Cam v4 (Latest Model), 2.5K AI Security Camera, Indoor/Outdoor Cameras for Home Security, Baby Monitor & Pet Camera, Vibrant Color Night Vision, No Subscription Required

Super great product. Compact. Great image. Versatile with several different customization options. Easily adjustable. Works with different mounts. Motion detection works great. Super easy set up. Night vision is clear. Lighting is great. App is user friendly. I know have 3 in my skunk enclosure, and they work so great together! One problem I have is that when you share the device the person you share with has full control -- not like a view only option.

Mostly easy to set up, Wyze app is very handy and customer support is excellent. I just found one buried in the chick brooder/coop-last seen or used almost 2 years ago-plugged it in and it worked perfectly. I use v4 cams to monitor chicks and pets indoors and protected outdoors. The picture quality is great and the night vision is pretty impressive. Although I don’t suggest mistreating as I have, it is a tough little device and I highly recommend. (I am not a Wyze subscriber, so I have no long term data storage. )

I’m very impressed with this camera! The video quality is extremely clear, even at night, and the setup process was quick and easy. The motion detection works great and the notifications are very helpful for keeping an eye on my home. I also love how compact and modern the design looks. The app is user-friendly and makes it easy to check the camera anytime. For the price, this camera offers excellent quality and features. Highly recommend!

I've never been one for the whole home security system idea, unfortunately it seemed like a good idea after a few packages being stolen, cars getting broken into, and a hit and run on my car. I was pretty skeptical about this company and their cameras, but after having them up and trying them out, I'm really happy with the ones I have. This one I believe is one of the newer cameras released, and it's definitely my favorite. From customizing things in the app (spotlight, having it either beep or say "your being recorded" when it detects something, and a bunch of other things.), and being able to talk through it or use a siren, and get notifications about anything from people, cars, pets and the random raccoon that sets mine off overnight, packages, and even Smoke, CO2, Gunshots and glass breaking?!?! I'm fairly impressed. I also was monitoring mine over the 4th of July to see if it could distinguish between a firework and gunshots and I think it was pretty accurate (my neighbor occasionally "fires his gun for rent control" lol) cause it picked up about 3 instances of "gunshots" but idk if it was true or not. It also has a "zoom" feature that you can lock if you want (although I think it's still fairly new and has some issues), license plate detection (which only works within a certain distance), and pretty decent night vision (legit looks like daytime to me lol) and decent video quality. It's also pretty easy to set up. If you're using the app, I recommend setting it up prior to installing it in its forever home. And mounting it is super simple, you can either use this magnet or screw it down wherever. And there are add-ons you can get for wherever your mounting it (longer cords, window mounts, ect). I'm pretty happy with the company, I like my cameras, they make a ton of different cameras and home security stuff, so I would check out their website for more details and information. They also run deals and discounts on both Amazon and their website, but I think Amazon has faster shipping than they do.

Main thing, these are good quality cameras. Very small and compact, easily blends into its surroundings and not easy to pick out as a security cam. Picture quality is outstanding and feature set is unbelievable. So for what it's made for, it's a great get for the price. The description is a bit misleading though. Read through the specs and features and it sounds like you're getting all these features out of the box....INCORRECT. You get those features if you pay for a monthly cloud subscription. That is all well and good, but that should be in the descriptive copy, easy to find before purchase. Now, other negative reviews say that you can't record activity without paying....that is not true. You can if you use a micro SD card. Finding the recorded clips isn't straightforward though. When you get notified of movement and open the app, it shows the live view at top and a cascading list of alerts below. Tapping those events pulls up a still frame from the alert period and tapping the play button below that prompts you to subscribe. HOWEVER, you can back up to the main screen, tap the SD shortcut and get a list clips that correspond to those alert times and then play back the recorded video. That allows you very basic security features without subscribing. One big issue there is that there is a 5 minute cooldown period between alerts. Meaning if there is an alert at 10:00, the camera records 30 seconds or so of video, then it won’t alert again until 10:05 regardless of what happens in front of the camera. On the surface, I get that limitation, however I can also see where it could bite you…..a bird flies in front of the camera and alerts at 10:00, then some jackleg walks up and kicks your door down and steals your stuff at 10:02. Guess you’re out of luck. One other bit of info that isn’t given – this camera is billed as indoor/outdoor, which leads me to believe I can buy one, take it out of the box and mount it on the side of my house. Seems straightforward, but no…it comes with a cheap, cell phone type charge cable and wall plug and the first page of instructions says ‘for outdoor use you need xxxx outdoor power supply’….which of course is $20. So your $30 camera turns into a $50 camera if you want to use it outdoors. That’s fine, but say that in the description. I’ll keep these and use them….will just keep big SD cards in them so I can actually play back clips without paying extra. The app seems pretty feature rich (if you pay) and works well. No problems so far. One feature you do have access to is setting notifications and how sensitive the alert features are for movement and sound, so that’s a good thing. So for very basic security cameras, these work fine. Also, if you’re OK paying per month for features they’re very good. Otherwise you might keep looking.

