Wow... I'm so amazed how easy and simple to let know how this items work. I need to buy this item for my place. This is my first time watching your program. I can wait to see more...
Wyze is absolutely amazing. Love that company and everything they make.
I was a video retrieval specialist for the FBI... I have retrieved thousands of video from various surveillance systems... This is a unbelievable system for the price.. I am very impressed at the ease of all the products.. Wyze please don’t start charging for a cloud service..... You will definitely bury the drop cam if you keep things going ...👍
5 cams $20ea + 5 32GB SD cards $10 ea + 3 Sense kits $20 ea = only $210! I am so impressed with the Wyze App, how well all of these products work and the professional customer service I received via the online chat feature. And to top it all off.... NO monthly subscription fees!!!
I wish I was the venture capitalist who fronted Wyze with $25M. These three former Amazon employees are going to steal the entire market share in this space once their outdoor cams become available.
Agreed, and rumor has it they are coming out with weatherproof cameras and light bulbs soon as well.
I’m actually really impressed with all of their products and the functionality as well as support.
Great idea.... love this...
Thank you for sharing
I was also shocked as hell when mine came. So much smaller than I thought.
Those are amazing! Thanks for letting us know about them!
wow! amazing review!
Awesome product!
Got mine in the mail 2 days ago but seeing what others are using them for. Good vid
I’ve been seeing all kinds of stuff.... I really liked the person who used there’s to know when the mail carrier came.
Yeah I'm trying to see what I would use them for. I already have motion sensors and door sensors in my house with frontpoint.
Great video! How is the back sticky part still holding? If it were to fall due to weather or just wear and tear how would you reinforce it? Considering a few but not 100% solid on the sticky situation
Very helpful, thanks 👍
THIS IS AN AWSOME PRODUCT..
I LIVE IN CANADA B.C
IM DEFINITELY GETTING THIS
I’ve been really been liking the cameras and sensors. They have a door lock coming out soon too!
Love my wyze cameras! Wouldn't go workout then at this point... And they are continuing to add features.
wut
Can you have more than one sensor connected to a single camera or is it a 1 to 1 relationship?
nice video! 2 questions- What type of battery does it use and what's the lifetime on it?
Wyze makes incredible things, hope they don't over reach.
Can you use your smart phome or do you have to be on line
Cool...thanks!
Beyond the notifications, can I go into the Wyze app wherever I am and determine the status of the contact switches (i.e. is a door open or shut)?
Yes, and you can even set a "left open" notification if a door/window/etc is left open for longer than a specified amount of time. I love them!
You can imagine the pain to replace the batteries of these little things
I feel that the concept is good, and there should definitely be one for everyone. However, I feel that they should have offered a better way to charge the battery or add a reusable charging feature. So that leaves you to junk the product and buy a NEW one after the battery expires. OR damage the product by opening it up and replacing the battery yourself. Just something to think about.
Oh no! No wonder it's so inexpensive.
Everything Wyze is awesome.
I remember when they made awesome affordable thin clients.
I like doing the agreement programs. Ive used Brinks and now after 3 years my price was lowered to 40$ a month. im month to month full monitoring service with great cameras and sensors. They have technitions come by just to upgrade my equipment for free without raising my bill. I enjoy the security after i got broken into. Plus i never need to worru about replacing or fixing it. It all is done for me for free and I get 15% off my home owners insurance. Its not much lol, but hey its worth it lol. I do enjoy what this system brings for its price though. WYZE seems like a good system fore sure on a few other things inside the house.
I agree, we have a traditional alarm on our house, but the wyze cameras and sensors still serve a purpose and have a lot of value for the $$
Where do you have the link for how to install the screen door? I don’t see that link below. and where did you buy the screen door? TIA
What is that screen door you have that appears automated?
Does it require internet?
Any idea how long the sensor batteries will last and how hard they are to replace?
It is said for one year and it is replaceable.
I put a door sensor on my garage and in winter in -20 it started indicating low battery. I replaced with brand new battery and now the home camera is not detecting the sensor. The red light flashes when the 2 parts of door sensor and moved or separated from each other but no notifications showing up ie sensor is not getting detected. Any ideas how i can fix this?
I just wanted to make sure they are good, I'm buying it!
Ease of install, however, one sensor (front door) notice on app stays as "Open" and does not clear to go to "closed" status as the other 2 I have installed... they all show the same device info i.e. signal strenght battery normal, plugin version same.. any feedback as to why it won't change back to "Closed status" on front screen of app?
I had a similar issue. The two parts of the sensor were close enough together. I removed the sensor and reconnected it via the bridge and it worked fine.
