   I’m gonna install like a thousand of these. Super fast/easy install and setup, you can likely get them mounted and operating in ten minutes each if you’re so inclined and just a tiny bit handy. Maybe an hour or two for a difficult install location including wall penetration and caulking for the power lead. The included power cables (and longer ones marketed specifically for these cameras) are flat cables thin enough that I was able to repeatedly shut them into my window frames and lock the windows without noticeable resistance and without even nicking the wire jacket. YMMV there but if you’re using cables longer than those included then you can test your fit no-risk with the included cables! Separate cables as long as you could need are dirt cheap too, they only need to carry USB power so no data leads necessary. Solder up your own custom janks easily if ya want & know how, I’ll be doing that with the rest of my Wyze installs so I can hide easier-to-pull two-conductor wire in the walls behind the cams. Totally optional though. There are so many options. You can do this, your grandmother can do this, a particularly ham-fisted orangutan could do this.I’m currently panning and tilting one of my cameras from 1,120 geodesic miles away and watching it respond to my commands with no more than 200ms total latency per command, I think I can fire off around five or six commands in a second. Looks good in day, streetlight, and pitch black conditions.IDK what their subscription service includes yet but A. You don’t need it, I’ve been using these cams no issues for a few days before I bought the subscription tonight, and B. Not very expensive. The “unlimited cameras” option seems very fair given the fact that I’m about to have these things monitoring every square nanometer of multiple properties. I’m hoping the AI facial recognition can identify deer faces lol.Probably worth going for quality/endurance even if it means sacrificing capacity with the μSD cards for these things. With factory settings, they write a LOT of data. Dropped significantly since I made a few adjustments, but the first day on factory settings I think they recorded like 15-20GB each.Had a small issue but customer service resolved it about as fast as I could possibly exchange emails with their representative, even accomodating an unusual request probably outside the umbrella of their warranty terms. Flawless service.Tl;Dr great product and great customer service despite being really really affordable. VERY easy install and setup.

   PROS:-Price-Ease of use-Overall Quality-App / featuresCONS:-A.I. detection needs improvement.-Sound when moving-Video Quality when camera movesPROSI just want to start off by saying that for the price, these are EXCELLENT cameras. I have 3 Wyze Pan Cam V3’s so far and have plans to purchase more for my mother’s house in the near future.Starting off with price, these are pretty inexpensive units, considering the amount of features packed into them. There are certainly much higher quality units out there, but the cost will increase dramatically for them as well. In my opinion, you get far more than you pay for with the Pan Cam V3 making them well worth their low cost.It does not get much easier to get going than it is with these guys. Just plug in the included usb cable to the included wall adapter, download the app and after just a few minutes of setup, you’re up and running. The camera can be used indoors or outdoors. If using indoors, find your suitable location, plug it in and go. The camera is very quiet when panning, to anyone in the room with it. I will say though, that when watching back recorded videos, you can definitely hear the movement, which I was surprised to find. More on this in the CONS section.The build quality of the camera is good. It does not feel cheaply made at all (especially considering the low price point). Overall video quality is good as well, but there are some slight issues I have run into when panning (see the CONS section for details). Audio quality is good as well. I can make out voices and have conversations with anyone outside when needed, so the 2 way audio works well in that regard.The app has a TON of options. You can go basic or really dive into them for more control if you choose. I like that you have this flexibility. You can set various sensitivity options for detection events, event recording, alarm settings, notifications, etc. Some features are paid only features, but at the most basic level, as long as you have an SD Card (not included) installed you will be able to go back and watch videos of saved events.CONSA.I. options are available within the app for this camera and I would say that this is the biggest opportunity for improvement. The A.I. options allow you to select event triggers for things like cars, people, pets, package detection, etc. In my experience, cars have been detected as pets, pets as cars, pets as packages and so on. The A.I. in this respect has a ways to go still. I have also experienced the camera get confused and just “staring” at the wall next to where it is mounted. It detected shadow movement from sun/trees and locked in on it for hours at times. It took me a while of playing with detection settings to get past this for the most part, but it will still occasionally happen from time to time. The app does have the option for you to give feedback on what was in the detection event, such as people, animals, cars, etc. I presume this will help them improve the detection as time goes on, so this is promising.The other big issue I have is with the “waypoints” You can select them based on where you want the camera to stop when it is in “pan and scan” mode. I have mine at the center of my house lengthwise. I have a waypoint that covers from the left end of the house to the center, then a 2nd that covers from the center to the right end of the house. You can adjust these waypoints up, down left and right as needed to get the best coverage to suit your needs. NICE! The issue I have found though, is that over time, these waypoints can wander so to speak. I can have them set and check a few weeks later and the camera’s left most point will be further to the left that where it was set for example. Or I can set at a specific height, and later the camera angle is higher or lower than where I had set it. A minor annoyance, as you have to go back in and re-set your waypoints, but it’s enough to be worth mentioning. Again though, for the price point this is definitely something I am ok dealing with.My other issues are with video and audio when panning. When you pan, you can audibly hear (in recorded video, not in person) the camera moving on one camera it sounds like a woodpecker, lol. A minor annoyance again, as I am really more interested in the video from these, not the audio but again, I thought it’s worth mentioning. Video quality, when panning also goes blurry. Once the pan stops, the video clears within a second or so. Something I also thought worth mentioning for those considering these cameras, but I once again restate that for myself, given the price point I can deal with this minor annoyance.Overall, despite the minor gripes listed here, I absolutely love these cameras. I have 3 so far and will definitely be adding more to the collection for sure. If you’re looking for inexpensive, good quality cameras for some additional peace of mind, these are absolutely worth every penny!

