Good price, easy set up. Battery, however, does not last long. I would like the motion record time to be a bit longer. Don't know if I can change that in settings. Is there a FB group to join for more info from a community of users?
I have 4 of these. I'm thinking of buying a fifth.

Verified Purchase:Yes
They are handy when you want a camera somewhere and don't have a power outlet close, or want it set up quickly. Some of mine are hard mounted, but I keep one handy just to put in tight places when monitoring cats (the little devils like to hide and get into mischief). I even have one outside in a protective box (pictured), with a Wyze Solar Panel, to watch for racoons breaking into my garbage cans.
Continuous recording mode, or constant monitoring does use the battery heavily, but there is plenty of usage for a days worth of viewing. Using motion detection will extend that to several days. I have an extra battery and I keep it charged. Battery switchout is quick and easy. My app tells me when the battery is getting low. With the Solar Panel, the battery never gets low.
Great camera quality and performance but extremely poor battery life and capacity. WYZE advertises battery life at approximately 6 months, when in reality it's more like 2 - 3 months (even with minimal motion events).
