This camera also works with tinycam pro just like the V2 does.
Wyze Cam V3 is a very impressive camera for $20. It is packed with a ton of features that I have never seen fit into this price point. It is not the perfect camera, but you really cannot beat it for this price if you are looking for something to look over your property inside or out.

Here is the unboxing and setup video: ruclips.net/video/93elgty4MLI/видео.html
*I have had the **Newest.Technology** system since they were initially released (over 2 years). I love the ease of use and they work well. Batteries last a long time too. I have added cameras as needed. I love the 2 way communication with this one.*
I know I can use sense sensors to trigger Outdoor cam. Probably work with the v3.. how I got rid of reflection with light inside the house was closed the curtains.
For the issue with trees or plants moving in the wind, you can use the Detection zone grid in detection settings to reduce false triggers.
I just set up my new v3; however, mine doesn’t have an option for “HD Max”-only up to “HD.” The v3 also has the latest firmware. Is there a setting I’m overlooking? I just installed a 32GB microSD card, and it formatted correctly. My WiFi is broadcast through an Orbi mesh system with two satellites. Thanks in advance for any insight!
Can the v3 be hooked up via low voltage? I have pre-run wiring from a security system but would like to use these instead of paying the higher price from Guardian.
I can't get my camv3 setup. On the setup it tells me that it can't find the specific network. What do I have to do to connect?
Thanks a lot about your introduction and comparison. But I have a question about Wyze Cam v3, I want to use this camera on my unmanned boat to see the area and record its vision when I need to. Is this camera can gives me this ability? Is it possible to start and stop recording with program? Is it API camera?
I'm updating as they die out. My front yard cam died and it was Daisy chained from the front door cam.
I plugged the new v3 yard cam into the old v2 door cam for now. I'll have to come up with something else when the v2 door cam dies and I lose that Daisy chain.
Hi will the mini sd card get you more then the 12 second footage without the 5 min cool down or do I need the 1 year subscription? Is it worth having a mini sad card and the subscription ?
What process should I do for this action: start recording automatically at 12:01 am each day and end the recording at 11:59 pm the same day and save that video automatically. In that way I would be having a video of every day of the week. It's possible? how can I do it?
Have you seen Wyze's new window mount that essentially gets the lens right against the glass? It looks like it shields from the surrounding light.
Can you recommend a solar panel that can be used with it
Can I use my tv with a firestick to monitor the V3 camera?
Nice review. Now I think I will buy this one. I was getting so confused as to which to buy with all the cameras out there. I only want mine for my front window looking out to circle driveway. This will work. I’m not happy with my previous camera. Thank you for a great review.
Nice review Taylor! Here's my issues with these Wyze Cams (I have multiple V2's) ... the audio sucks (I have a Kasa cam as well and its like night and day difference) and the latency or delay in notifications is way too long. I want to see "what" is happening "when" it's happening, not 19 to 20 seconds AFTER it has happened. (which has been my experience with my version 2's) Again my Kasa's notification lag time is 6 seconds on average. What's your experience been with the V3 with these two features? (if they fix that I'm all over this version!)
Thanks for the vid im putting in my order
Glad I could help
Really good review
Are you sure the attached power cord on the wyze v3 will transmit data for internet connection and power? And does wyze have a PC Windows program that allows you to live view more then 4 cams at one time like the Yi cams...?
I have confirmation from a wyze rep that it will transmit data and power. I do not know of any windows app that works with wyze natively
How to have separate alert sound gloria
I can't setup it because of network, my home 5 g but wyze need 2.4, so returned it
Show how to insert an card . Doesn't fit . Are the stripes face up or down? With camera sitting upright. Gloria
and can you make v3 wireless, maybe solar connection or soo?
Does it have time lapse features?
Great video 👍🏻. Question, when I have the SD card in and on continuous recording, can I easily see on play back when motion was recording rather than scanning and watching the entire videos? Thanks.
I have the same exact question. Can anyone answer?
@@AcatnamedGoose hi Sean, yes it works exactly as if you had no card. What's good is that if you have a notification you look at the time then go View Playback and you can see before or after, it's awesome. The only way to go!
Is a cell phone the only other thing needed to use this camera?
The 24/7 continuously recording with no sub is a plus. That’s all I want.. I don’t care about the motion stuff.
That added with the colour night vision omg I’m in love lol.. only issue is the sound is shocking
Taylor,
I would like to use 2 of these cameras in my kids room as baby monitors. Anyway I would be able to get sound as well as video in groups? I don't mind using other apps if need be. I just need audio and video simultaneously. Please advise.