It's so cute
On your front screen door, the contact sensors don't seem to align perfectly, the bigger piece seems to be pushed back a little, has this been an issue for you so far?
Nope, when I was playing around with them they seem to trigger when they get about a 1/2 inch apart.
Cool screen door what is it?
How long battery lease
Does it matter if the sensor is on the outside of the door or inside?? The inside of my door has a molding that isn't quite flush with the door
It hasn't made a difference for me. I will mention the sensors aren't 100% waterproof though.
Do you know whats going to happen to sensors now with the V3 cam that dont have USB on the back?
Good question! I've been hearing that wyze will be putting out a stand-alone hub, but haven't seen anything official yet.
Here we must pay 50€ and more for the cameras ....
They are really good
I am waititng for the sale to start for these. I missed out on the pre-order :(. I am going to try to set the motion sensor up in the rr so that during certain hours it will trigger led lights. A Pee light of sorts.
Its back again in sale for $20
What’s the max range for sensors to the camera?
How many sensors can you pair with one bridge? Couldn't seem to find that info on Wyze's website either.
Another reviewer gave the number of 100
Can you do a video to show how you change the batteries in these sensors?
can you use this on neos camera?
Any updates 8 months later? How they holding up? Any pros and cons?
I assume you can only connect at 2.4 GHz wireless frequencies not at 5GHz?
sabugdalantx I believe you’re correct.
Hi
would you please show how they are powered?
What kind of wiring is needed? for the cameras
Thanks
Alexander
Alexander there's no wiring needed. It comes w everything you need: USB, power adapter and wyze cam. You just place it where you want to
The Wyze 3 is out and doesnt have input for Sense. Are they being discontinued?
My understanding is that they are being replaced with some thing that has a hub.
In Minnesota where temps can get pretty brutal in the winter, how will it work mounted outside in below freezing?
Its an INDOOR camera.
Check out the video in the pinned comment. We testing these cameras out running them inside a freezer for several weeks.

is this any tech similar to this that has a alarm system as well?
-you DO NOT want an iOT alarm system. and you should never, ever put iot cameras inside your home. ever.
I have this in my home. I like their cameras, works good, great value. But the window sensor and motion sensor has give up after a year or so. I'd buy more cameras in the future
Is the motion sensor you put outside water proof/resistance?
Resistant, I wound the put it somewhere it would get directly rained on
Looks like the Wyze Sense is unavailable on their website. Also, is there some kind of alert when the batteries are low in the motion sensor and magnetic sensors and how does having that "hub" affect the speaker and microphone in the back of the camera? Looks like it covers them up.
They were only available as a pre-order for previous customers. Wyze said they will be selling them to for everyone this month sometime.
@@Resist4 I heard from another person they (Wyze) plan on releasing them on May 8th. Hoping so.
Will it record without wifi?
How do the little sensors get power?
batteries
I need help installing this camera for my front door given that it requires a usb connection to work? It came with very little instructions
The best thing to do with these is to download the app, the app has all the instructions in it. It will walk you through the whole process.
Very interesting! I am terrified, I have thief, i saw him at 2 AM and it frightened me, now i can no longer sleep during the night! they come by the backyard jumping my fence. Since I don’t have a lot of experience with my iPhone 📱 and setting a surveillance camera, could you please teach the details to connect the camera with the iPhone?
I imagine I have yo have WiFi, right?
Thank you.
Thanks for the vid. Have bought the starter kit myself. Now wondering as per your experience, how far does the sensors reach from the hub?
It has a lot to do with what’s between the sensors and the camera. I made it through several walls and about 100ft
Yes very good distance. My hub is on a camera in my livingroom and I have sensors in my garage (4 walls and about 110 ft away) and door sensor on my shed at the back of my property which is about 260 ft away and 1 wall to go through. That sensor doesn't have full signal but it has been working for the 4 months it's been installed.
Wao wao wao wao nice great job
I can't say for sure but i'm guessing that the magnet held sensors might fall off the door if closed or slammed with a bit more force? can the sensors be fitted with screws??
They’re not held on with the magnet, they use 3m tape.
@Elia....you can use Velcro, like what is available for picture frames/hooks--also 3m products in the "Command" line of things.
Does the door sensor require a replaceable battery?
Yes it does, so far mines lasted a year without running out though.
how often do you need to change sensor batteries?
Wyze says they will last about a year, but they’ve only been available to the public for two weeks so that hasn’t been tested in a real world application.
Wyze says they will last about a year, but they’ve only been available to the public for two weeks so that hasn’t been tested in a real world application.
