Blue tooth and WiFi made set up easy. I still need some help with all the options. It notifies me that the car I park in my driveway is in my driveway. I was smart enough to get it to disregard cats and rabbits but when the bats came out at night and kept setting off the flood lights I some how turned off that feature. So clearly I have more work to do with Programing it. I find this to be a great product. A tutorial that I can watch on my desktop while going through the AP on my phone would be helpful. Until then I may be getting less than full function on this unit.
Expanded field of view and higher resolution are appreciated. Motion detection and alerts are out of control. Lights are somehow less bright than the Floodlight v1, and stay illuminated even when OFF, as detected by the night vision IR spots exactly where the lights are pointed.
Excellent product exceeded my expectations. Image Quality is fantastic, viewing Angie is great and it’s ability to detect properly is great. Highly recommend
Greatly Improved, but some room for more improvement still. Camera is better, field of view is way better. Floodlight is definitely brighter. But voice warning that you're being recorded needs to have options...say it 2-3 times and then shut up! Love the option to scare of robbers (we've had two instances) but if you're out doing yard work it's super annoying. Also...alerts go off every 10-20 seconds if someone is standing in front of it...maybe notify me once not constantly (again yardwork or similar).
HUGE improvement over the base Wyze Cam Floodlight

HUGE improvement over the regular Wyze Cam Floodlight. The view is so much larger and sharper. Definitely a worthwhile and necessary upgrade. I had been a bit disappointed with the regular Wyze Floodlight Cam coming from a Ring Floodlight Cam that had a much larger field of view but the LED lights had died on that. But this Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro blows everything out of the water! Love it!
I replaced a Wyze floodlight with this Floodlight Pro due to poor performance from the older version after 2 months. I installed this Pro Floodlight very easily and it would not sync to my internet. After verifying that maybe my internet signal strength was not enough to reach this floodlight, I added a range extender. It worked and the Pro floodlight was activated and worked……for about a week. It records every movement , but I am not able to view a Live Feed when I want to view the Pro floodlight. That’s why I rated it one star. The only good thing about the camera is the ability to record…. Hopefully that doesn’t stop on me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Floodlight Pro is pretty good. The 2.5K which is a 2K camera which is has a wide angle view, due to the pixel spreading , has the 0.5K designation, sacrifices some imaging resolution (compared to the Wyze Cam V3 Pro 2K which has a '2K resolution' field of pixel). The playback from a microSD card is "strange". Even with a 256Gb microSD card, the Floodlight Pro seems to 'only' be able to access the last 45minutes of video (with the Camera Settting set to CONTINOUS Record - this is odd. Sometimes, the Camera can playback more, such as an 1hour or more but most of the time it cannot? When I have time, will try to change the WiFi Network to my 2.4G (from the 5G WiFi network to see if it might fix the Playback of the Floodlight Pro camera behave more like all the other Wyze cameras (e.g. V3, V3 Pro, OC 3X Telephoto, & V2 Scan Pan cameras). Perhaps the slow OR no playback access beyond 45 minutes of recordings 'from present time' us due to the use od Burst communications when connecting thru the faster 5G WiFi network ???? => Other than the annoying quirks mentioned above, the Floodlight Pro is pretty good ....but surely could be better especially if the playback from the memory card is fixed.