They do offer groups in their app. So you can have them both in a group and view the livestream together. However, only 1 audio source can be selected at a time. I'm not sure of a workaround for that.
Good investment. I bought some for my home and my girls place they work great no issues.
Can I use the v3 in my van, as a security camera mounted on the dash for when im parked at night ?
Will it drain my vehicle battery ?
Will it use up alot of data on my phone and drain my phone battery ? Tia
YES
Has anyone noticed how fast it load 3v vs 2v even switching back and forth between Wyze cams
The most annoying thing about Wyze products is that the app doesn’t orient to landscape orientation on an iPAD.
the most annoying thing is your whining
F@©€ Apple.
Why not blame the iPad?
@@ericharrison619 - Because that would be stupid.
@@billmoyer3254 - Bill, you aren’t very bright, are you?
Re: v2 vs V3 detection zones, it is my understanding that v2 allows you to have multiple detections zones whereas the v3 only allows for a single detection zone.
What is the support to NVR
POE and RTSP firmware (if they really do get it out) would make me happy. I currently have 16 Wyze cams (mix of v2 and Pan) all flashed with RTSP firmware. The biggest problem of course is throughput which the POE would be able to solve. The happy part comes in because I was looking at other solutions for POE and RTSP that usually start at $1000+ for that many cameras. Have they given an actual time frame of when they might release the RTSP firmware for the V3?
No they have not given any time frame, but have confirmed both RTSP and POE
Bought two in one month. They both froze. Impossible to restart red light on nothing to do. Returned them both.
Great review Drew, sub'd. Have you tried to download a completed timelapse when you're off of the home network with the V3? This is my biggest complaint with the V2 and Pan.
Did you ever figure this out? I want a camera for time lapse purposes
A 128 gb works right?
So i am guessing that there is no RTSP FW for this cam , since i recently just discovered that even some v2's that were manufactured after a certain date will not work with the RTSP fork of the wyze FW
that is one major drawback and the reason i will not be updating my current v2's until wyze adds RTSP to their main FW or at least comes up with another solution to view these on a PC , right now there is only 2 options ,use RTSP with an older v2 which is now very broken with Alexa integration or emulate Android with bluestacks to run the app
Not as of now. They're saying they are working on RTSP fw though
@@TaylorTech do you use RTSP FW on your V2's i thought you did
do you also use alexa because my v2's with alexa stop working every day i have to rename them every day to get hem working with alexa again, have you been experiencing this issue? i am wondering if it is even confined to the RTSP version of the FW or if it is happening on the regular FW, i don't want to update to regular FW only to find out i still have the issue and then have to manually flash my cams back to the RTSP FW fork
i also have noticed the past couple of days that the person detection announcements with alexa have a much longer lag too
I do not use the rtsp fw. I tried it and it didn't work well for me. I had to reset cams daily to get it back up. It kept turning rtsp off in the settings. I do not have an echo show, so I don't use that but I do use the person detection alerts which work fine.
@@TaylorTech yeah my person detection works fine too even when alexa won't show me the stream when i ask till i renake it and fix it ,also you don't need an echo show you can use any echo paired to most fire TV devices and it works on fire tablets too
Could you compare this camera to maybe a more expensive camera on the market. Also can this camera record locally to a computer running blue iris or other software like it.
I plan on comparing this to the eufy 2k camera soon. So stay tuned. They released rtsp firmware for the V2 camera and it didn't work great for me through blue iris. I'm thinking it was a hardware limitation. They're saying they're working on rtsp for this camera. I'm thinking it will work better due to the better processor.
@@TaylorTech thanks for the info I’m subscribing!
Any word on when these will ship to us regular folk?
The answer is blowing in the wind
Great review, thank you. Do you know if Wyze will bring back the Person Detection feature? I heard Apple bought the company that was supplying the AI for that feature and that Wyze planned to develop the associated technology in-house. If you know more, your insight would be valuable. Thanks
You now pay for person detection.
Question: Are you getting Full Screen Pop Up Ads when opening up the live feed? I have seen some people reporting this.
No I'm not... that would be terrible.
@@TaylorTech Just wondering. Maybe it's a random thing.
can I dasy chain a v2 with v3?.. meaning, can I power the v3 using the v2 usb?
Yes! That would work.
@@TaylorTech Nice.. thanks
But you can’t daisy chain the cameras like v2 which I will miss. Only thing keeping me from getting the v3.
...well... we CAN expect improvements, upgrades after the intro...
Since this camera hooks up to an external power supply, does it record 24/7?
