WYZE Cam Pan v3, Indoor/Outdoor IP65-Rated 1080p Pan/Tilt/Zoom Wi-Fi Smart Home Security Camera with Color Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Compatible with Alexa & Google Assistant, Free Expert Setup

Best security cam and it's not even close. The tracking is something you'd really think wouldn't work well or would break, but this is my second camera...I have had my first one for almost 3 years and it still works perfect. All my cams are outdoors rain or shine, and mounted under eaves. The tracking works excellently (and mind you is automatic or can be manually controlled), you don't need to pay for a monthly plan if you just throw a cheap micro SD card in it (it will let you watch continuous history on the app that way), and the app is really intelligent and all of their settings make a lot of sense - such as allowing it to move but having it default back to a certain area. I get less false alerts with these than other cameras, but it reliably tracks anything that goes past it. It also uses audio to pick up on things outside of frame and lock onto them, which is a really unique feature. I used to use another major household brand but switched all my cams to Wyze after finding that my 1st camera was far more useful than the 5 cameras I had from the other brand were. I had another MAJOR brand fail to capture video of someone literally breaking into my house at 3 different camera points due to lag, and my Wyze camera was upstairs (which they never made it to thankfully, my dogs spooked them) and it was the only camera that triggered, because it saw the light flash from the front door down the stairs as they exited. They walked right in front of 2 cams from the other brand in my backyard and a doorbell cam, and the lag and motion detection was so bad that the 2 rear didn't get them and the 1 front recorded AFTER they passed it. And I was paying for their premium plan too. I ditched them soon after and got this and several other Wyze products. Mounting is easy and these things never disconnect from the internet either, and notify if they do for an extended period of time, and will still record with the micro SD. The image quality in daytime is excellent, and their night time quality is second to none. Doesn't just capture IR, but gets colors at night too - which is rare for security cameras. I also think they're nice because they're more intimidating than normal security cameras. They light up when they aim at you & their motion tracking is unnervingly accurate and hard to escape. I have them mounted in positions that would be impossible to avoid, and high enough that it would take a serious amount of effort and a ladder to remove them. They are not wireless, but let's be honest it sucks having to replace the batteries every 2 months on those cameras anyways - these come with flat cables that slip right under windowsill cracks and garage door gaps and other places. Idk how they're priced so low considering they don't demand a monthly payment to provide good functionality & offer superior functionality to every other similar product on the market, but hey I am not complaining because them being priced reasonably gives me an excuse to keep getting more of them. My old cams were maybe $5 less than this each and required a $40 module to even work properly and a $15/mo subscription, and they provided probably 1/5 the value of this camera. Make the switch, you won't regret it. And no, I don't work for them or anything, I just really like these cameras!

Bought two Wyze cameras - this one and the stationary cam v4. The tilt on this one is nice but I honestly keep it stationary most of the time so prefer the higher-quality stationary ones, but my use case is also on-demand monitoring and the space is small enough that the camera doesn't need to move. So if you've got other needs - security or a large space, this is likely a great choice. Just know that 1080 quality does start to look a little underwhelming over distance. Gonna copy/paste what I said about the other camera: 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.

For the price this is an excellent camera. It has a lot of available features with a very intuitive app. It allows you to tweak camera options and personalize them for your needs. The picture quality is excellent. I was so impressed by the first one that I bought a second one. There is one big drawback to me and that is you have to pay subscription fees to get all the features. It does come with a free trial for some of the features but I absolutely hate having to pay a subscription fee to use them and this is just not one subscription there are a few that's you can use that are quite expensive. That is the biggest drawback to this camera. Overall very impressed and think this would be a good buy for somebody looking for an inexpensive cam.

