Wyze Cam v3 with Color Night Vision, Wired 1080p HD Indoor/Outdoor Video Camera only $54 (and $108 for 2). I've been looking to upgrade my garage security for a while and this looks like a good deal compared to Arlo Reolink (the US-adaptor Wyze seems to have 64k reviews on Amazon). Are these cameras any good?
CamelCamelCamel.
$215.98 sir.
Showing $59.99 each for me…
Showing 53.99 each for me…
Amazon page defaulted to US plug option for me. If you select AU plug the price will show as $53.99.
What are the limitations if you don't have a subscription?
Assuming it's the same as their previous cameras, 12 second cloud-based clips with cooldown between motion triggers, and also no smart motion detection (people, animals, packages etc).
There's a microSD card slot and you'll still get continuous recording or unlimited motion recording on the SD card without a subscription.
Could you elaborate on 'cooldown between motion triggers' please?
There's a five minute cooldown between motion events, so say there's motion detected, it'll record a 12 second clip to the cloud service for free and send you a notification if you have notifications on. Now say that camera detects motion again within five minutes of the earlier detection, you won't receive notification or get a 12 second clip of it saved to the cloud.
This doesn't effect recording to the SD card so even though you won't receive a notification of the second event, it'll still be saved to the SD card and viewable remotely through the app.
@lint: 5 minutes is a large blackout period for something like this….
having said that If everything records anyway it should be acceptable for most use cases I guess.
@andresampras: You can also just use it a standard RTSP camera if you have a NVR, basically what i do.
@RaihaX: Can the Whyze mobile app play the NVR files remotely on the phone?
What NVR do you use?
I've got an old NVR that supports ONVIF that I've never used before. Not sure if it would support RTSP.
@KirKoloft: You can continue to use the Wyze app functions while also using RTSP to record to an NVR. Some caveats: you need to install a custom (official) firmware to get RTSP functionality and it seldom gets updated, and it also doesn't support though.
You can't play back the recordings on the NVR on the Wyze app. You'll need to use whatever app your NVR supports to do that.
I have the V2 cams with RTSP with SD card installed, no subscription. I run Scrypted on my NAS to pipe the RTSP streams into Apple HomeKit, allowing motion notifications, automations on motion detection, and recording to HomeKit Secure Video. I can view footage on the SD card in the Wyze app, or in iCloud in the Apple Home app (with iCloud subscription).
@lint: Thanks mate, I appreciate your detailed response.
The NVR that I've got is a no name cheap box from AliExpress that doesn't have any mobile apps.
I've got a Buffalo Nas, but I doubt if it's got an app.
Guess my only option is to use the 256GB SD card and be happy with it.
@KirKoloft: No worries. Sorry just realise autocorrect mangled my reply, it's supposed to read: and it also doesn't support ONVIF.