OK, I just checked and it does. But it only captures 3 days worth of video on a 32GB card. What happens when the card is full ... does it get overwritten (like in a loop)? Or do you have to format it before the camera starts recording again?
Yes it can record 24/7 with an installed SD card
@@TaylorTech -- Thanks! But what about the second part of my question? Does the card get overwritten when full, or does the camera just stop recording?
Sorry didn't see the 2nd half. Yes it will get overwritten so you don't need to do anything. You could get a 64gb card also. Its not officially supported, but it works. I've heard even 128gb cards work.
@@TaylorTech -- Thanks!
@@TaylorTech i tried with 2 versions of 128 GB cards and neither of them work.
I will try with a 64 Gb to see, thanks,
I see you can format 128gb in v3
Taylor, Great Review! Is there an SD slot? What kind of video review is free, hate those subscription prices.
Yes, there is an sd card slot. Check out the unboxing video for that. 👍
...so find a better deal, go there with your wallet... and report a positive... vs. a negative post... Capitalism concept obviously escapes you...
The only thing wyze lacks is 2 way talk , being able to hear the person behind the camera in audio form after the fact , unlike ring camera .
For those not in the US
If you already have an adequate USB power supply the voltage differences in the US should be irrelevant as it doesnt use a proprietary USB power supply.
USB splitter cable are widely available and tend to be cheap for those that still want to daisy chain, though a better USB power supply may be needed for amps (Depending on what the v3 comes with)
Where is the info for a POE adapter? This is WYZE endorsed? I can't find info about that anywhere whatsoever.
There seems to be some miscommunication... originally I was told power and data. But now it is unconfirmed. I will update here as soon i hear back from my wyze rep.
@@TaylorTech I didn't think so
Wyze had a AMA on October 29th. I didn't hear them mention any official POE adapter from wyze but they did mention that you could purchase a third party POE adapter and it should function properly.
Just heard back from Wyze rep. They said it will be power and data! No ETA on release, though.
@@TaylorTech 6 months later, this channel is the only mention I can find of a wyze POE adapter. I am also struggling to envision how it would work to be both power and data - right now the data is over wireless only, USB only provides power on these, right? Any further updates?
Can you just connect the V3 to a big USB battery?
Yes you sure can. In my testing a 10,000 mAh pack lasted around 18 hrs
I wish they had more flip angles like 90, 180, 270
Interesting seeing the IR LIDAR pattern on the rooms baseboards projected from your robotic vacuum ;)
Agreed!
You should be able to use your cellphone cam and see it also.
I would like to see 90 degrees rotation too. Year later and no luck
Can the Wyze v3 cam take a Micro SD card bigger than 32gb? I've been enjoying your YT videos and appreciate the details...I'm now a subscriber! Thanks!
Yes, I’m using a 128
Does this camera always have to be plugged in a wall socket to be powered on or can it be "stand alone" as well through constant charging and recharging?
There is no batter in this camera. So it will need to be plugged in at all times.
@@TaylorTech thanks for your help!
is V3 really waterproof becasue they have a an exposed speaker in the back?
It is IP65 rated. You can google the exact meaning of that, but it means that it can withstand jets of water from all angles. Aka rain storm
@@TaylorTech anyway to make them wireless for outdoor? maybe put a solar panel?
You could run these off of a power bank. A solar panel alone would not provide consistent enough power for this camera. You could use a solar panel to lengthen the life of the power bank being used. Or, the outdoor camer with a solar panel may be a better option.
They need to work on that window mount so it can be firm against the glass.
On a double pane window it will still reflect off of the second layer of glass even if it's perfectly flush (I tried). I ended up adding more outdoor lighting and now the reflection is gone due to not needing the IR blasters.
Hi Can be converted to a webcam?
Why not try keeping a specific task to a specific product, and let developers max its capabilities out 1st ?
You said it's cloud based, not local. I thought the Wyze cam 3 had an SD card slot...
It can record locally to a SD card, but it is always recording to the cloud, and you need internet in order to access it. Not a huge deal, but may be a security concern for some.
I got 1 for free with a sub for a year from them. Haven't a clue when I'm getting it though. Smh so far the v2 has been ok for the money. 1 day I'll try the expensive stuff till then this works fine
Any testing with TinyCam Pro?
Yes, sorry it took me a while to respond. I may or may not have forgotten to test this... But yes it does work with tinycam just like the v2. Just select wyze cam as the camera.
