Product description

Cam v3 is the 3rd generation of Wyze’s flagship camera, Wyze Cam. Like its predecessor Wyze Cam v3 lets you see and record 1080p video right from the Wyze mobile app. New to Wyze Cam v3 is its waterproof design allowing for outdoor installation with an IP65 rating. Wyze Cam v3 also takes advantage of an all-new Starlight Sensor which allows for extreme low-light performance and shows great detail in the dark. With Wyze Cam v3's color night viewing, night time video recording appears as if it’s day time.

Buy the regular Wyze Cam V3 over the Wyze Cam V3 Pro
5 out of 5 stars
Buy the regular Wyze Cam V3 over the Wyze Cam V3 Pro
Pros:- Good image and video quality for the cost, excellent night vision- Can install MicroSD card for 24/7 video recording without paying a subscription fee- Small camera that is easy to install- App loads faster than other camera apps like Ring or Skybell- Can display camera on a TV using Alexa and devices like a Fire TV stickCons:- Must pay subscription for cloud-based storage- Video can stutter with moving objects- The Wyze Cam V3 Pro is not worth the extra money over the standard Wyze Cam V3Review:Wyze cameras are a low-cost option to add security cameras to your home both indoors and outdoors. I also use Ring and Skybell cameras which cost over two hundred dollars each, but purchased multiple Wyze cameras to cover additional locations for a lower cost. Installation does not require professional help as it can be as simple as sitting it against a window and plugging it into power to view outside your home (as opposed to hard wiring it outside or buying a camera that requires replacing a battery).The software allows the image to be rotated 180 degrees if hung upside down but does not include any other rotation options (e.g. for side-mounting). However, the camera comes with a built-in swivel mount to attach it in different orientations (including side-mounting). It can be secured with screws, adhesive, or through the built in magnet in the base.Image and video quality are good, especially for the price. The video quality is not as good as my wired Ring Floodlight Cam, but it still does a reasonable job. For example, the video can sometimes stutter or become pixelated with moving objects (e.g. moving car or person). Night vision is excellent and is better than my first-generation Ring Floodlight Cam (2017) and on par with my Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus (2021) but at a quarter the price. In low light conditions I see colour and can read my license plate in the dark with the street lights behind my car. In very dark conditions, I can see everything in black and white (even details like the bark on a tree). I can even see objects 50 feet away in the dark.The Wyze camera requires a subscription to save videos to the cloud ($3.55 CAD / month, or $24.99 / year per camera). In comparison, Ring costs $5.99 / month or $59.99 / year per camera. One advantage Wyze has over Ring is it allows you to install a MicroSD card (not included) to record and play back videos 24/7 without paying for a subscription. It also captures thumbnails to show when motion is detected which you can then playback through the app by viewing the MicroSD. I installed a SanDisk 128GB High Endurance microSDHC and it worked right out of the box without special formatting.Through the app, you can select which areas in the camera’s field of view to detect and notify you of motion. Unfortunately, I still get too many notifications even while using the Cam Plus paid service. Although I excluded the sidewalk and street in front of my house in my detection zone, the camera is still triggered by shadows (e.g. from cars or people) or sudden light changes (e.g. headlights). I use my cameras indoors to look outdoors through a window. This picks up a lot of light reflection from my room (I can see my own reflection) even when the camera is pressed right against the window. There is an optional Window Mount ($17.99), but I do not like the idea of sticking my camera to my window as I can no longer move it. Instead, I used electrical tape on my window to surround my camera by about 1 inch. This eliminated the reflection. Also be sure to disable your spotlight and Night Vision IR lights in very dark conditions as it can blind your camera due to reflection on the glass.There is no switch to disable the mic on the camera for privacy. You can disable it in the app to prevent sound from recording, but in reality, it can still pick up sound. For example, when I used my Fire TV Stick to display my camera on my TV, I could hear the sound in the room my camera was installed. To get around this, I put electrical tape over the mic hole which physically prevents the camera from picking up sound. I tested this by placing a radio beside my camera and turning my phone volume up to maximum. I could not hear the radio at all through the app once the mic hole was covered.Comparing the Wyze Cam V3 and the Wyze Cam V3 Pro:The review I wrote above applies to both the Wyze Cam V3 and the Wyze Cam V3 Pro. The differences are listed below.- Cost at time of writing: $44.99 (V3) vs $69.99 (V3 Pro)- Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (V3) vs 2560 x 1440 (V3 Pro)- Dimensions: Virtually identical (approximately 2 x 2 x 2” excluding the stand)- Spotlight: V3 sold separately ($24.99), V3 Pro built inAlthough the Pro has a higher resolution, from a practical standpoint it is difficult to see any real improvement in image quality over the standard V3 (see included picture comparison). In the app, the V3 actually operates faster than the Pro. For example, it takes an average of 0.96 s to skip 30 seconds backwards or forwards in the video for the V3 and 2.9s for the Pro. This is noticeable when you are trying to quickly skip through a video by pressing the skip button multiple times. This may vary with the speed of your MicroSD.The biggest disadvantage the Pro has over the standard V3 is that it does not work with Cam Plus Lite. Wyze confirmed that Cam Plus Lite will only work with cameras released before 2/1/2021. Cam Plus Lite is the original cloud-based video storage Wyze offered customers for free. It provided 12 seconds of video storage on the cloud per event. The Pro model only provides low resolution thumbnails (640 x 360) for motion events. This may not be an issue for some users as you can still use the thumbnail to playback video from the microSD. However, a thief can simply steal your camera to prevent you from accessing your videos making cloud based storage important if you want video evidence of a theft. Unfortunately, the thumbnails are too low resolution to make out details which limits its effectiveness as a security camera.Why buy the Wyze Cam V3 Pro over the standard V3?- You want a built-in spotlight- You plan to pay for the subscription and prefer the slightly better resolution- You have an extra $25 you’d like to donate to WyzeOverall, I gave the Wyze Cam V3 five out of five stars as it is an excellent option at a low-cost point. I gave the Wyze Cam V3 Pro three out of five. It is still an excellent camera, but not worth the extra money over the standard V3.

