This is the most thorough & Helpful Vid ever !!! Got to come back later and watch the rest. Rest assured U sold me on Wyze Pan V3 !!!! Thx ! Not a Newbie at all. I've been with Wyze since 2018
Happy you found this so helpful. I know these longer style videos don't get the same view traffic that short more highlight style videos do. So nice to hear that they are appreciated.
Had this camera for a while now and was seeing if I missed any capabilities by watching this. One thing to know is that you can get detailed results on what triggered event recording on the micro SD card by utilizing pinch-to-zoom functionality on the timeline. Once you zoom in, it'll separate the events and it'll no longer say like "six events" it'll show what triggered it... so like a little person icon or a pet icon once you zoom in on the timeline. Not sure if that was an update or if it was just overlooked. Also, something to note is if you put an SD card in there but you don't pay for the subscription. It won't put the events on the timeline for scrubbing through the footage on the micro SD card.
That was an update that came out after I put out the video. I hope it is because someone at wyze saw this video and thought yup we should change that. If you don't pay for a subscription looking back through the timeline of an sd card becomes very difficult to do.
Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even th-cam.com/users/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.
Just got my Wyze cam yesterday and it definitely came with the mounting sticker that shows where to drill. So I'm guessing the people at Wyze probably saw your video
I soooo appreciate your explanation of the revised playback! I've had trouble navigating thru this. I wish they had a customer service dept. I tried to get ahold of them to ask what options were available for the subscriptions. Do you have a video on that?
Wow! This was a stellar review of the camera and dove into some deep stuff that was concisely presented to hold my attention. This is my 4th Wyze camera as I got this to replace one that quit working. I will share this with my son after I send him one of the Wyze Cam Pan V3 as a surprise gift. Thanks again for the wonderful and informative presentation. Kudos!
Just got this cam, thanks so much for your in-depth description of features. The manual and the app are definitely lame in that discussion. It's a great camera though and I'm very happy with it.
I had one does paper with the markings on it that you would use to Mark the screw spots to mount your mount I had one in all three of my Cam pin V3 cameras
Full HD/1080p and 2K are the same. 1920 pixels wide, or (roughly) 2,000 (2K) pixels. For reference 4K is 3840 pixels wide or (roughly) 4,000 (4K) pixels.
I'm looking and looking and looking and looking and looking and watching and watching and watching and watching and watching, and all I can find are incomplete videos on the Wyze cam 3. So I'm stuck in this crazy time loop I can't get out of! I didn't even think to write a note to myself on how to get out of the time loop because I was getting so dizzy! THEN! By happen chance I stumbled across your video and EVERYTHING when back to normal. I no longer need to watch any Wyze cam 3 videos! If I need a refresher, I saved this video because it's the ONLY video Wyze needs for their cam 3. They need to get word of what you have done for them here for sure!

(I'm checking out your channel for sure, what all do you have in there)!
Thank you for that. Happy that this was what you were looking for. The sad part is most people are looking for the quick over view of something which is why it took you so long to find this video. It does not get shown to a lot of people being 45min long. I have reached out to a few companies and have reviewed cameras for them. Feel free to take a look at other reviews I have done. I have been doing this for over 10 years now. Theres lots to see.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews You're right! You have some great stuff to see with great reviews! I have already checked out a few. And so many! I need to subscribe to make sure I don't lose you! I like to know the details of the products I buy, I get so much more out of them. Thank you again, Wanderer001_Reviews, for taking your valuable time to do this for us all!
@@pizzadave9812 Very jealous, way to much light pollution by me to pull anything like that off. I have to drive at least 25min before I can really start seeing stars.
Awesome! Super detailed review. How much are you paying monthly? I just need it to motion track one room while I’m away. Which subscription would you recommend? Also if you delete videos while using the SD card, will it free up storage?
