The camera Def has a very wide angle of view which gets the entire back yard. The light is very very bright and anywhere ypu point the lights also had IR at night without the light on which lights up the whole yard in pitch dark. The only downside is the "Ambient light" is still very bright even on setting 1. But 100 is like construction zone bright! Audio is clear, sensor works well, detection zones are good once set up. I could go on and on about it. Wyze had 1 day of downtime on thier end since I've purchased this approx 2 weeks ago.
I had high hopes for the camera system, but it's just ok. The PIR sensor in the old non-Pro model seemed to work better wrt noisy notifications. I'm using an SD card without CamPlus, and the claim that it has on board people and vehicle id is just not working well. Loads of motion notifications that cannot seem to be stopped in the app, even with sensitivity turned way down. The physical wide fov camera is nice.
I also don't understand why it still has 5 min cool down for events when using continuous SD recording. That's why I bought it -- for the non-subscription ability to only notify on smart events from the new onboard classification. I don't know why there's always so many rough edges.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought two Floodlight Pros and installed one. It would not stream video at all if you just wanted to watch what was going on. It would alert and tell you that motion was detected and send you that video, but no live streaming. Router was literally about 15 feet from the light fixture too. Also, the led lights themselves are not very bright compared to what I was replacing which was a regular flood fixture with two Sylvania Night Chaser LED flood bulbs (which are awesome). What would be great is if Wyze would sell a fixture with the integrated camera with just regular screw in bulb holders so that you can install your own bulbs. Also, the new fish eye 180 degree viewing area does cover more area, it is just hard to look at. I would prefer more cameras with a normal view than one camera with a view that looks like youre looking through a peep hole. I returned my product and will continue my search for the perfect flood light/camera device. If these issues dont bother you, you may love the device. I have about 8 Wyze cameras, some smart bulbs, and smart plugs. So, I like Wyze. But this product just didnt fulfill my expectations.

I love the quality and video quality. I feel as though the motion detection is not as good on this one as the previous model. Wish I could put it undery wyze cam lite subscription but I cannot
Very unstable connectivity. It took a herculean effort to get it connected to begin with. No issues with the non pro it replaced, this one way more unstable in terms of connectivity. Haven't had a chance to troubleshoot yet.

The light itself is pretty bright, and the viewing angle is good, but the resolution isn’t the greatest, but there’s no timelapse capability like there is on every other Wyze camera, and even the original floodlight camera. Is this actually an upgrade? Time will tell. I love Wyze products for the most part, but I’m not certain I’d buy this particular device again.
