I also am very happy with the WYZE products that I own.
I have 2 V1s, 6V2s, (a few with SD cards) 1 Pan Cam, 4 contact sensors, 2 motion sensor, 2 bulbs, 2 power plugs
Everything works, the early cameras have been working reliably for over 2 years.
I cover 2 different locations, with different WiFi "s, None out doors, some in windows.
Sharing some feeds with others, On android and Iphone.
Have converted 1 V2 to an rtsp stream. works fine as a USB Web Cam.
Sure sometimes there are issues, but these are transitory and usually self resolve.
The audio talk back is weak and difficult to understand sometimes, but hey, what do expect from a 2 inch cube.
In my opinion, at these price points, you cannot find anything better.
So there are a number of people qho claim to be happy, I for one would gladly refrain from having to constantly be irritated by nonfunctional devices, by posting here, in fact if anyone wanted I would gladly allow you to buy the 4 v2 cams from me at cost plus shipping and everyone would be more happy than see my negatives on here, however that isnāt likely and corp would rather I keep sharing the negatives than make that happen! Good luck with those ccp enabled devices! Iāll stick to buying American!
Sadly, no. I havenāt jumped on the i hate Wyze bandwagon, but to be honest, iām rather disappointed and have started looking elsewhereā¦ once my Wyze door lock randomly decided to lock me out of the house even when that option has been turned off as well as door position, you get a little disgruntled.
Iām sorry to hear you are having these problems. For what its worth, most people that deal with IoT things or IT donāt recommend putting a digital device on your physical door. Its kind of the worst of both worlds, and very little benefit for either.
Iāve been extremely happy. I have several Cam 2ās I loaded with the RSTP software. I have them streaming live 24/7 on one of my websites at http://birdcam.online Iām putting them in bluebird nest boxes as well as facing bird feeders. Some one solar powered power with a battery bank so the still stream at night and on days we donāt have enough sun.
We have the the V2 cam, Pan cam, Outdoor cam, Bulbs and Scale. I have not had a single issue and they work great! I absolutely love all their products and typically early adopt every single one. I am actually using my V2 camera as a webcam right now because the webcams have been sold out for months because of the pandemic. Itās made my life easier with interviewing (even if I have to deal with the fisheye lens a little.)
i started with 2 cams and after seeing how easy they were to set-up i bought 2 more (one of which i use outside to monitor my driveway gate 100+ yds from my house), a scale and the band.
i really love how my band allows me to easily check alerts to see if itās worth checking my phone.
p.s. integration of my band and cams with alexa is something i use several times per day and is an unexpected bonus.
Iām glad you posted this. Iāve no doubt some people are experiencing frustrating issues. Iāve experienced one or two ā but Iāve been able to resolve them with a little scientific thought and troubleshooting (just like any electronic device). After all, electronics arenāt infallible.
But all in all, I am AMAZED that they are able to sell us such high-functioning devices at such a low price. I have recommended Wyze to others, with great success.
I also appreciated that they sold masks and thermometers during a time when I couldnāt find them elsewhere. They truly saved my bacon!!
Humans, in general, tend to write to complain rather than praise. So, it was a brilliant idea that you began this thread for those of us who are very satisfied.
I feel a great loyalty to Wyze as their products have helped me care for (by monitoring) my elderly mother in every room. They have never betrayed my confidence with all of the new products I have purchased. So, count me as one of the satisfied.
I am surprised at this blissful and sarcastic post and concerned it will mislead potential new customers into false confidence with Wyze products. My Wyze motion sensors routinely detect continuous motion for more than 24 hours at a time then eventually clear but thatās useless for rules. Sensor batteries run out too quickly. My Wyze plugs go offline and have to be physically unplugged and plugged in again making them useless for rules when I am away. I get hundreds of false motion events daily and try to delete them to save Wyze cloud storage that they say is financially hurting the company. At the time I acquired several Wyze cam V2 cameras I liked the iOS app for managing events, but updates have since made it cumbersome time consuming user interface.
If I had never bought into the horrible wyze sense line and outdoor camera and just stuck to the V2ās I own I would probably agree that Wyze is not bad for the price.
Like you Iām happy with my V2 cams. All I have are the V2 cams. Out of the various brands of cams I own, Wyze is the least expensive and up there is function and picture quality. Iām not interested in other gadgets, i donāt need any cloud storage. People detection is nice but liked what we had before Apple bought it.
Iāve had wyze cams for over two years, and the sensors since they were available. Iām really fed up with helping wyze debug my V2 cameras since the last firmware update. Support keeps suggesting fixes, but none of them have worked. Iām worried one of these fixes will brick my cameras like I have heard happen to others. The latest wyze app update has caused my contact sensors to randomly report false opens that require me to reset the sensor. After two years of hit and miss updates Iāve decided to give up trying to get some dependable use from these devices. Iāve already wasted too much time trying to get their products working. . . . Iāve just gotten used to half-assed devices unable to operate as advertised.
Also: when I first started using wyze cams, the image quality was great! For the last year or so, the image quality had gotten worse. Iād sure like to know what they did. It sure doesnāt look like 1080p any longer.
Hopefully the next updates are thoroughly tested before it is relased to their customers.