I have a cam plus yearly subscription for 1 camera. So it is about $1.60 a month. If you delete a video from the sd card, yes that will free up space on it, but is generally not needed. If you have just the one camera then I would test out camplus monthly first to see if it gives you everything you wanted. If it does then move to a yearly like I have. If you end up with more cameras Wyze now offers an unlimited camera option for $10 a month. www.wyze.com/pages/wyze-cam-plus
Sorry, I deleted my comment and decided to just reposted here. But I just got my camera! How would I talk through it? I’ve been playing around with the app, and can’t find the microphone button lol
Just installed my new Wyze Cam Pan v3 and need help on one thing. I set it up last night and in the morning it was in the privacy mode. How do I make sure that it does not go to privacy at all unless I set it up in the app. I need it to be on all the time. Thanks in advance.
It sounds like there might be a rule that was put in place. It should not go into privacy mode on its own. Check in there to make sure there is nothing that was setup. If there was clear it and that will take care of the issue.
My v3 and outdoor wyze rechargable cams notify me of every vehicle headlight on the hiwy. The shaded detection doesnt block the excessive notifications. Shading the detection field doesnt help either. .Due to the winds here every plant moves and triggers the notifications every couple minutes. When its not windy they work fine. The dementions of my lot are 100x75 in an HOA gated community. so I have to get permission for topping the Blockwall another 2 ft to eliminate the traffics lighs that shine over it. They may not allow it at all. The roadway is about 3 below the top of the block wall and .and 250 ft away, (COMMENT?) My only choice is to put the cams at the outside perimiter block walls of the yard and have cams look back at the house I think.. Actually I preferr that. I used to have a cabled security sytem and placed cams looking back(hidden)hard to locate by trepassers entering the property i was at before.

So a few thigs to unpack here. First yes headlights or movement can set the camera off. You can try lowering the motion sensitivity of the camera to help stop this. Also, you could try anytime you get these types of "false" notification send a report to Wyze telling them what it was. It can be done right from the triggered video. This way it will help train their AI to make less mistakes like that in the future. I have been doing this with my side yeard and have slowly noticed it getting better. The Wzye cam pan v3 is a wifi camera so if you had a mesh network setup with a nod closer to the actual location you would like the camer you could pretty much set it up wherever you like.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Sorry I laid out so much,but its like taking a dump...Once I start Its difficult to unload any less than the entire load! " Mabe its just me?

@@tommygunn7745 To overly simplify, a mesh network is a series of wifi routers that act as one single wifi router. A nod is just what one of these wifi routers is called when working as part of a mesh network. The idea being is you can spaec out the "nods" to give you greater wifi coverage. This mean that even with the camera having a limited range that it can be from a wifi router, using a mesh network you can bring the wifi closer to the camera by having several "nods" spread out to have the distance between the camera and wifi be shorter so that it actualy can connect.
The camera is weather resistant. Of course the power supply isn't. Just use an extention cord and make sure the USB side is pointing DOWN so water can't run into it
I agree it is annoying they Wyze now charges for services that were offered for free when the company first started. But I can also see that without charging something their business model would not last and then Wyze would not be around at all. While I don't want to have to pay for a subscription fee at least the one from Wyze is one of the lowest ones out there.
Considering what it would cost to pay for dedicated security services, what they charge for their services is a bargain. I'm Mexican. Born, raised and living in the motherland. I seriously cannot believe that I see it as a bargain. Have you seen what it costs to have a basic ec2 service on AWS? And that's without the software services offered by Wyze. I can't believe that people expect companies to give them services for free. Remember: if somebody is offering you services for free, you're the product. And that should scare you.
I'm missing the mounting screw on the bottom that secures the camera to the mount. Any idea where i can purchase one It looks special. Thanks in advance
It depends on where you are placing it. If it is under an eves then yes it would be upside-down. But if it is on top of a fence it would not need to be.
Have you been able to determine the maximum detection distance that will trigger a recording? What is the maximum detection distance when someone is walking towards the camera? What is the max detection distance when someone crosses the view of the camera?
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Thanks for the info. I am strongly considering the camera to replace old Arlo that finally died. I almost bought the Wyze yesterday but decided I need to do more research before I decide.