    Style: Wyze Cam V3 + Cam PlusVerified Purchase
    I've had this cam for a couple of weeks now. I bought it for my apartment balcony because someone was using a barbecue at night several times a week and the fumes were blowing into my windows. Barbecues are prohibited in our lease. I needed a good night vision camera to find out who it was. When I first got the camera I was very impressed with the crystal clear picture quality for both day and night. The motion detection is sensitive (it detected the bird in my photo). I also liked the many features in the app to configure motion sensing, for example you can set it to detect human activity, pets, etc. This camera is designed to be installed in many ways. I ended up using cable ties to strap it to an old speaker stand on my balcony.

    As soon as I installed the camera, the late night barbecue ninja stopped polluting my apartment. So they make a good deterrent. I also enjoy using it to see the view from the balcony. But tonight this camera really proved itself. I was watching TV and the cam's alert sound started going off every minute or so. I checked the event footage and saw that a balcony 100 meters away on the floor below me was completely engulfed in flames! Also, I could zoom in and see a person moving around among the flames. I could see that they were waving their arms around trying to get the fire under control. The camera had detected both the movement of the flames and the person on the balcony. This camera also has a web view feature, so I opened the footage on my large PC monitor which allowed me to see more details.

    I called the fire department and they got here within a few minutes. By the time they arrived, the balcony was engulfed in white smoke. I wasn't sure which apartment number it was, so I went out to meet the fireman and showed him the video alerts from the camera on my phone. He was impressed with the clarity of the video footage which allowed him to find the apartment quickly. Luckily when he got there the tenant had put the flames out on their own. The fireman told me it was a barbecue fire, which is why they aren't permitted here. He also told me I did the right thing by calling them. Tomorrow the landlord's getting an email with some interesting video footage.

    I'm so impressed with this camera that I'm planning on buying another one. Right now I have a competitor's camera system indoors (Blink), and they are vastly inferior to the Wyze cameras with a far more expensive subscription. I will eventually replace them with Wyze cameras as well. I also recommend the Wyze subscription, it's inexpensive and packed with extra features to configure the camera and its alerts.