   Going to give this Camara 4 stars due to some limitations on it that I have found and maybe Missed doing research on it. The camara itself is amazing and works great to follow objects/people, setup was easy. Wanted to use this camara outside and did not have easy access to power outlet, so I thought I can use a solar panel for it. I bought a Non Wyze solar Panel off of Amazon. First issue with getting it connected to the Panel. Had to buy two different adapters. Was able to get the Camara to work for a short period of time but then it stopped working. Doing some more research, I found that I can’t use the Pan Cam V3 with a Solar panel due to not having a rechargeable battery. Unless there is something I am missing I will have to find a way to use this camara outdoors. Otherwise, this Camara is a really good Camara.

   Great camera – installation can be tricky but great, read my review for details
   If you’re installing this outdoors they recommend to purchase the outdoor plug as the one it comes with is meant for indoors and not weatherproof. The outdoor one only comes in white but easy to install and you will need the adaptor plug because it needs to be flush against the camera in order to install a bracket. I purchased a bracket that is further away from the wall than the one that comes with the camera.Note, the software only has an Alexa option (just an update on this comment, even though it only has Alexa in the software, I was actually able to add the device to my Google account )and you will need to purchase an SD card in order to have the free service, when you go into the app and you click on each photo, it will prompt you to purchase cloud service but you don’t need this if you purchased an SD card I personally purchased the Wyze 32 gig card.To view your pics/videos from the SD card in the app, click ‘events’ then click on a photo that was taken and click ‘playback’. Worry when you see under events at the top right of the screen next to the search icon is a picture click it and you’ll see a nice view of all the pictures on that camera.The track motion is a cool feature but doesn’t work well in the rain or snow as the camera tries to focus on each droplet or rain or snow so you’ll want to turn that off during precipitation otherwise, the feature is very good.All in all, I am very pleased with this device. I was quite concerned about installing it at first due to having to potentially purchase a cloud service, but you don’t need to. I think there are other functions that you might have to. I’m just getting into all of the features and will post more once I find more.

   Excelente camara costo-calidad
   Resumen 2024.01.01: Excelente camara con funciones varias sin pagar.Compre 2 camaras (para empezar). Me interesaba el “360”.Las camaras vienen bien protegidas. Trae camara, cable, cuadro de energia (5V 2A), manual, chilillos de montaje, base para montar en pared/techo.De inicio cuando las conectas se mueven, bajas la aplicacion y fueron faciles de instalar y usarlas. Por defecto tiene activado el “Track Motion”. Le puse una memoria de 64GB. La app es facil de usar y entender. La camara se ve de buen material, se ve bien hecha y resistente.La calidad de grabacion es decentemente buena, puedes cambiar a 360 o 720.Los movimientos al girar la camara son suaves, puedes ver las grabaciones facilmente, acceder a ella rapidamente, grabar videos o fotos, puedes darle zoom, poner zonas de grabacion, configurar horarios, eventos, soporta IFTTT, eventos por geolocalizacion (al parecer solo USA y Canada) y otras. Las funciones avanzadas las desconozco, ya que son de paga y basicamente son: guardar en la.nube, sensores de reconocimiento avanzado, acceder por la pagina web de Wyze y otras que no.recuerdo.Las voy a poner en el exterior y te sugieren (obligado) comprar un adaptador para exterior. Si tienes conocimientos basicos puedes hacer tu propia “caja” para poner el cuadro de energia cerca de la camara.Finalmente, soportan el protocolo RTSP, el cual te permite usarlo con aplicaciones de 3ros, NVR y/o Home Assistant, incluso como camara web. Solo que lei que aun no sale.un firmware para este modelo, seguire leyendo e investigando.2024.01.11.Con una memoria de 64GB graba aproximadamente 5 a 11 dias.La exterior tiene 5 diasLa interior tiene 11 diasAmbas configuradas de la misma manera (HD, grabacion continua, sonido, eventos, vision nocturna).Supongo la diferencia principal es que con luz graba a 20FPS, y en modo nocturno graba a 15FPS, asi que la interior casi siempre tiene menos luz.

   Excelente câmera 📷
   Sem dúvidas a mais de 3 meses de uso constante é uma câmera 📷 muito boa, grava os dados direto no cartão sempre que precisar pode baixar editar ou afins uso pra monitor de minha filha dia e noite no quarto lógico, tenho minhas dúvidas em saber se ela não é monitorada por terceiros pois não tem a opção de privacidade interna de desabilitar gravações ou aceso externo, então toda vez que vamos trocar a bebê, pomos no modo provação depois desligamos e ela volta ao normal com a gravação