@@tomrum42 That is what I make these videos for. I am not here to tell you to buy this or not. I am here to just give you as much information as I can so you can make an infomred decision for yourself.
@@mandymoonstar2680 They have a new battery powered one that just came out a few months ago. It does not move at all but it is a outdoor battery camera with no hub. I have a review of it coming out this coming Sat.
If it were battery powered the battery would run out of power in a VERY SHORT TIME due to the fact that the camera has a motor that moves the camera to track people and/or pan. I am not aware of anyone that makes a battery powered pan/tilt camera due to the high battery usage involved. Battery power for this type of camera is totally impractical.
I tried to plug in the Wyze 32MB SD card and killed the camera. No workie after that. I bought another Camera and am having a harder time plugging in the SD "But" the camera still works. Where in your video do you show yourself plugging in the SD. Which way is it supposed to go in? In the dead camera it went all the way till it was flush with the hole... but the camera is dead.
I do not show how to inserte an SD card into this camera. There is a little image by the slot that shows the side with the notch and how to place it. At about 4:20 you can see how I have the SD card in this camera, with the text of the SD card facing up.
It really is, starting here: th-cam.com/video/BxIfBAo6fB4/w-d-xo.html. Once you just click into the camera you are already seeing it. This is why you have not seen anyone really make a video about just taht.
I am not sure why that made that change to the UI. I do miss it but part of me feels some how it is meant to push people to their subscription service.
Yes, that may In fact be the reason why I personally have cam plus on all my devices, I've always a small fee even when you didn't have to pay, because I always was happy with the service and what Wyze was doing, still a great service and product. They are just a little bit off on that option, that would run customers away. It would make it too confusing for your average. Joe, thank you for your comment. Hope you have a nice day
I have a problem with the video on my cell phone, I have an iPhone 14 pro max and I have to turn the cell phone upside down to be able to see the recording as it is supposed to be
I bought this too. But unless you pay a monthly fee, you cannot view the notifications when they come up. I'm tired of everyone going to a subscription service to use their product. I'm done with Wyze.
Replace the stainless screws connecting the camera and the bracket. They are junk and will rust out in less then 6 months. I have 6 camera and they are great, but the poor quality of the screws lets down a good package. Most of the reviews you see on youtube don't go past the first week, so take that from a long term user / customer.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Generally I don't mount these so I was not aware of the quality of the screws. I do normally use a camera for at least a month before I do a review to see what might come up with everyday usage.
Si todas son de Wyze, solo necesita hacer clic en el signo más en la parte superior de la página para agregar las otras cámaras a su cuenta. Después de eso, se podrá acceder a todas las cámaras desde la misma aplicación en un teléfono.
Great review. Too bad wyze has rendered this cams sd card useless! Once a fantastic product ruined by its own company without paying extra for cam+ this is basically a baby monitor you cant view your sd card no timelapse? There is at this point no use for a sd card! I will never buy a Wyze product again! This camera is a horrible waste of money! Shame on Wyze!
I have been moving my Wyze cameras over to Tapo cameras. Price point is about the same but Tapo does not make you pay a subscription for things like person and pet detection.
My probldm is with the cam pan v 3. All the v 2 cams have been good. The v 3 was good then in a software update they made it useless cant scroll through video on sd card, no timelapse. The forums are flooded with people having the same problem. Wyze has no answers and does nothing? Thanks for the info. I will check out those cams.

2:00 you could take a piece of paper, pop holes in the paper where the mounting holes are, and use that as a template for the screwing.
This the best system for the money. Wyze #1.
Honestly these days I might check out Tapo. Might be a little more for the cameras but don't charge subscription for person detection.
Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even th-cam.com/users/postUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away.

Bought one today. It had the intallation sticker.
I think it was just for the early ones that were sent out. It happens.
If the camera is left at home on the wifi can you still control it if you're at work or does your phone have to be close and on same wifi network?
As long as your phone has a data connection you can control the camera from anywhere.