    1. Cameras have excellent video quality both day and night, and the P65 rating is a must. Our temps range from -40C to +40 C, so cams that aren't P65 rated won't last long here.
    2. Just to make it clear, they need a power outlet. They are not battery powered.
    3. The Cam Plus subscription is a must if you want to be able to get a notification and immediately see what's going on. Without Cam Plus, you will get a notification every time a tree limb moves, a shadow of a tree moves, or a moth buzzes the camera (which happens constantly at night), so the notifications are useless. Cam Plus makes it so you only get a notification when a person, vehicle or pet appears, allowing you to have notifications on but not be notified all night due to moths. If you don't care about responding to notifications and your cams will be high enough that a crook can't steal them and their memory card, you'll be good with just the cam and a memory card to record events.
    4. The software works incredibly well and is very easy to setup. My only wish is that, when viewing a live view of a camera, I should be able to swipe left to go to the live view of the next camera, as long as I'm not zoomed in. As it is, I have to click back, back again, then tap the next camera to see its live feed.
    5. I've wanted security cams for years and this is the first one that combines the excellent imagery, the P65 rating, and the affordable price. Great job Wyze!

    Style: Wyze Cam v3 1080p - WhiteVerified Purchase
    I used the Wyze cam v3 as a security camera, I've installed it outdoor for 2 weeks and it's working just fine. The USB cable which came with the camera wasn't long enough to reach the outlet, I had to use a 16 ft USB extension cable. I was worried that the power drop of the long USB extension cable will cause a problem, but it seemed to work just fine.
    The camera has been reliable, it has been able to detect all people and vehicle movement, day time and night time. Wyze use pixel comparison to detect motion, as a result, any light reflection detected by the camera will trigger a notification. About 70% of the notifications are "false triggers" due to reflections of headlights from cars driving by. You can reduce those "false triggers" by setting the detection zone to a smaller area of detection, but in my case, I still get a lot of "false triggers" from light reflections. To get around the problem, you can subscribe to Wyze's Cam Plus service, which only cost less than $20 per year. With Cam Plus, you can select to get notifications from triggers by people, vehicles and packages. Without Cam Plus, you get 12 seconds video clip cloud recording with a 5 minutes cooldown period. With Cam Plus, you can have cloud recording of the entire video clip which triggered the camera.
    I put in a 64GB microSD card in the camera, you can set it to do continuous recording or motion triggered recordings. I have tried both settings and they work reliably.
    Wyze has Starlight feature, which means that you only need a small amount of light and you can have amazing color night time recordings. The night time video quality is so nice that I disabled the IR setting so I can get color night time videos. Even though the video quality is great, it's still just a 1080p picture quality camera, so don't expect to see license plate and facial pictures very clearly (I guess if you install the camera at eye level, you'll be able to see better. I installed mine under the eve trough, pointing downwards from about 8 feet from the ground).
    There is one thing I hope Wyze can fix in upcoming firmware updates. In order for you to "View Playback" from the SD card, you have first go to "Live View" so the camera can complete authentication before you can view playback video from your SD card, otherwise, you'll get a "no micro SD card installed in the camera" error message.
    Overall, I am happy with the Wyze camera. It's been reliable so far and have not gone offline by itself yet. Outside temperature has dropped to -2 deg C and the camera is still working fine.

    Edited after 1 month's usage. Sometimes the camera will go offline and you cannot do Live View or Play Back from the SD card. The only way to solve fix that problem is to power cycle the camera. During the 1 month's usage, I had to power cycle the camera 3 times already. Now I am wondering if the camera is a quality product or not.

    New Edit: I've had the wyze cam for a whole year now and it has survived the Canadian winter without any issues. The continuous recording to the SD card feature seems to be hit and miss. Even with the latest firmware, the recording will stop once the SD card is full. I have to format the SD card before the continuous recording will work again. It'll be nice if Wyze can send some sort of notifications to indicate the SD card recording is off will be helpful. Overall, very happy with the camera. I highly recommend it. Wyze has come out with Wyze Pro, with 2K resolution, can't wait to try that out.