So wize they don’t work with 5 G 👀
Isnt the magnet "sensor" just a reed switch?
Yes but also includes a wifi 0/1 transmit linked to the software which also triggers a text message. But yes you are right the actual trigger mechanism is a Reed switch. Man oh man for the price you can't ask for more.
FYI, the window/door sensors will work up to a 1 inch gap before it trips.
Good to know! Thanks!
So someone can still break into your house as long as they can fit within a 1 inch gap.
@@Staki6908 - they take one of the little refrigerator magnets out of their pocket and stick it on the sensor.
Hi there just wondering can we use the motion sensor for garage door? Thanks
You can, though Im using one of the contact sensors on the door and it's working well.
@@DoItYourselfDad I was told motion sensor is heat not contact so it wouldn't work
Trying to set up LED lights in my stairs.. .with motion censor at the top of the stairs and at the bottom, can you help?
Try to use IFTTT
All wyze product? If the bulbs and sensors are all wyze it's pretty straight forward however if the bulbs are not you will have to use ifttt as a middle man between the sensors and bulbs.
What is the range of the sensors
It’s going to vary a lot with how many layers of wall you have to get through. I’m going throw three to six walls and still getting it 100ft or so.
The door sensor should be installed inside, to prevent tampering. All they need is a magnet
All well and good but are these cameras still using servers in China to store video? If so can they be disconnected and just be locally monitored?
They can be, there a people that have been using them as LAN cameras and running software on a PC in their house to record footage.
Also Wyze states that the short recordings are store in Amazon AWS Servers, not some random Chinese servers. However yes, there is a new RTSP firmware that you can use to connect it to an NVR.
based on your examples, these examples are weather proof?
I wouldn’t call them weather proof, resistant at best. If you put them outside I’d make sure they were under eaves so they don’t get hit with rain.
Do they have a outdoor camera yet and when do you expect one?
I keep hearing it’s in the works, but nothing yet. Check out my other videos for the outdoor housings for these cameras.
Wyzecam works really good outdoor too. Am located in Canada and even at -35C it worked perfectly normal. I have it under the eve on front and back .
cool
That screen door is cool, got a link for it?
We did a video about it, check it out: Costco Genius Screen Door Install Tips th-cam.com/video/uD58eU6-ptU/w-d-xo.html
I wish I'd seen these cameras before buying..
I was expecting to see what happens when the sensor is triggered. Do you see or hear something on a monitor or your phone, or what?
You get a notification on your phone/tablet that has the Wyze app.
Hi, I bought the sensors but the problem with the motion sensor is that its not recognize immediate motion, for example, I put it in my mailbox and when the mailman put an evelop it doesnt recognize it
Are you sure the sensor is still connecting to the hub from inside the mailbox? If the mailbox is metal it could be impeding the signal.
@@DoItYourselfDad no, I'm sure it's connected
Only drawback is the location updates for each cam going back to home office.
Allows the chinese cruise missiles to zoom in on preferred targets during final confirmation of flight. Really like the product but, if you live near power plant, base of some sort have to consider why the are so inexpensive. hooway hooway
plus they are about to get more $$.
Well made fyi vlog ty
Your tin foil hat is on too tight...
@@DoItYourselfDad lol
What is the battery life? Are they replaceable?
Advertised as 1-year battery life, and they are all replaceable.
I am trying to understand the purpose of the new motion sensor.. If the camera already comes with a motion sensor.. why do you need this extra one? - I get it will trigger the camera to start recording...but so will the integrated motion sensor in the camera.
I used it in my side yard, I put the sensor low so it would trigger when a person walked by, it eliminates false alarms from bugs at night. A more useful use of the sensors would be using them to trigger the Wyze light bulbs or the Wyze smart outlets.
Why would you put the door sensors on the outside?
It’s a screen door... and a retractable one at that. It’s not there for burglars, it’s there for the cat.
FYI, Wyze runs off the AWS servers... so, the day you need it to really work will be just one of the many days when the AWS system is having a meltdown. I lost track of how many times since July 2021 we were screwed because of those AWS outages and so we gave up. Luckily, a lot of the stuff we bought had a 180 day return policy so almost of it went back. Wyze is cheap for a reason. Just be aware of that.
Ok
You never talk about BATTERY?
Lu Cho claim 12 months battery life
@@vladimir509 Not exactly - depending on how often these get activated. I am averaging about 5 months of use before batteries need to be replaced. However, low use ones are still going strong at 11 months.
How about this for a car?
Sure if you have WiFi in your car, or if your using it close enough to your house that the WiFi reaches. I’ve been thinking about using these for my camper parked in the driveway.