I would not say special just an odd size. It is something that fits into standered tripod mounts. I want to say 3 1/4.
I think it is a common 1/4-20 screw available in any hardware store.
@@walterandrews3077 Yes, it is not that big of a deal. Was just surprised normally they have it in the box.
Does the camera get installed upside down when you install it outside on your house
It depends on where you are placing it. If it is under an eves then yes it would be upside-down. But if it is on top of a fence it would not need to be.
Why is it that attract you sometimes but it didn't bother tracking you other times?
It is a setting. You can have it track movement or not.
Have you found that your way points are always off a bit?
I’m always having to reset my way points and that sucks
To be honest I don't use the points that much. I mostly use if for tracking a moving target.
Can I connect more than one camera together instead of using more than one outdoor outlet??
You can not daisy chain these together like some of the other Wyze cameras.

@@Wanderer001_Reviews Thanks for the info. I am strongly considering the camera to replace old Arlo that finally died. I almost bought the Wyze yesterday but decided I need to do more research before I decide.
@@tomrum42 That is what I make these videos for. I am not here to tell you to buy this or not. I am here to just give you as much information as I can so you can make an infomred decision for yourself.
Is this camera wireless?
It needs to be plugged in to power it but works over wifi.
How to get this to auto pan. Does not get other way points when there is movement?
You would set up waypoints and then choose the pan scan option to rotate between the four waypoints that you have created.
Does this camera have to be constantly cored? Or does it charge and can be mounted without cord?
This camera needs to be plugged in to use.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews I wonder if they have battery operated ones.....??
@@mandymoonstar2680 They have a new battery powered one that just came out a few months ago. It does not move at all but it is a outdoor battery camera with no hub. I have a review of it coming out this coming Sat.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Thank you!!
If it were battery powered the battery would run out of power in a VERY SHORT TIME due to the fact that the camera has a motor that moves the camera to track people and/or pan. I am not aware of anyone that makes a battery powered pan/tilt camera due to the high battery usage involved. Battery power for this type of camera is totally impractical.
What's the name of the sim card or specifications, and size?
This does not use a sim card it uses a micor SD card. I generally like Scandisk or PNY for my cards, 64gb is a good side for most to start with.
I tried to plug in the Wyze 32MB SD card and killed the camera. No workie after that. I bought another Camera and am having a harder time plugging in the SD "But" the camera still works. Where in your video do you show yourself plugging in the SD. Which way is it supposed to go in? In the dead camera it went all the way till it was flush with the hole... but the camera is dead.
I do not show how to inserte an SD card into this camera. There is a little image by the slot that shows the side with the notch and how to place it. At about 4:20 you can see how I have the SD card in this camera, with the text of the SD card facing up.
My new installed view is upside down. How do I correct it
Settings > advanced settings > rotate imagen 180o.
that's weird mines came with a screw templet and i have two cameras maybe yours fell out but they do come with the templet
It is completely possible. I did do a day one order so this could have been an early packaged camera that did not have everything in it.
i still find no video that explains how to view while waya from home i thought it was a simple question please advise
It really is, starting here: th-cam.com/video/BxIfBAo6fB4/w-d-xo.html. Once you just click into the camera you are already seeing it. This is why you have not seen anyone really make a video about just taht.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews lol i get it mines was just being weird thank you , great video and this was cleary me not being patient ,
@@jamalswann7786 Just wanted to make sure. I do get some questions were someone really is not aware of how a camera like this works.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews no you were absolutely on point with your video i just did not pay attention
I set this camera up yesterday and played with it for several hours. Today I found this video and wow it’s terrific! Thanks so much.
Why did they remove the playback option from event? Now you have to take extra step to review a playback, please put the playback option back.....
I am not sure why that made that change to the UI. I do miss it but part of me feels some how it is meant to push people to their subscription service.
