Motion events says happened will not play back. Sometimes a pic is shown sometimes not. About half of the events showing on the event screen have this problem. Very disappointed in this product. Do not recommend. I have other cameras that cover most of this same area, that are not battery devices, that work fine. So I guess I will have to be satisfied with what I have. But still wished this device would record motion correctly. And more than 30 feet.
I've installed over a dozen of the Battery Cam Pro cameras and have been very happy with them. The only problems I have are occasional slow connection and squirrels and racoons messing up the camera positioning. I've had one camera fail and Wyze quickly arranged a replacement.
Poor Dection Range making detection settings unusable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So far so good I'm not liking the "cool Down" as I find that is the time the person is where I would want to see them. If you get the truck pulling up for 12 seconds and them it cools down for three the person has come and gone and you would not even know it. I will be getting the solar charger to let it go all the time. The quality is good the the video is clear. Really wondering how water proof it really is.
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!!!!

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.
