Like the size and most of the features, except the 5 minute cooldown. Look forward to having the SDcard feature activated with event recording and no subscription.
The camera will only record 12 seconds of video - no matter how I set the preferences - and those 12 seconds are usually too late - like if a car pulls up and someone gets out - it starts recording just as the person steps out of frame. I am VERY disappointed with this purchase. I have had many other WYZE cameras that I have been very happy with. Also - I thought there would be an option for continuious recording - but there isn't, like in the other cameras that I have.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pros: Nice quality cameras. Picture is very nice. Clear. Battery life appears to be good.
Cons: Extremely laggy when receiving notifications. I can walk past the camera and it won’t pick me up, but the wind will blow and send me a notification. Takes forever to load live feed. Video duration is very short even if I set the setting to record longer, videos are always 8-15 seconds.
These would be really nice cameras if the detection and live feed/recording setting were improved.
Hopefully Wyze has an update soon to correct these issues.

I keep buying Wyze cameras and accessories hoping to have the cameras live up to their advertising. I bought the Wyze Battery Cam Pro to replace a Wyze Outdoor Cam that was not reliable and functioning the way I hoped it would. I was unaware that the Wyze Solar Panel I was using with the WOC wouldn't work with the BCP and then had to place a separate order for a USB-C adapter cable. I am almost 80 years old and have to get someone to tend to the cameras that I have had installed very high up on the outside of my home. The camera isn't getting any power from the solar panel, so soon I will have to get someone over again and take the camera down. I was also expecting a firmware update to be able to use an SD card that is already in the camera. I'm losing faith in Wyze after raving over the V2s and V3s I have that are still serving me well. I just knew the models that could be used outside without an electrical outlet were going to solve my problems, but I was wrong.

Hello there! We are sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced. Wyze Solar Panel will work with both Wyze Cam Outdoor and Wyze Battery Cam Pro, however, the solar panel will need a USB-C adapter cable to be compatible with Wyze Battery Cam Pro.
The feature to use a microSD card with Wyze Battery Cam Pro is coming soon. While continuous or motion-only local recording won’t be available on Wyze Battery Cam Pro at launch, those features are coming soon. Wyze Battery Cam Pro is compatible with microSD cards in the following sizes and formats:
