WYZE Cam Pan v3 Indoor/Outdoor IP65 1080P 360° Pan/Tilt/Zoom WiFi Smart Home Security Camera, Motion Tracking for Baby/Pet, Color Night Vision, Works with Alexa&Google Assistant, Free Expert Setup

Bought two Wyze cameras - this one and the stationary cam v4. The tilt on this one is nice but I honestly keep it stationary most of the time so prefer the higher-quality stationary ones, but my use case is also on-demand monitoring and the space is small enough that the camera doesn't need to move. So if you've got other needs - security or a large space, this is likely a great choice. Just know that 1080 quality does start to look a little underwhelming over distance. Gonna copy/paste what I said about the other camera: The two-way communication is actually pretty awesome - for as small as it is the camera's mic pics up decent audio. I did find that if you're on the monitoring end and want to speak through the camera you should do so slowly and deliberately as it takes a half-second for the speaker on the camera to kick on and broadcast; it cuts you off a little so just make sure you enunciate. Night mode is neat but I never use it. I use this for on-demand monitoring rather than 24/7 security so I had to look up how to disable certain things (motion tracking boxes, automatic light/alarm, etc.) but all were, blessedly, able to be disabled. Other reviews said those settings sometimes mysteriously come back on but I haven't experienced it, but had this operational for only about 20 days now. Having had this installed for over two week I've had none of the problems others spoke about. App is surprisingly functional and stable. I wish there were a "refresh" button in it as I had to close it out and re-open a couple of times to catch up to a live feed, but other than that no big deal. I will say they REALLY like to push notifications, access to your device, and upsell their cloud service. You can always hit no, but the popups are recurrent - I've had several in the ~20 days of use so far, so likely every few days you'll be asked if you're *REALLY* sure you don't want to buy online storage. Cameras haven't disconnected at all. Again, had to restart the app a few times but they were never unavailable to me. Unless I got lucky with these units I'm guessing they ironed out the problems people were having and/or the issues folks experience are because the cameras are on the periphery of WiFi - these do take a lot of data and so a strong, consistent signal is necessary. If you're monitoring these remotely on cell signal, know you'll need a good 5G signal to get an uninterrupted live feed. If you're low on bars or busted down to LTE you'll get some chop, maybe serious chop, depending on how hairy your connection is. These are essentially like streaming Netflix so again strong, consistent data is key if you want a truly live monitor. All in all, for the price, I'm honestly blown away. They have to be making near-zero on the hardware and using cloud subscriptions to subsidize selling the units, which would explain the constant badgering to sign up. But in the end that just means I get a really serviceable entry-level camera for the cost of a nice lunch.

I love Wyze! Excellent price point and easy to install. I have the old ones and these ones are really easy to setup. The quality of the image is really good for this price point and the motion detection is really good. It allows you to pay monthly for cloud storage to stare the footage, but you can also add an sd that stores footage, NO MEMBERSHIP! This is a game changer.

I already use Wyze standard cameras to monitor the outside of my home, and when I saw this Pan/Tilt model on Amazon, I ordered it right away. I’m very impressed with its performance. The camera offers nearly 350° of horizontal rotation along with smooth up-and-down movement, providing excellent coverage. The video quality and responsiveness are great, and it easily outperforms several more expensive alternatives I’ve tried. Overall, this is a fantastic value for the price and a great addition to any home security setup.

