5.0 out of 5 stars Another Improvement in the Wyze Product Line

2026-01-22    -mikecart1

I've been a loyal Wyze customer since generation 1. Each new version of these cams work a little better and the image is slightly sharper and clearer. The v4 is no exception. They are cheap, but effective and having security cameras around the home. I recommend getting a large sd card so you can run these off the memory card and have footage the past few days in case you need it for something.

Ive had Wyze cameras for years, they are well made and seem to be dependable. There are some occasional problems but very few. Most of the problems are due to power outages more than the camera. They are easy to set up, the quality of the video is very good with it being 1080 resolution or better. Sound quality is adequate, considering the size of the camera, (about a 2 inch cube)there is just not room for a high quality mic and speaker. Not great quality audio, but adequate. These are super easy to set up using the Wyze app on your phone. You can use the app to view the camera feed and even share it with someone so they can view too. There is an option to pay for cloud storage or you can use a micro sd memory card too. I've been pleased with my cameras, switches, and bulbs.

Excellent little camera which works well with the android app.

Budget friendly + easy install + excellent resolution = great choice for home security

The media could not be loaded. ⭐⭐ I’m impressed!!I purchased two of the Wyze Cam v4 (2.5K HD) cameras about four months ago, and overall I’m very happy with them. Below is a breakdown of what works well and what I’ve noticed.What I Like:1. Image quality & night vision:The clarity is excellent, even in low light. The color night vision is a big upgrade over older security cams I’ve used (Lorex). I can make out faces and details at night. I compared this to my Ring Doorbell 3 Plus that I reinstalled at the same time as these, and it’s not a comparison at all. The Wyze (to be fair, it’s newer and has more advanced technology) is much clearer during the day, and especially at night. At night, the Ring only works for items up close and rarely catches movement more than about six feet away.2. Indoor/outdoor flexibility:These are weather rated (IP65), so I’ve used one outside under a covered porch and one on the eve of the house. The one on the eve is exposed to so much more weather, and is handling it like a champ. They handle light rain/dampness just fine (so far)…snow is coming; we will see about how that is!3. Motion-activated spotlight + siren:When motion is detected, the LED spotlight and voice warning kick in. Both are optional and you can shut them off, but having the spot light turn on is lovely. This light is bright enough to avoid putting on our outside light at night. This is helpful as a deterrent. The siren is fairly loud, but not something I require the use of.4. Setup & app usability:Setup was straightforward. The magnets on the bases are amazing, plus each cam comes with permanent mounting hardware. I have yet to use the permanent mounts; the magnets are prefect. The one cam is stuck upside down to a metal piece under the eve, and it’s stayed through crazy wind and weather without issue. The other is resting on a screw on the handrail of the deck and it doesn’t move either.The Wyze app is intuitive, and switching between my two cameras is seamless. The dual audio (two-way) works well when I check in.5. Value for money:For the features you get (2.5K resolution, weather rating, color night vision, motion alerts, etc.), this is a strong value. I feel like I got “more cam for the money.” Who’d have thought for $50 I could get a great quality security camera?⚠️ What I’ve Noticed / What Could Be Better• Power / wiring limitationsThese are wired cameras (not battery based). If your location is far from a power outlet, you need to order longer cables. I had to order a couple of 20 foot cables separately since I didn’t have an outlet 5 feet away. This was a bit of a hassle.• Motion detection false positives:Occasionally, I get alerts from shifting shadows, or leaves/branches blowing in the wind. And sometimes I get alerts from rain. Let’s not forget spiderwebs and the odd moth. The detection isn’t perfect. You’ll want to fine-tune your sensitivity settings and zones to reduce false alerts. During rainstorms, I reduce my sensitivity a fair bit so if a still get alerts but not hundreds over a short period.• Latency / lag:There’s a slight (or sometimes a little longer) delay (a second or two, up to 5 to 10 seconds) between motion and when the live feed shows up. It’s not a deal breaker, but worth noting if you’re expecting instant response. I suspect this is due to my Wifi and not the cameras/app themselves. I did not want to wire any camera with Ethernet direct again, so this is the cost of using wireless, in my opinion.• Subscription vs local recordingTo get advanced features (person, package, pet detection), a Cam Plus subscription helps. But if you don’t want to pay, local microSD recording is viable, though you lose some “smart detection” features. And this was the basic subscription I got, not the Cam Unlimited Pro. The Unlimited Pro actually recognizes faces you have saved in the app as family/friends (which makes notifications of people a lot easier), allows you to search with a search button for specific events (rather than scrolling nonstop), 60 day cloud backup (vs 14 on Cam Plus), etc. I didn’t need this feature, but did want cloud backup so I chose the Cam Plus.💡 Tips / Best Practices l• Place the camera at about 7–9 ft height (2–3 meters); high enough to reduce tampering, low enough for good detail.• Point the motion zone toward typical movement paths (walkway, door, driveway) to reduce stray triggers.• Use decent microSD cards (if using local storage); go for brands with good write speed and reliability.• Test the setup at night after installation to ensure the color night vision works well where you place it.In summary:If you’re looking for an affordable, capable camera for both indoor and outdoor use, the Wyze Cam v4 is a strong pick. Between my two units, I haven’t had any major issues yet, and I feel confident in their performance. Of course, like all cameras, they aren’t perfect; but for the price and features, I’d recommend it.

Truly an amazing little camera, especially for the price. The picture clarity in both regular and night vision is seriously outstanding. We had a few of the earlier models and while they were decent, this newer model is so much more clear. The ease of use is a huge plus as well. We have multiple camera systems in our place and this is used as a backup to monitor things. It's perfect and the price is a bargain. Our main system is slightly better on the clarity, but it cost a small fortune. I'd love to see WYZE come up with a complete system for homes and apartments down the line. This is highly recommended.

Wyze Keeps on Getting Better

Much improved clarity compared to previous and the spotlight not only provides light but as it is motion sensitive it acts as a deterrent.Clearly recorded an intruder at 4am and aided in his apprehension.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great camera for the price. Detection zone adjustment doesn’t work.

2026-02-26    -Mary Wachowski

Easy to setup. Good quality pictures and videos. If you want the “Ai” to work (it tells you if it sees a human, car, dog…etc) You need to pay for the subscription. If you want it to record when it detects movement. You need to pay for the subscription or just buy a SD card for the camera. I did not purchase the subscription and just got a SD card. It detects movement and records the video to the SD card well. If you’re using it outdoors. You need to buy the outdoor cable separately.I’d give this 5 starts. But the “detection zone” you can adjust simply does not work. A google search verified this. It constantly picks up cars driving by and it shouldn’t. I have the detection zone set to not detect the street and it still does. But for the price it’s still a good camera.