First, I use a wide variety of camera makes and models. However, years ago I discovered Wyze and their low cost and easy to use with good video (for the time) security cameras. I bought 12 of those over the next year of them first appearing, including the Pan an V1 versions. Note that every single one of these cams STILL work, even the ones outdoors (with the silicon protectors on them) and been running just fine till this day. However, once we hit v3 and v4, and the new Pan cameras, two of the pan cameras I just recently bought, they either failed at waterproofing (despite me making sure the rubber doors were secure and they were under the eaves to protect from direct rain) and one just died and took a SD card with it. This was a Pan cam in black. I replaced it with a v4 gray stationary camera, not even a month after using it it no longer will connect to ANY network no matter how close or distance. I have a dedicated network for my POE, other brands and Wyze on a high end router and extenders where needed. Then I bought two more white latest version of the Pan cameras to put on either side of my house garage door, and these had protective domes above them even though they are "waterproof". Let's name them G1 and G2 (which is what they are called). G1 is on the south of the door which faces West. G2 is North of the door still facing West so that they can cover by motion tracking (G1) and pan scanning (G2) as I get a LOT of deliveries. On the front of my house there are 6 Wyze cameras and one Amcrest (which never has failed in any manner). Right now only G2 out of all 6 front porch and garage Wyze cameras have stopped working or stopped connecting to any network even if I take them down and reset them and use a different network (I have 3 networks running through my property here). The Black Pan Cam that was on the SouthWest corner of the house (still the front) died after being filled with water despite sealed and not directly in the rain. G1 just has stopped connecting yet seems to be still "operating" on its own following around. Trust me I have tried different extenders, networks, and the next is high powered POE extenders that have a huge range but so far it won't connect to anything. G2 still works doing it's Panning job but as with ALL Wyze cameras your chance of actually keeping a connection and watching what is going on is IFFY at best. I replaced the SW Black Pan with a v4 stationary camera. A couple of months later it now no longer works or won't connect. A few feet east of it is a Wyze camera that is supposed be watching my parking area, it too has stopped working. I have another v4 on the front porch above the locking mailbox (which is secured to the side of the house) and it watches nothing but the front porch as shipments come in and I finally realized it TOO is now not working. What is going on? All the "newest" versions of Wyze cameras SUCK! They keep failing. I have one more pan (covered from rain) on the NE corner of my house watching my gate entry between my neighbor and my home. It stopped working. (sorry for the long post but it continues) Now note that ALL my old cameras but one (a first generation pan cam) are STILL WORKING. One in one of my buildings rock solid watching who enters the building. Another one above my Lab building door watching who is at that security door. A first generation PAN cam with a silicone cover and mounted on an older Pan Cam holder, under an eave is still, after ALL these years of it being out in the rain, snow, storms, tornados and the like WORKING JUST FINE! All the first generation Wyze cameras all still work even the ones I have stored in a box I pulled out and tested, no problems. I also pay a monthly fee for all my cameras to be on Wyze's "advanced software and AI stuff" subscription for all the cameras. Lot good it actually does! That will be turned off very soon, and 32 Wyze cameras including the old ones that still work, I will be dancing around a bonfire with them melting and posting it to YT. I have invested hundreds of dollars in new Wyze cameras because I liked their simplicity and decent video quality, and that they worked. But since Gen 3 nearly every camera is failing while Gen 1 and 2 are doing just fine. I wasted that money, plus the infrastructure to connect them all to the network expanding it (something I know how to do very well) and they all get solid signals. I have tested over and over again. Now I have at least 6 "new" and "improved" cams that are worthless. They can't even watch a rock sitting still 2 feet away without dying. Naturally Wyze doesn't have a great warranty that I am aware of and some now may be out of the warranty but since Amazon started really promoting Wyze and they got popular their quality has gone drastically down. I didn't want to spend thousands on high end cameras when I THOUGHT Wyze would work just fine, and even switching some of them to different networks (the ones that didn't physically fail) to take the load off thinking that might be it, well even a brand new high end router with long range and three satellites can't keep them connected if you can connect at all to them. So to all new customers I saw, "LOOK ELSEWHERE" for a decent camera cause you cannot depend on these cameras when you NEED them to work. I haven't heard from Wyze at all on the matter despite numerous emails. I would rather spend $300 to $800 per single camera KNOWING it's going to work rock steady and not fail anytime soon (AS IT"S CRITICAL FOR ME) than spend a few hundred on cheaper and cheaper lack of quality builds all because of "new tech" in them (which the high end cameras also have AND have better video quality and can recognize license plates). So it's in your hands now Wyze. I doubt you will do a thing because you sell in BULK, not quality anymore.

