Decent video quality
Good value, video quality is good. Setup is easy and works well in App with older vintage Wyze cameras. Great buy when marked down for special sales.

LOVE Wyze cameras
Better than the $200 baby monitor! Clear picture in both day and night time settings, easy to set up, picks up noise and motion. Easy to use from phone when away from the house as well!

These work great when they work, just remember to…
I waited a while to write this review because, while these cameras and the phone app were great when they worked, the whole system would go offline inexplicably usually after two or three days. None of the fixes mentioned on the Wyze website or in forums helped. Apparently, lots of people have the same problem. Needing to restart the hotspot every few days to get things running again shouldn’t be necessary. This was super exasperating, and I was in the process of rigging up a contraption to automatically restart the hotspot every day (just a timer won’t do, it needs a manual button press too). Then, on my own, I discovered what I think is the fix. In your phone (Android), go to Settings, Apps, Wyze. Open Storage and Cache, and then Clear the Cache. I check my system a few times per day and clear the cache at least once a day. Since doing this, the system hasn’t failed – it’s been a few weeks now…knock on wood. Apparently, just like on a computer, everything can slow down and come to a grinding halt if cache gets too full, and I guess if this happens with Wyze it triggers a timeout and knocks the system off the network. Wyze needs to let people know about this. Other than that, another minor complaint is that the camera view sometimes says it’s “Live” when it’s not. Sometimes you need to refresh the camera view to get it to actually go live. Also, once in a while, recorded video can’t be retrieved from the network. Not sure what’s up with that, network is strong and stable…maybe something at Wyze’s end. All in all, while there is room for improvement, the system is very easy to set up and works well now.

Superb
I Like How Crystal Clear The View/Picture Was. I Sat It In The Corner Of My Room And Captured Everything. Even The Slightest Move I Made. The Motion Detector Is Wonderful! The Camera It Self Was Actually Bigger Than I Expected. Itâs A Nice Size For The Price. And Definitely Well Worth It. Havenât Tried Any Other Features Yet.. But I Will. All In All.. Great Camera.

Great quality and value:
I bought these two on sale and they allow micro as card for recording. The quality at 1080P is good enough for me and it seems to be at least as good if not better than the Blink cameras. I can definitely recommend, especially on sale. My only complaint is it took nearly 7 weeks to ship and then around 10 days to receive after shipping. I have Prime. I am seeing this happen with more and more orders and it’s a rare event to receive in a couple days. I no longer see any value in being a Prime member after renewing every year since it started.

The camera is just fine… but the Cam Plus service will frustrate you!
This review isn’t really about the camera, but the “optional” service provided by Wyze, Cam Plus. Honestly, there isn’t much difference between this cam and similar cams on the market. The one I had before this might have arguably been better, but it was somewhat big for my needs so I got this one. Also, I wasn’t happy with motion tracking for my pet. They Wyze OG camera construction and quality of the camera is good, however you need to use Cam Plus and/or a SD card to get any real benefit out of this cam. This is where my aggravation comes in.When I first got the camera, I setup motion tracking. Now, its important to note that I use this to monitor my bearded dragon. The AI for these cameras typically expect you to be monitoring a cat or dog, so I turned off the “pet” and other “smart” events because it wasn’t working as expected and just set up all motion for event tracking. The last camera didn’t catch any of the lizards movement, but the Wyze cam actually tracks movement and occasionally even labels him as “pet”. I was happy with this , but lately the service is only catching the beginning and ending of movement. For example, it catches my lizard approaching and leaving the food bowl, but does not show me if he ate or not. I assume this is because of a “cool down” period in the motion tracking.This wouldn’t be a major issue for just pet tracking, but I can see how this has security implications. You could see someone approach and leave your house, but miss them actually stealing your packages! For my needs, this is an issue. I am writing a book on pet nutrition and I need to be able to observe my pet eat the food I make so I can take notes. Simply knowing he went over to the food bowl does not help. In other words, I need this for research and Wyze is failing me.To alleviate this problem, I bought an SD card. Now all activity is captured but my problem is not resolved because it is very slow to review the footage from the SD card and if there is a way to speed up playback, I do not see that option. I have tried scrolling and going to the exact time that I know activity happened and still I see nothing in the footage. The timeline will tell you there are events, but not play them. You have to click on the number of events icon to open up a separate even slower timeline that will eventually display what I’m looking for. I haven’t done so yet, but I suspect my only way to resolve this is to record the section of footage I know the activity happened at from the SD card, download it to another application, and then view it at the speed I want. That’s too much work when I’m already paying for Cam Plus. A simple “jump to” command where I can enter a time and view what happened then, would go a long way.My last issue with Cam Plus is the application and web view. The web view sucks due to a lack of features and its the one I use most often to monitor my pet. Unlike my previous camara and accompanying service, I cannot record, take pictures, etc. from the web view. This can only be done in the app. I wfh and am at my desk all day with web view open. If my lizard does something that I want to capture I have to open my phone quickly and hope I can catch it in time or just record it later using the process described above. Another issue is having to log in to web view every single time WITH multi-factor authentication even though I only access it from the same computer on the same network every time. Recently, a “Remember me” option was added but stopped working after a week.Generally, I am happy with the camera but extremely frustrated with the Cam Plus service. I’m going to stick it out because I have already invested this much, but if there isn’t improvement soon I will be looking for a new camera and service. For those of you who haven’t made the investment yet, I recommend spending more time researching the Cam Plus service instead of the camera. Again, its a camera, it will do the job it was made to do. But like any camera, how you use it and the tools it uses (Cam Plus) make a huge difference.

Me gusta que se puede poner en la pared, es práctica y tiene buena imagen. Es fácil conectarla y configurarla.

Son muy buenas cámaras, el ángulo es muy amplio y tiene una imagen muy limpia, la aplicación es muy sencilla pero práctica, el único punto negativo pero corregible es el guardado de videos en la SD, use 2 diferentes adata y jamas las leyó y cuendo compré las de su marca funcionaron sim problema.

The WYZE Cam OG is an absolute game-changer! I’ve been using it for home security and it’s exceeded all my expectations. Setup was a breeze, taking just a few minutes to connect to my Wi-Fi network and sync with the WYZE app on my phone.The picture quality is surprisingly sharp, even in low-light conditions, thanks to its night vision capability. The two-way audio feature is another standout, allowing me to communicate with my pets or loved ones when I’m away from home.One of the best parts about the WYZE Cam OG is its affordability. It offers features that rival much more expensive security cameras on the market, making it accessible to anyone looking to enhance their home security without breaking the bank.The WYZE app is intuitive and user-friendly, providing easy access to live footage, event recordings, and settings adjustments. Plus, I appreciate the option to expand storage with a microSD card .Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my WYZE Cam OG. It’s reliable, versatile, and affordableâa winning combination that I highly recommend to anyone in the market for a smart home camera.
It’s great. I’m using it to track sleep but got two more for the house –
Good cameras.