Easy to set up. Good quality

Wyze pan tilt v3 came but is not powering despite trying all kinds of different connections

The cameras are great — small, compact, and easy to use. They feel well-built, made from what seems to be high-quality materials, and come with features that exceeded my expectations. Mounting is simple and hassle-free, even though is not including a mounting sticker for the bracket. The Pan Cam V3 is not upgraded version and does not supports 5G WiFi, only 2.4 which is a big downside because many routers are combining the 5G with 2.4 and this camera will not connect to a combined network . It's user-friendly and performs well overall. However, there are a couple of downsides on the hardware side: the motor isn’t super smooth, and there's occasional lag in communication with the app. When manually controlling the camera via the app, it moves in steps rather than smoothly. That said, auto-tracking is very smooth and works well. The sensitivity for motion and sound detection is adjustable. Now, while I’m really satisfied with the product itself, I’m not happy with the service and the way the subscription plans are set up. There are only two paid subscription options if you want to actually use most of the features. The free tier gives you virtually no benefits — just snapshots of events and basic live view functionality. The Cam Plus plan (about CAD $24/year) only covers one camera per account, which I find quite limiting. If you have 2, 3, or more cameras, you need to pay for a separate plan for each, which in my opinion is not worth it. The other option is Cam Unlimited, which costs nearly CAD $200/year. This one allows you to connect unlimited cameras and access all features. In my opinion, the Cam Plus plan should at least support up to 5 cameras and unlock more features — maybe not all, but certainly more than what’s currently offered. In short: I really like the product itself, but I'm disappointed with the app and the paywall system behind it. Great hardware, poor software/service experience.

The product is a game-changer! 😊 I get regular alerts, making it super easy to keep an eye on the baby – no hassle at all! 💕

Resumen 2024.01.01: Excelente camara con funciones varias sin pagar. Compre 2 camaras (para empezar). Me interesaba el "360". Las camaras vienen bien protegidas. Trae camara, cable, cuadro de energia (5V 2A), manual, chilillos de montaje, base para montar en pared/techo. De inicio cuando las conectas se mueven, bajas la aplicacion y fueron faciles de instalar y usarlas. Por defecto tiene activado el "Track Motion". Le puse una memoria de 64GB. La app es facil de usar y entender. La camara se ve de buen material, se ve bien hecha y resistente. La calidad de grabacion es decentemente buena, puedes cambiar a 360 o 720. Los movimientos al girar la camara son suaves, puedes ver las grabaciones facilmente, acceder a ella rapidamente, grabar videos o fotos, puedes darle zoom, poner zonas de grabacion, configurar horarios, eventos, soporta IFTTT, eventos por geolocalizacion (al parecer solo USA y Canada) y otras. Las funciones avanzadas las desconozco, ya que son de paga y basicamente son: guardar en la.nube, sensores de reconocimiento avanzado, acceder por la pagina web de Wyze y otras que no.recuerdo. Las voy a poner en el exterior y te sugieren (obligado) comprar un adaptador para exterior. Si tienes conocimientos basicos puedes hacer tu propia "caja" para poner el cuadro de energia cerca de la camara. Finalmente, soportan el protocolo RTSP, el cual te permite usarlo con aplicaciones de 3ros, NVR y/o Home Assistant, incluso como camara web. Solo que lei que aun no sale.un firmware para este modelo, seguire leyendo e investigando. 2024.01.11. Con una memoria de 64GB graba aproximadamente 5 a 11 dias. La exterior tiene 5 dias La interior tiene 11 dias Ambas configuradas de la misma manera (HD, grabacion continua, sonido, eventos, vision nocturna). Supongo la diferencia principal es que con luz graba a 20FPS, y en modo nocturno graba a 15FPS, asi que la interior casi siempre tiene menos luz. 2025.04.20. Ya tengo 8 de ellas. 6 instaladas, 4 color blanco y 4 color negro. 5 en el exterior y 1 en el interior. Las funciones gratuitas son mas que suficiente para usarlas. Estan configuradas todas para grabar 24/7, tienen el firmware mas actual y andan muy bien las 6. Como mencione anteriormente, les hice "adaptaciones" para ponerlas en el exterior ya que no quize gastar mas y comprar el "adaptador original para exterior". Las tengo compartidas con otro usuario y ademas las uso con Alexa Echo Show 5, solo se pueden ver 2 al mismo tiempo. A las exteriores les ha pegado sol directo de mas de 37º, lluvias ligeras y fuertes, aires fuertes, polvo constante, tela de araña y quien sabe que mas y andan bien. Sigo recomendandolas.
