I purchased the 2 pack after first purchasing a solo unit to try. They all work great and were exceptionally easy to initiate and install. My only complaint is the fact I paid as much for the solo unit as I did for the 2 pack.
These cameras are a great idea and I actually own about 12 of them. They are simple to mount and set up. My only issue with them is they are inconsistent in their connectivity when trying to use them “live”. They record activity very well when they are not operating “live” but it is hit or miss if the cameras will actually operate/connect in “live” mode when you need them to. This is true for cameras both far from or near to the internet signal source. It can be frustrating. I do not have the same issues with my electrically operated Wyze cams of which I have 13. These cameras always operate consistently even if they are twice as far away as the battery operated Wyze cams. So, these are good cameras that fill a need, but just be aware of a weakness I have found in their operation.
I have had many models of wyze cams for over 6 years, the pro version is one of the worst, need to keep resetting it, it misses events, I can't access the recordings
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Happy to recommend this Wyze Battery Cam Pro. I like how clear the videos come out to be. I like the WiFi range that it’s able to connect to. Installation and set up took less than 20 minutes for 2 devices. Battery life seems to be holding well. Not too happy with the cost to subscribe to their “cloud” service but I knew that before hand, so I won’t take a star off but it’s something buyers should consider. Holds microSD card which is great.
Could have made the mount stem a little longer. Had to add a piece of wood to offset it to get the angle needed to view the area desired. Great picture during the day but poor night viewing. I do love the fact that I can mount them anywhere with no wires and the batteries are lasting two weeks so far.
I have several Outdoor V2 cameras that work wayyyy better than this one. I got this one for a dark side of the house because of the light the cam has. This one rarely records the 12 second playback. And when it does, it’s AFTER the subject has moved out of the frame so it gets nothing! On the flip side I have my other outdoor V2 cam close by and it picked up what this one missed and had the 13 second playback. I feel like I wasted my money!!!!
