I know the activity happened at from the SD card, download it to another application, and then view it at the speed I want. That's too much work when I'm already paying for Cam Plus. A simple "jump to" command where I can enter a time and view what happened then, would go a long way.My last issue with Cam Plus is the application and web view. The web view sucks due to a lack of features and its the one I use most often to monitor my pet. Unlike my previous camara and accompanying service, I cannot record, take pictures, etc. from the web view. This can only be done in the app. I wfh and am at my desk all day with web view open. If my lizard does something that I want to capture I have to open my phone quickly and hope I can catch it in time or just record it later using the process described above. Another issue is having to log in to web view every single time WITH multi-factor authentication even though I only access it from the same computer on the same network every time. Recently, a "Remember me" option was added but stopped working after a week.Generally, I am happy with the camera but extremely frustrated with the Cam Plus service. I'm going to stick it out because I have already invested this much, but if there isn't improvement soon I will be looking for a new camera and service. For those of you who haven't made the investment yet, I recommend spending more time researching the Cam Plus service instead of the camera. Again, its a camera, it will do the job it was made to do. But like any camera, how you use it and the tools it uses (Cam Plus) make a huge difference.

This is such a great camera. This is the second one I’ve got. The ease of set and range of motion are nice. The picture and clarity of these cameras is excellent. The cameras are wide view so you get to see more .With all that, then comes the app. It is excellent. It allows you to have so much control. As an example I can block off part of the road so it doesn’t set off the alarm. You can’t even add onto the app to where it can identify your pets and people..We 800 miles to visit my daughter and I could see my front driveway and the side of my house perfectly. On live music feed I can even see what the cats were up to.Great product