    The Wyze Cam v3 is an excellent security camera, offering impressive 1080p video quality with great color night vision. The setup was super easy, and it integrates seamlessly with the Wyze app for live streaming and motion alerts. The color night vision feature is a game-changer, providing clear, vibrant footage even in low light. I’ve been using it both indoors and outdoors, and it holds up well in various weather conditions. For the price, the quality is unmatched—this camera offers great value and peace of mind. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable security camera!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The WYZE Cam v3 Pro is a Game-Changer!

    Style: Wyze Cam v3 Pro 2KVerified Purchase
    The WYZE Cam v3 Pro is hands down the best indoor/outdoor security camera I’ve ever owned! From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by the build quality and thoughtful design. It’s compact, weatherproof, and blends in perfectly wherever you place it—whether indoors or out.

    The 2K resolution is crystal clear, making every detail stand out. Even at night, the starlight sensor provides unbelievably sharp color night vision, which feels like magic. I can actually see license plates, faces, and small details that other cameras miss. The motion detection is spot-on and incredibly customizable, and the AI features like person detection and package alerts are a huge plus.

    Setup was a breeze thanks to the intuitive WYZE app, which keeps improving with updates. Two-way audio works flawlessly, and the siren feature adds an extra layer of security. Plus, the compatibility with Apple HomeKit makes it a fantastic addition to any smart home setup.

    What really sets this camera apart is its value. You get premium features at a fraction of the cost of competitors. It’s perfect for anyone looking to bolster their home security without breaking the bank.

    I couldn’t recommend the WYZE Cam v3 Pro enough—it’s a smart home essential!

    Style: Wyze Cam v3 1080p - BlackVerified Purchase
    La compré en una oferta flash a 329 pesos, donde tardaba una semana en llegar. Quedo excelente y si es compatible con Alexa, la cuestión es que la compatibilidad con la cámara es mínima, solo para poder observarla desde un dispositivo con Alexa instalado y poder decirle que te muestre la cámara, no más que eso

    La cámara en sí está muy bien, la mensualidad sencilla cuesta 59 pesos para quien le interese y tienes la opción de ponerle una micro sd, que si te dejara más limitado, pero me parece que también cumple un buen papel con la última opción

    Puedes determinar el perímetro que quieres que decrece, esto en caso de que la ubiques en un lugar donde solo quieres detección en un área determinada, la detección tiene un leve retraso domo de 2 segundos, pero nunca más que eso, puedes hablar desde el micrófono y se entiende perfecto, escuchar no tanto, pero no es tan terrible.

    También puedes configurar reglas, dependiendo de si quieres la detección a ciertas horas y luego que se apague, en ese sentido está bastante bien, creo que le faltaría un modo de merodeador, que te detecte si alguien está merodeando mucho la zona que determinaste como zona de detección

    También tiene un modo de detección de cara amiga (pero también de pago y en el plan más caro)

    En resumen, por el precio que la encontré, estuvo perfecto, creo que hasta por 600 pesos vale totalmente la pena.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not just "Google Compatible", actually shows live video in Google Home cameras
    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2023
    Style: Wyze Cam V3 + Cam PlusVerified Purchase
    I went through a bunch of security bulbs to avoid hooking up power outside, all said "Google Assistant Compatible" and all showed an error message that the feed cannot be viewed in the Google Home live view. This is probably wyze (get it?) from a cybersecurity perspective, to not allow all these random unknown vendors stream through the Google Home app, but Wyze Cam V3 is supported and it works. Installation was easy, I purchased a lamp socket separately, used the correct cable provided with the socket, and presto - installed and mounted the camera with the socket adopted into the Wyze platform. Connect Google Home to Wyze and the camera shows up with your existing Google Nest cameras in a grouped view, and streams all. Pro-tip: if you have a protective covering around the old bulbs, regular size bulbs may not fit, but amazon sells tiny E26 fridge bulbs that should fit into the existing cover along with the Wyze Socket. Brilliant, elegant, inexpensive solution that works!
