*My old camera started flippin out so i bought a **Newest.Technology** one. Was really excited about the talking feature but my friends said “we can hear your voice through the front door.”10/10*
Thank you for this information, I’m the type of person never to read instructions lol and I thought it wasn’t connecting but did not know it had a button under hahaha!!!
Just a suggestion in the future. Don't post qr codes generated for configuring devices like this (at the very least, blur them out. While it is somewhat encoded for the wyze cam stuff, it's still sending your wifi connection information, and less secure devices may not do that. Even still, eventually someone will figure out how to decode the wyze cam system to get the password eventually. Granted they likely would still have to be able to get your address to do any real harm, but the possibility is out there. Just informing you so you can try to stay safe. (While I don't think it's an immediate threat, you may want to change your wifi password just to be safe.) Past that, Thanks for doing the video, I appreciate it a lot :D
Thanks for that information. That has honestly crossed my mind before but I wasn't sure of the threat levels myself. I think I'll blur them from now on.
@@BigCVlogs Like I said, unless the person knows where you live and feels like traveling there, it's not a super huge thing, but if you use that password anywhere else, it could cause problems also. If you feel unsafe with the fact you've shown the qr code, then it's easy to solve by just changing the wifi password. I would definitely suggest blurring it or not showing it in the future though. :D
Thank you. Isn't it a shame that Wyze can't be bothered to publish a setup video? Their support site seems to have zero pix, zero videos for v3 mounting.
There's a HUGE community for their products. Lots of user videos. Not sure why you would need more? Lots of info on the Quick Start Guide and Looking around, I don't see many other companies having a video channel on how to setup their cameras. And mounting? So many different ways to do it. Egads... just can't.
Yes, you can share the cameras with another account but I would just say share your login. They will get more features than with sharing the camera to their account.
What is not obvious to the novice is that you actually have to pull the base away from the unit to see the SD card and setup, and if you are visually impaired, it is white on white.
I have Lorex wireless setup. It’s good video quality but the batteries died in a week. I have 7 cameras., and batteries don’t died at the same time., I end up charging camera battery almost every day. I can’t go on vacation because few camera batteries will dies. I won’t see anything on my second week of vacation. All batteries are dead. So wire is good option, I changed it to Tend security, which is wire and it’s amazing. I just bought 3 Wyze Cam Version 3, I gotta do unboxing then set it up.
I really like these. I have the Wyze Outdoor Wireless Camera and it has been lasting me about 5-6 months per charge. I wonder if the Lorex cameras are recording 24/7 and if that's why it's killing the battery. Not sure but I've used Lorex for clients in the past and they were great. (But it was all wired Lorex cameras)
@@BigCVlogs it was recording whenever there’s a movement. The longest battery is 9 days., that’s in the backyard no movement at all. The rest of the cameras are in busier places.
That would be really tricky... but I think it would work but only with an SD card in the camera. Once the camera is setup and the settings are in place, the device should locally to an SD Card but since it would not have the iPhone hotspot all the time, it would not send clips to the cloud. So if you installed an Micro SD card and enabled 24/7 recording in the settings, it would record and for you to view them you would have to enable your hotspot and should be able to view the history. This is my guess as I have never had a setup like this.
They were $20 when they first came out. ($25 with shipping) sadly since then due to the "chip shortage" and Wyze "including the price of shipping with the product" all Wyze products went up a good bit in price.
No, with a memory card it will still record and you can view it later. You just won't be able to view it on your phone or send events to the cloud. But the SD would keep everything as long as the camera has power.
It is optional. Without the SD card, it just records the 12 second clips whenever sound or motion is detected and sends set to to the house. With the SD card you can enable continuous recording, and rewind any moment in the day as long as that SD card is in the camera.
@@BigCVlogs Please send the link to the video about using the windows simulator. Thanks in advance. This was a great video, my cams arrive tomorrow, I appreciate this video
I have never tried it... But they are both the same power rating with Micro usb port. So I don't see why they wouldn't work, it should work perfectly fine.
Sadly this version does not have a battery. It has to be plugged in all the time to work. The Wyze Cam Outdoor is wireless with a battery. I've made a few videos on them. They last 5-6 months but I also tested a solar panel that works with them so you never have to charge them.
For some reason my Wyze Cam is just flashing red and has weird static noises, I changed the power brick Voltage and also even used an adapter for 220 to 110v still doesn't work.
I take the time to warn everyone so you don't end up in the same situation as mine. Purchased 6 cams at end of April after reading raved reviews and watching positive videos.... We are now in August and I have 4 cams showing the "Red LED Of Death" (no flashing, factory reset can help this). Those cams are bricked just by simply using them (no power outage or poking around to try to do something fancy or flashing or anything... Simple most basic usage... Filming.)... To make matters worst since I am Canadian Wyze won't honor their warranty. Come to your own conclusion. Personally those 6 cams were my first and last Wyze purchases. Definitely not going to buy anything from that company. 4 cams out 6 is not just a fluke. This is serious Quality Check issues. You have been warned.
@@bananapeehole782 Call it whatever you want. FACT is those cams are bugged and do get bricked and it is in fact a known issue at Wyze. (Don’t take my word for it and have a look at Wyze community forum). Thankfully “IIW” in Wyze support forum managed to come up with a fix that Wyze themselves couldn’t… But hey what do I know about anything… When you get to the point that fixing the V3 requires a modified “Jefferson” script to be ran in a Linux shell to access the Jffs2 filesystem because somehow a config file (that you typically don’t have access to) gets wiped out…. I can certainly call it bull….. Have a nice day.
No, this camera doesnt have a battery. So this camera has to always be plugged in. The Wyze Cam Outdoor has a battery and can be set anywhere the signal can reach.
Sadly they have changed the pricing since I bought this product last October/November. They were $20, plus shipping so normally around $27 or so. Since then Wyze changed the prices to include shipping so the cameras are bit more expensive. This allowed the website prices and retail (Home Depot, Microcenter etc.) To be the same price. Since then I have stopped putting prices in my videos lol.
Friend, I looked through the manual of this Wyze V3 and I didn't find anywhere talking about memory card capacity. Do you know how much it supports, if only 32GB or more?
@@BigCVlogs Thanks for the feedback. Strange because it recorded to a 32GB card, but it's not recording to a 64GB. Curious that when you open the card settings, it shows that it is filling the card, occupying empty space, but it doesn't record anything. Does the region interfere? I'm in Brazil, São Paulo.
Massive security issue that has been known by Wyze since 2016 ish and they did nothing about it, except bury it. Don't remember if the V3 is included but all previous versions are hackable. Please google it. Other than that good setup guide.
I was looking for an outdoor camera to keep an eye on my dogs in the yard when I'm not home. ru-vid.comUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe Tried a different one that was absolutely terrible, so I got these instead. They work perfectly! With 3 of these cameras I can see every corner of the yard, and they were very easy to set up. The best part is I only get the footage I want to see, not hours of videos of the bird feeder swaying in the breeze.