DoItYourselfDad if it had sim card slot for data that would be very cool
Does this have night vision as well?
The wyze cameras do, yes.
How do these do in harsh winters? I'm in Indiana
These haven't been on the market for a full year yet so it's hard to say. They may be water-resistant but definitely not waterproof. If you were to use them outside I would make sure they were under some sort of eve or awning.
If we are talking about the home security system, surveillance cameras, and smart locks, it will be all different purchases and management will be from different applications. But now they have developed very advanced and easy-to-use applications. Suppose I have a wireless home system at home, if you are interested, you can go to the Kangaroo website, yes it is a direct sales site, but also there is detailed information and consultants who will help you with your protection.
Ok, I see there an "RTSP" firmware. Can one install that, and then setup and configure these without ANY dependence on any Internet connection? No "accounts" on any "servers", just local network connectivity ONLY?
Pretty sure you can, i personally dont give a crap if big red china is watching over my house, i need to monitor it when out for business travel and if i spot anything bad i just call my local pd non emergency and their response is really fast.
How do you find the battery life for the sensor so far?
Sensors are rated for a (1) year battery life. It will notify you when a battery does get low.
@@georgepettit1861 replaceable or get new ones?
@@razorseal Replaceable.
razorseal they are replaceable. And readily available at most hardware or big box stores or Amazon.
Hey! So practically and I guess I’m slow.. I have one camera, does that mean if I get the sensors, I still only need one camera? I have Simply Safe also but still trying to DIY mom my life lol also trying to not pick up feedback from my sons computers games and the kids rooms.. oye! 👍🤦♀️
Yup, you only need the one camera. The hub plugs into the back of it. We've got Simplisafe as well :-) .
Why not have an all white camera and all white sensor for white surfaces.. same for black surfaces
What does that small camera looking unit do?
It’s a motion detector.
DoItYourselfDad thanks
what's the point if it can't be screwed in.
Took months for the wyse cam v2 to get to UK now they've almost sold out. I can get then wyse sense shipped here from USA for $70. Guess we're gonna have to wait another 5 years for this great product to get here at a reasonable price.
Sadly Brexit madness is screwing Custom tax payable on overseas purchases.... charged by Royal Mail and customs revenue £40 non-refundable before delivery of a spiral bound paper calendar valued at $5.50 size/weight didn’t matter (calendar 20cm x 20cm) ... dread to know what customs would be on this setup.
I checked the price now is 100$😀
No monthly payments just alerts phone ?
Yup, you can also set it to trigger your cameras to record. They are coming out with lights as well that will be comparable with the sensors.
1:10 in we got the same watch!!
How do you like yours? I love this thing!
@@DoItYourselfDad does everything I need, great price, looks sleek too. Winner!
I wonder how long the battery operated motion detection and opn/close sensor lasts it was never mentioned and can you replace the battery in both sensors if so and they last long it will be a killer security system. I own 2 Wyze Came so far installing the second one tomorrow 8:24:2019 I'm impressed with my front door Wyze Cam so far. I went to buy one at Home Depot that has displays for all major higher prices Cameras except this one, I found they have 60 in stock online in the store in Brea, Southern Ca!ifornia found that they haven't setup a display for them the clerk said but I knew they wanted to sell the standard over priced security cameras for more profit. If the standard customer was a security camera with included 32GB Micro SD included for just $34.99 they would kill all sales of the other over priced Cameras is my opinion why they haven't displayed them.
You can replace the batteries, wyze says they’ll last a year, I haven’t had them long enough to kill the batteries in them.
@@DoItYourselfDad Thank-You for your response I may get those sensors later on.
They're so reasonably priced I wouldn't even worry about the battery. Batteries are expensive specially when you're talkin about special types of batteries; the type of battery that would go in one of these sensors for example. Once the battery died I would just buy a new sensor kit. I own a wyzecam V2 I have had it for about a year now and I absolutely love it. Soon I will be picking up these sensors and maybe try the light bulbs as well. Nice video by the way I am a new subscriber. One question real quick. What is the difference between the wyze cam V2 and the motion sensor? Is the motion sensor you put outside? Is that actually a camera as well? I know the door clips sync with the wyze cams
CAN you alarm and disarm the sensors?
Yes you can from the app
Yes you can from the app
Yes, you can turn the sensors on and off from the app.
Since the batteries are irreplaceable, how often would i have to purchase an entirely new kit? Sounds like bit of a hit to the environment btw. Great review nonetheless. Thank you!
Wyze has a newer version out that is more of a security system, with replaceable batteries. I'd take a look at this system: amzn.to/3LxJEKB
how get the sensors powered?