I have been using this product for over a year now and there are some great things and not so great things. What's Good: This camera is pretty much the more consumer friendly version of security cameras where it has all the bells and whistle of the more professional security system, but without the hassle of doing everything that a dedicated NVR/DVR system would require. No need for any of that wiring and routing ethernet cables through the crawlspace or attic, this neat gadget connects and functions using wi-fi, and realistically only needs to be within 6 feet from the nearest conventional power outlet. Do note that the cable is a micro-USB 2.0, so pretty much an older charger from a smartphone will work just fine, however I do recommend you use the included cable since it was specifically designed with weatherproofing in mind. Just like other Wyze cameras, this one is almost a plug-n-play. All you really need to do beforehand is to download the Wyze app that's available in the Apple App Store or Google Play store and create an account if you don't have one. The app itself is self-explanatory and will walk you through the entire setup process. Once you're setup, you can see all the features. Some notable ones include: - 360-degree rotation - Pan-Tilt-Digital Zoom - Privacy Mode - Scan Mode - Time lapse - Colored Night Vision - Motion and Face detection -Speaker/Siren/Microphone And more passive features include: - Localized SD Card - Ceiling Mounting Solutions (1/4 Thread means it can be mounted to a tri-pod) - Weather-proof My personal favorites are the Colored Night Vision and the Time Lapse. Colored Night Vision is especially my favorite as it mostly does away with dealing with black & white night security footage. This can be helpful if you need to look at special details when investigating using the Wyze, such as color of a vehicle, or the color of lights of a vehicle driving by (This was especially helpful when identifying emergency vehicles). Time Lapse was another favorite as you can dictate the time span of how long you want to record a session. This was especially helpful for me when using the camera as a fun camera that could be used when recording mass gatherings like a party or a convention. Video Quality is more of a even playing field. Its a 1080p camera, so you get the quality of 1080p footage. It is good quality, but there are so many other options of similar performance. Why 4-stars? For me to put it at four stars despite enjoying this product very much falls short of one thing: Limitations of the app. Unfortunately, if you want the full amazing experience if requires great software, but that great software is half-way locked behind a subscription. Now don't get me wrong, the subscription known as "Cam Plus" is actually a good deal at $2.99/month or $19.99/year (price based on the time this review came out), but I'm a big fan of not paying a subscription at all; personally I'd like that ~$3 to go to my next cup of coffee. Despite the limited experience of not buying a subscription, there's a reason why Wyze cameras became my go to security solution. It's COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. In its free version in the app, you go as basic as motion notifications and occasional few-second recordings just to get a general idea of what event is happening in your security camera, which is more than enough of features for me. Be aware that you will need a micro-SD card to help with recordings since cloud storage is very limited. The Final thing to discuss is... why bother looking at the V3 when the V4 is already available? The V4 has all the features I mentioned above, but its newer, faster, has an upgrade from a 1080p sensor to 4k sensor, and is similarly priced. Might as well go for the latest model, but if you specifically wanted the (comparably) older security camera, the Pan V3 is my go-to.

The Wyze Cam Pan V3 is absolutely amazing. We originally bought it to keep track of our dog, and it works perfectly for that. The motion tracking is smooth, and the camera’s ability to spin almost a full 360 degrees makes it super easy to monitor an entire room without any blind spots. The noise detection is also incredible — it picks up any loud noises instantly, giving us peace of mind when we’re not home. One of my favorite features is the two-way talking system. Being able to hear what’s going on and then speak through the camera is extremely helpful, whether it’s to calm the dog or check in on what’s happening. Overall, this camera delivers amazing performance for the price. It’s reliable, packed with features, and perfect for pet monitoring or home security.

Easy to set up. Good quality

Wyze pan tilt v3 came but is not powering despite trying all kinds of different connections

The cameras are great — small, compact, and easy to use. They feel well-built, made from what seems to be high-quality materials, and come with features that exceeded my expectations. Mounting is simple and hassle-free, even though is not including a mounting sticker for the bracket. The Pan Cam V3 is not upgraded version and does not supports 5G WiFi, only 2.4 which is a big downside because many routers are combining the 5G with 2.4 and this camera will not connect to a combined network . It's user-friendly and performs well overall. However, there are a couple of downsides on the hardware side: the motor isn’t super smooth, and there's occasional lag in communication with the app. When manually controlling the camera via the app, it moves in steps rather than smoothly. That said, auto-tracking is very smooth and works well. The sensitivity for motion and sound detection is adjustable. Now, while I’m really satisfied with the product itself, I’m not happy with the service and the way the subscription plans are set up. There are only two paid subscription options if you want to actually use most of the features. The free tier gives you virtually no benefits — just snapshots of events and basic live view functionality. The Cam Plus plan (about CAD $24/year) only covers one camera per account, which I find quite limiting. If you have 2, 3, or more cameras, you need to pay for a separate plan for each, which in my opinion is not worth it. The other option is Cam Unlimited, which costs nearly CAD $200/year. This one allows you to connect unlimited cameras and access all features. In my opinion, the Cam Plus plan should at least support up to 5 cameras and unlock more features — maybe not all, but certainly more than what’s currently offered. In short: I really like the product itself, but I'm disappointed with the app and the paywall system behind it. Great hardware, poor software/service experience.

Excelentes cámaras

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 dias La interior tiene 11 dias Ambas 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. 2025.04.20. Ya tengo 8 de ellas. 6 instaladas, 4 color blanco y 4 color negro. 5 en el exterior y 1 en el interior. Las funciones gratuitas son mas que suficiente para usarlas. Estan configuradas todas para grabar 24/7, tienen el firmware mas actual y andan muy bien las 6. Como mencione anteriormente, les hice "adaptaciones" para ponerlas en el exterior ya que no quize gastar mas y comprar el "adaptador original para exterior". Las tengo compartidas con otro usuario y ademas las uso con Alexa Echo Show 5, solo se pueden ver 2 al mismo tiempo. A las exteriores les ha pegado sol directo de mas de 37º, lluvias ligeras y fuertes, aires fuertes, polvo constante, tela de araña y quien sabe que mas y andan bien. Sigo recomendandolas.