@@TaylorTech thanks for looking into it, I think I’ll be upgrading my interior cameras, hoping they work better in TinyCam Pro/HomeBridge. If you ever get bored and want to do a video on Wyze cams into TinyCam Pro on an Nvidia Shield, and then out to HomeKit via HomeBridge, I’m sure it would get some views.
If I had the hardware, I'd do it. Unfortunately youtube doesn't pay too well for small creators.
@@TaylorTech do you use HomeKit/HomeBridge at all? I’d be willing to loan you a pi and a shield if you were up to giving it a shot. I tried to use the instructions from this video, but couldn’t get the copy function to work so the pi wasn’t trying to process the video. If you go to my page you can see a video I posted of the video quality from the Home app vs the Wyze app, you can mainly see it if you look at the ceiling fan, the motion gets much smoother when the video switches to the Wyze app. ruclips.net/video/LdcP0j9lyrw/видео.html
Do i spy a wyze vacuum
I wish!
I wanted to buy a couple more cameras but it's now $35.98US
good review
Thanks!
@@TaylorTech do you know how it would look if it was pitch black in your yard?
Pitch black would still be pitch black if night vision is off. It only helps boost any low light thats already there.
@@TaylorTech Ahh ok..so once you turn the cams night vision on, any light that is coming from anywhere however minimal, it will make the picture better...
No, actually night vision being off, means color vision (at daytime or night time) is on. So if night vision is off, then it will show as much light as it can, in color. If night vision is on, then it will switch to black and white and use true night vision with Infrared light. You'll need to use this if its pitch black.
They are going to release a new version V2 Wyze Sense very soon.
...source of this info ?
MY sources say that was bs... we'll see
@@Seminolerick they are releasing it very soon.
@@sun1234567890 Yes but what is the source? I haven't seen that or no one has confirmed in the Wyze Community :/
@@ch0lito They are releasing the sense sensors as part of the Wyze home security system.
@@sun1234567890 Thanks for replyiing
You can also make a rule so if you press a button on the Wyze App, All of the Cameras Sirens go off
I hate my Wyze camv3 and wyze customer service. I paid for the cam v3 and had it for couple weeks now. My camera does not send person detect notifications although I have this selected and it records every dang motion even though I don't have that selected. I've contacted customer service several times and they would not offer a any help. I'm paying for cam plus but I'm getting crappy service. I would not recommend wyze to anyone anymore.
My disconnect frecuente
its just not possible to go wrong at $20. I just eat at home once rather than going to a restaurant, and its paid for.
Agreed!
1.5x speed. 👍
Nice. One thing... they dont ship their products outside US.
I have a solution just get a black case for it
The cam itself is fine, but do comparisons as to how typical consumer figures out how to use its features and what it all has or can do. Unbox it and i'll tell you I want it to be at this certain setting and use there specific features so how do i set that ?? A typical consumer, not you, is going to go through a lot of trial and error and take a little time figuring things out. FACT: I called WYZE and they stated they have no manuals or reference listing as to how to go about things. Just look at forums page with account they setup for you and figure it out yourself. I would not encourage anyone to buy WYZE unless they have more expertise operating security cameras. REMEMBER: you talk with experience and comparisons but give it to a typical consumer and ask them to set it up to certain specs and features.
Is NOT a $20 camera. It costs more than $35 with tax.
ATTENTION ALL WYZE CAMERA OWNERS: you have to now be warned, Wyze cameras do not offer free on board storage of videos to Sd Card, they now are making everyone who wants more than live view, Cam Plus which costs $1.99 per camera per month, a frikken rip..... doesn't work right anyway paid $19.00 for a year of headaches and distress
Love it! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Just when you thought your cool, in this year the 100th anniversary of Chinese Communist Party #CCP, thrilled to know Wyze is owned by Hualai of CHINA #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #BeijingOlympics2022 #ColonizeMars2024 #UyghursBuddyBuddy 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳

what lazy he put it inside the window
Many people requested I install it this way. Much easier to run power inside to a near outlet than outside either through a wall or to a far away outdoor outlet. Plus the power brick is not weather resistant. Hope that clears it up for you.
@@TaylorTech crack the window open stick it on the outside and close the window
Good option for windows that open 👌 and for those that arent concerned their window is sealed properly.
@@TaylorTech that little cable will squish between the sale you must not know about running cables out of the damn window do you
Not here to argue Mr. VR. I have ran these flat cables through windows. Its definition an option. Just not for everyone. Thanks for the suggestion!
Wyze cams are soooo bad and not much cheaper than competition not sure why there's so much hype.
Please drop the stupid music or learn to use sound envelopes. Spoiled The Whole great review