Yes, that may In fact be the reason why I personally have cam plus on all my devices, I've always a small
fee even when you didn't have to pay, because I always was happy with the service and what Wyze was doing, still a great service and product. They are just a little bit off on that option, that would run customers away. It would make it too confusing for your average. Joe, thank you for your comment. Hope you have a nice day
Appropriate fee for monthly subscription?
Approximate
@@mandymoonstar2680 One of the lowest fees right now for what you get: www.wyze.com/pages/wyze-cam-plus
What if I have 8 cameras and I ONY want to share one?
You can select to just share one camera. The othe person will still need to have their own Wyze account.
I have a problem with the video on my cell phone, I have an iPhone 14 pro max and I have to turn the cell phone upside down to be able to see the recording as it is supposed to be
Sounds like you might have inverted your image. Under advanced settings, see if rotate image 180 is turned on.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thank you watching the video i realized lol
@@JulioRodriguez-ug3tz Its all good. I have done things like that myself.
I bought this too. But unless you pay a monthly fee, you cannot view the notifications when they come up. I'm tired of everyone going to a subscription service to use their product. I'm done with Wyze.
I have been moving to Tapo. Price point is about the same, but still has lots of free stuff.
Replace the stainless screws connecting the camera and the bracket. They are junk and will rust out in less then 6 months. I have 6 camera and they are great, but the poor quality of the screws lets down a good package. Most of the reviews you see on youtube don't go past the first week, so take that from a long term user / customer.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Generally I don't mount these so I was not aware of the quality of the screws. I do normally use a camera for at least a month before I do a review to see what might come up with everyday usage.
Time 31-38 no audio
There is audio it is just low as it was only pickup the ambiate sounds.
Three of my cameras become in private mode by itself and I deleted, but now I can't set up again
Might need to reach out to Wyze about that. Sounds like some sort of bug.
This doesn't help my needs at all. I want to set up, outside upright. Do I glue it to solid service? Need more help with this
You can use the mounting plate to do that as well. It whould just need some createive angles for the plate to do so.
@Wanderer001 Reviews so glue the mounting plate to service. Awsome, then when I need to service, got to unglue
@@pittster57 Not glue, screw the plate down.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews onto a brick service?
I had this one for like 4 months it when out app bad not recording not letting me see anything 😏 crap
The front face of it fell off of mine recently.
This camera also breaks. I bought one and it didn't even last a year.
Como se conectan tres cámaras en un solo teléfono
Si todas son de Wyze, solo necesita hacer clic en el signo más en la parte superior de la página para agregar las otras cámaras a su cuenta. Después de eso, se podrá acceder a todas las cámaras desde la misma aplicación en un teléfono.
I plugged the camera in and nothing happens.
No lights or spinning camera?
I deleted the camera
But now I can't set up again
So.... your biggest complaint is not having a mounting sticker template? lol
Well I would like to say that is the case, but I did have a few other comments about things that were cons: 41:33
Wearing a mask inside your own home?
Yes I don't like showing my face on camera and it's the easiest way not to.
Great review. Too bad wyze has rendered this cams sd card useless! Once a fantastic product ruined by its own company without paying extra for cam+ this is basically a baby monitor you cant view your sd card no timelapse? There is at this point no use for a sd card! I will never buy a Wyze product again! This camera is a horrible waste of money! Shame on Wyze!
I have been moving my Wyze cameras over to Tapo cameras. Price point is about the same but Tapo does not make you pay a subscription for things like person and pet detection.
My probldm is with the cam pan v 3. All the v 2 cams have been good. The v 3 was good then in a software update they made it useless cant scroll through video on sd card, no timelapse. The forums are flooded with people having the same problem. Wyze has no answers and does nothing? Thanks for the info. I will check out those cams.
Are you REALLY wearing a mask outside by yourself? lol
Yup, I don't like showing my face on camera. Simplest way I know to do that.
Every since I bought mine and installed it, it loose WiFi single all the time that makes it worthless, my 2 other camera do not have that issue
Have you tried taking on of the other cameras off the network and then use this one? Just as a test to see if it is your access point or the camera.
