The camera delivers sharp 1080p video quality, both during the day and at night with color night vision. The built-in spotlight is a great feature, providing extra illumination when needed.The setup was straightforward, and the Wyze app is user-friendly, allowing me to customize settings such as motion detection zones and notifications. The two-way audio is clear, and I love being able to communicate through the camera. The camera also supports local and cloud storage, giving me flexibility in how I save my recordings.Overall, the WYZE Cam OG has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and value. It's an affordable option that doesn't compromise on quality. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and budget-friendly security camera!

Setup was a breeze, taking just a few minutes to connect to my Wi-Fi network and sync with the WYZE app on my phone.The picture quality is surprisingly sharp, even in low-light conditions, thanks to its night vision capability. The two-way audio feature is another standout, allowing me to communicate with my pets or loved ones when I'm away from home.One of the best parts about the WYZE Cam OG is its affordability. It offers features that rival much more expensive security cameras on the market, making it accessible to anyone looking to enhance their home security without breaking the bank.The WYZE app is intuitive and user-friendly, providing easy access to live footage, event recordings, and settings adjustments. Plus, I appreciate the option to expand storage with a microSD card .Overall, I couldn't be happier with my WYZE Cam OG.

WYZE Cam OG 1080p HD Wi-Fi Security Camera - Indoor/Outdoor, Color Night Vision, Spotlight, 2-Way Audio, Cloud & Local storage- Ideal for Home Security, Baby, Pet Monitoring - Alexa & Google AssistantI bought these to replace a few Blink cameras. Blink has been really really flakey and very poor detection and notifications. I bought one of these to try this out as trial. It's very cheap so why not?This isnt a comprehensive review since there are far too many on you tube out there. This is just a quick summary of things that are noteworthy1. Vastly superior to Blink. Why?--- Notifications are plenty and quick and can be customized. Blink is based on a HUB: each camera has to communicate to a HUB somewhere inside the house in order to relay the video to cloud and notify. This is not good. If ONE cam on the SAME hub is recording, the ENTIRE bank of cameras on the same hub is basically useless. So effectively you need one hub per camera!! Well Wyzecam is a stand alone system that connects directly to cloud without a hub. So every single camera you have in your home system is independent and can record and ship videos concurrently. Blink system is crippled with this older design and this is why i was missing a LOT of camera notifications. This is the primary reason I am now swapping to Wyzecam--- Video quality is superior and you can make out sharper details (like license plates!) Blink is HD too but the images are just subpar. You can adjust from HD to SD to 360p. Nice option for areas where your wifi is weaker you use 360p which seems very low res but it actually has a clean video .--- Live view is "quick" to launch and doesnt have a 30sec limit where you have to press "continue". Blink is really annoying with this, even when u have usb-powered unlimited power.2. Things that arent great about this wyzecam OG?--- Obviously Blink is fully battery powered with a lithium AA pair. This is excellent and battery lasts around 1 year for me thru Canadian winter. Wyze cam OG requires wired power. This is a big limiting factor.-- Secondly, You need a paid subscription per camera (or something like 179$ for up to 99 cams). ONLY when you get a paid subscription, this is useful. Otherwise you get snapshots of events, not video. You can store locally on SD card i guess but its a real PAIN to get it off the camera. ( you either remove the sd card which is not ideal -- or from app wirelessly stream from sd card to internet to phone app but this is really slow buggy and unreliable). Blink gives you at least video "events" without pay.-- As i mentioned before video "live" view on blink has 30sec limit and is very slow to engage but wyze cam OG is is fairly quick and has no limits in time but all of this is prefaced on precondition of excellent wifi coverage. With marginal coverage, live-view is painful and the video is really really really choppy and unusuable. THE SAME can be said for Blink too. However, since Wyze has SD card option and doesnt need any hub? the advantage here is that WYZE can still record with spotty wifi and then once connected it will eventually upload photo or video events to cloud. Blink simply misses.So to conclude, is there space for both blink and wyze cam OG in your space? yes. I would use blinkcam for areas you need occasional supervision where power is not available so full wireless setup is needed -- Blink is only good for event feeds not live-streaming. I will not abandon Blink because of this. It does an OK job in areas that have less action. In heavy action areas, where you do have power, wyze OG is vastly superior and also costs less thank blink cams at the time of writing especially since you dont need a Hub.I will add one more wrinkle to the review. I use both blink and wyze OG in my house for different tasks but i also use Googlenestcam for ultimate surveillance and live-view continual streams (the cost is a factor since these are 3x the price of blink/wyze cams). Having all three systems work together with its strengths is the best combo in my opinion.Hope this helps!!!

This camera exceeded my expectations! Setting it up took just a few minutes, and the video quality is excellent. The night vision works well, and the motion detection is very accurate.

Before buyin this camera check your Android or Apple cell phone if it will work. Android 9 and Iphone 15. I have a Samsung Android version 9 AND THOUGHT oK... no My Samsung phone although version 9 was ejected by Google Play store. ( I got to work on my Lenovo tablet)Also There is no way to view this Camera on a Windows PC unless you pay. Other camera companies have RTSP stream to allow you to download via free progams such as ISPY or VLC.Advertised as indoo/outdoor...really ?? check the power supply... a skimpy USB 5 volt transformer meant for indoos. I suggest you wrap it up in sandwich baggies if you live anywhere it rains or snows.I'm sending this camera back.Once again, YOU PAYS FOR WHAT YOU GETS..TRY TP-LINK Cameras with their TAPO Ap...

I work for a security company and have been installing cameras and other low voltage equipment for 20 years. When I first got into the business, there was no such thing as a good picture for a low cost. I currently have 15 Wyze cameras around my house. I love this brand, because of the low cost and decent quality.

Son muy buenas cámaras, el ángulo es muy amplio y tiene una imagen muy limpia, la aplicación es muy sencilla pero práctica, el único punto negativo pero corregible es el guardado de videos en la SD, use 2 diferentes adata y jamas las leyó y cuendo compré las de su marca funcionaron sim problema.
