WYZE Cam Pan v3 Indoor/Outdoor IP65 1080P 360° Pan/Tilt/Zoom WiFi Smart Home Security Camera, Motion Tracking for Baby/Pet, Color Night Vision, Works with Alexa&Google Assistant, Free Expert Setup

Got two of these after I wasn't finding anything I liked for a new baby monitor. The fact these are always running but connect to our phone is a lot nicer than carrying around the parent unit of our old monitor, which we also needed to plug in often as it's battery life was terrible. Plus, once we don't need monitors anymore, I can use them as actual security cameras.These have a very nice, modern look, and the build quality is actually great considering the price, I expected these to feel a lot cheaper. They have a full range of motion, which is a massive boost over our last baby monitor, which didn't move at all. They also come with cords and a power adapter, which is great since many companies stiff you in this area, expecting you to pay for adapters or use others that you already own (looking at you cell phones).I'll preface this section by clarifying that we're using these in conjunction with an audio only baby monitor. This is because my wife wanted something that would quickly play the sound in each room if it heard crying. To be clear, the camera will play audio just fine, but having the app open constantly isn't ideal, and when it's not open it sends notifications of a sound or motion event. The speed of these notifications is very fast, but the sound isn't enough to wake us at night, wheras the sound of crying wakes us up fast.When the camera detects motion, it's default setting is to track the source until it stops moving or leaves it's view. This is incredibly cool and a great feature in a security camera, but for a baby monitor, it's less great, at least for older kids, as they'll be drawn towards it's movement and either be scared of it, or try and play with it (if it's reachable). I turned off the motion alerts so the camera remains fixed wherever I point it, and I can move it in the app if necessary.For sound alerts, as I said before, they're quick to notify you if the app isn't open, and the sound just plays if you're viewing the camera. There is actually a setting to have it trigger alerts on crying sounds vs other sounds, however this feature is locked behind the subscription service, so I was not able to test this. Regular sound alerst work pretty well, and didn't trigger for our ambient noise machine, but it did for loud cars going by (we get a few annoying drivers late at night) and once for a train horn in the distance (bit surprised at that one, but speaks to it's mic I guess).The app is nice to use and fairly straightforward, and you can easily view multiple cameras at once, and select one of them if you want to move the camera or hear the audio. You can also create a widget on iPhone (and I'm sure on Android as well) that links directly to the camera feed, so you don't need to swipe around looking for the page or folder you put the app in, open it and then open the feed, rather just swipe to the widgets and tap the button to jump right to the feed. If you have two cameras, you can have both there and swipe before tapping to swap between.Overall very nice cameras, they make great baby monitors on their own or coupled with an audio monitor, and for a far more affordable price (even with a two kid audo monitor, and two of these cameras, it came out almost $50 less than a two camera baby monitor on the cheaper end).

Great cameras, use them daily. Really like the cloud service and they work without any fees with short cloud clips or full replay if you purchase separately an XD card and set it to record to it. I like the set scanning option, though you can't choose how long it stays in one view. But, you can program from 2 to 4 locations to scan and it will spend equal time on each. The night vision is amazing and the regular picture quality is great. Note that these are wide field cameras and won't really be able to ID a license plate unless right next to the vehicle.They work entirely on wifi and no special configuration is needed (very easy to setup with a smart phone and the app). You can also share the camera with others so they can see what's going on as well (without them having to pay anything). Have been using for more than two years and more than a handful of these.Full disclosure, I did have one fail (out of more than 6 at the time). It was during a hurricane and was directly struck by lightning. My other cameras were also outside and directly exposed in multiple hurricanes and did not get struck. They work fine still. I have used them in the free mode and they work great. However, I like the extra features enough I pay for the extra service and think it is well worth it. But I like being able to go back to free if I want.

I cannot say enough about how great the WYZE cameras are and how easy it is to set them up with all the great features wyze offers on the app and now you can log in from your computer and see all your cameras in one screen, new AI pilot for recorded events has been another gold star to the WYZE system as it lets you type in keywords like red car for my purposes and it pulls up all the events where a red car was spotted. The wyze cam plus is such a game changer for the price to let you add an unlimited amount of cameras to your account and have the features that the other 2 popular competitors charge a monthly fee for with WYZE its a yearly fee and its just a no brainer to take advantage of it but they also have a monitoring feature that allows you to add 24/7 security monitoring from WYZE ( its an add on subscription service that is also totally worth it ) in which you can tag people who are authorized to be in your home or work and once set up if any unknown or suspicious individuals are detected the team from the security division will alert you and have police respond to your property.At work we have our loading dock that would need to be manually opened and this was a hassle to always find someone close to the dock area to open it or it would make our concierge team leave the front desk to walk to the back of the building and we have deliveries at all times of the day and night so we had looked at upgrading the door opener or running a dedicated door opener to the front desk area which both would be expensive so we came across the WYZE smart garage controller which was so easy to install and resolved our security issue of having our concierge team step away from the front desk to allow deliveries to take place.The video quality, sound quality, and night recording quality is outstanding with night vision mode ON or OFF and full color night recording with even the tiniest amount of light available is such a game changer when it comes to identifying any security concerns.The cameras are so easy to install and set up on your WIFI network but the biggest plus for me was that they allow you to use MICRO SD cards to store footage locally to review any time so you are not paying the monthly fee for cloud services and also will record 24/7 or events at your choice with the added comfort of knowing that with the SD card even if internet signal is down the video will still be captured and can be viewed once internet services are back up or by taking the MICRO SD card out from the device to view directly from your tablet or laptop. There is also solar panel attachments for all the cams that will allow you to save a bunch of $$$ if you needed to monitor areas where a dedicated power source is unavailable.WYZE cam systems are the best in the game and you will love the new level of comfort added to your home or work areas that will definitely not break the bank.
