Good review! I just got 3 of them. I put one in the shop so I can monitor my CNC and 3D printer from my phone inside the house. I put one in a front window and one in a back window. So far they've worked great and been really handy to see when packages arrive, or when people come and go. We would like to be able to disable the mic though. There is a setting to record video only, but the mic is always on when anyone you've shared the camera with is watching live. Ours are shared with everyone in the house, so anyone watching live can hear conversations. Just have to be aware when talking about presents or private stuff. There are cases you can 3D print from thingiverse to protect them outside, although they are sold as indoor only cameras. Night vision doesn't work well through windows. The cables could be longer, so plan on buying extensions depending on where you put them.
Just a little correction ... they don't have smoke detector or CO detectors built in .... they can detect and react to the alarms of each and send you notices if you set that up.
I'm trying to setup the wyze cam v2 for the second time and the camera just isn't responding, the first time I was able to carry out the setup without any hazzels. How do I setup the camera again ? The part where the camera responds ready to connect is where I'm stuck at. Kindly revert.
just got them myself; they have to be plugged in and meant for indoors. but amazon has a little house you can buy, some people have talked about in reviews. i plan to try that
Lori Parks yes a housing can be bought from a guy who uses a 3D printer. I’m assembling mine now, I learned of it all from my brother in law who has several operating outside.
I put a Wyze under the eaves of my shop, has been a couple weeks now and no problem even down to -25* C. They don't have an outdoor camera right now but have said they'll be releasing one by the end of 2019.
got them all up and running, have no issue connecting remotely. shared them with girlfriend and relatives, they have no issue either, some across the country. Love em. idk about Yi Home cams honestly.
*Correction: the Wyze Cam does not have have smoke and CO detection, it only detects the sound of the smoke alarm or CO alarm.
Thanks Andrew! I was wondering how these cams can do CO or smoke detection when I saw your helpful note!
lol I was about to say that

Can you set up the cameras to two different phones? So my husband and I can both see the same feed?
Yes you could, just follow the same instructions and you both will be able to see using your own phone, hope this helps
Adorable kitty.
this is great, so glad to learn about this
Great review! Keep up the vids man.
Have u had any issue connecting to the wyze cam when your away from home and on your cell network..?thats been a known issue..
I'm asking myself the same question.
Thanks, very helpful. How’s it powered? Does it have any weather resistance?

Trying to get new cam set up on OPEN wifi (no password) and cant seem to get past where it finds my wifi and asks for password. ??? Help
Can I wifi direct to set up
what is the night vision quality at 20-30 ft??
Thanks for the info!
Thanks .👍👍
good video man thanks
ur review was perfect.
Didnt talk about the battery. How tf do I check its charge?
Is this wifi or do you have to have 12V power?
The camera needs to be electrical powered but then uses WiFi for connectivity
Are they weatherproof? Can you use them outside?
They do have outdoor cams, the regular are not outdoor but I believe the outdoor are only 50$. full pan and tilt capability from your app also

Great..thx for the update..
hi, can you invert the image ?
Yes in settings you can invert the image 180-degrees so you can mount it upside down
It seems more like a feature overview than a review, to be honest.
Dang, I don't have a smartphone so this camera is useless to me :(
12 seconds
5 minute stop. 😑🥴
Nice video but please ditch the background music.
Doesn't look like 1080. Looks like crap.
the background music is irritating
It is a piece of garbage. I bought last two months, but every week has some issues. It is very cheapest, but not a good product.