I’ve tried a few different brands of security cameras over the years, and honestly these have been some of the best value for the money. Setup was quick and painless, and the video quality is surprisingly good for the price. Streaming has been smooth and the clarity is more than enough for keeping an eye on things around the house. The Wyze app is also really solid. There are a lot of settings and customization options without feeling overly complicated. I also like that with the Wyze Cam Unlimited subscription, adding more cameras is easy and doesn’t get expensive fast like some other systems. Overall, if you want a good quality camera system without spending a fortune, these are definitely worth considering.

This little camera is top notch. I was against cameras in my house and then we got another cat and wanted to keep an eye on him while he was in seclusion or not ready to be with everyone else. This camera did not disappoint. Now we got another because my boxer doesn't want to be in a crate anymore. Picture is great and I have never had any issues

Great clear pictures. App user friendly. Like the motion recordings. Subscription reasonably priced.

I’ve been a long-time Wyze user — currently running four cameras, a doorbell with wireless chime, a door lock, and a sprinkler controller. The Wyze Cam v4 (2.5K) is my newest addition, and it continues to prove why this brand has become my go-to for smart home security. Setup is quick and painless. From unboxing to being live on the app takes just minutes. One of the biggest reasons I prefer Wyze is that you don’t need a subscription to use its features. I record locally to an SD card, and it automatically overwrites when full — simple and efficient. Some users mention they couldn’t record without a subscription, but I suspect that’s a misunderstanding. I’ve never had that problem. Connectivity has been excellent. The only time we experience issues is when our internet itself is acting up, not the cameras. In the screen recording I attached, you can see our “Front Door” and “Front Yard” cameras. The v4 loads noticeably faster than the older Wyze models, though the older ones still perform well. (The garbage bin in front of the lens? Courtesy of my kids.) We switched from a Lorex system about five years ago, and the difference was night and day — literally. The colour night vision on the Wyze cameras is incredible compared to the old grayscale, washed-out footage from the Lorex units. When I transitioned away from the Lorex setup, we were even able to reuse the existing 24-volt wiring that was already run through the house. I stepped it down to 5 volts, and it powers the Wyze cameras perfectly. That saved a lot of work and extra cabling. While these cameras are IP-rated, I still recommend installing them out of direct weather. Ours are under the soffits and have survived -40°C winters without a hitch. The Wyze app offers plenty of customization options — remove watermarks, rotate the image 180° for upside-down mounting, record sound, set up automations, and more. It’s well worth exploring all the settings. We don’t have much crime where we live, so the cameras mostly capture funny moments — slips, trips, and the occasional driveway disaster. Still, I’ve shared footage with law enforcement before to help confirm false calls, which shows the value of having reliable recordings. Just make sure to keep your firmware up to date. It’s easy to do through the app and ensures stable performance. Rating: 5/5. Wyze continues to impress — great video quality, quick setup, reliable performance, and no subscription needed. A solid choice for anyone who wants affordable smart security that simply works. TL;DR: The Wyze Cam v4 delivers excellent 2.5K video, local SD recording, reliable connectivity, and colour night vision that blows older Lorex cameras out of the water. We’ve been using Wyze for five years now, powering ours off stepped-down 24-volt wiring — no issues, no subscriptions, just dependable performance year-round.

Good clarity,

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.

great little camera that performs really well, particularly at night. very sensitive, dare I suggest too sensitive? you can alter the detection zone, as with a lot of cameras more expensive than this. I have some old cameras, of similar design, but with a different branding, that went out of business - have tried to install the Wyze software onto those old cameras, but without success to date. would highly recommend Wyze camera’s, shame you have to order them from the US, but a great value purchase nonetheless.
