I installed the camera above my garage on Sept. 17. Today, Oct. 10, the rechargeable battery still has 22 percent. I bought a spare battery, and I'd advise anyone buying this camera to do the same.The picture is excellent.
Great product, very easy to install and activate. Battery life is great and it is so easy to add additional cameras. We love the cloud storage option. Overall we are extremely satisfied.
first 3 days it stopped working and had to recharge it 3 times to get it working again. Now is working as intended and great image quality. Only would prefer the app had easier way of battery monitoring like the first one had in device info that connected to a hub. Without the first 3 days issue's and app would give it a 5 star rating
I was a little disappointed. The picture quality is good, but it doesn’t record videos without cam plus, even with an SD card it doesn’t record videos. It just takes images. I wish there were more options for wireless cameras

This camera is a step up from the outdoor battery cam. It still requires low level traffic area as, well, its powered by battery.
I installed a new battery about a week ago and the spotlight went on at midnight and didn't shut off until 4am. Of course it took over half my battery.
The remaining battery and spotlight functioned normally for the next week.
I replaced the battery with a fully charged and again the spotlight went on at midnight and remained on until 4am. Hmmmmm.
I shut off the spotlight and will not use it until I can figure out what is making it stay on and/or turn on at midnight.
Overall its a good camera. Your company keeps new products coming and thats just plain fun.
After a couple months, this cam has been reliable for the most part. I'm showing full WiFi strength but it occasionally has connectivity issues. Hopefully, this will be resolved in a future firmware update. I recommend placing it near a router or extender. Live view takes about 7-8 seconds before it starts streaming. A lot slower than the other Wyze cams in my network which takes a second to start. Resolution is pretty decent at 2k setting. Has seen days over 100F and rainy days with no problems. I purchased the solar panel to keep it fully charged 24/7 with no issues. The spotlight is fairly bright, but if the camera position is facing near a wall it will reflect and overexpose the live view and captured events even at it's lowest brightness setting. I do hope a protective cover will be available soon to help protect against the elements. Overall it's a good outdoor security cam if you don't want to deal with a corded power connection.
This camera is easy to set up and has a great picture, but often has a hard time connecting an allowing live view unless I’m actually home, which kind of defeats my primary purpose of getting it.
