Great camera in regard to the view and quality of the picture. What needs to be more clear is that it needs to be hardwired to power - not battery. I have the older Wyze Cam that has a battery that still works well. Got this one to upgrade to improved night vision and overall upgrade. Didn’t realize that the one I bought (yes, I should have read specs), needed to be hardwired. Otherwise, I love everything I’ve bought so far from Wyze (camera, watch, plug).
Camera is better than the last gen, but losing the ability to view video “events” like I have on my other 16 cameras, was a huge let down. Had I not mounted these outside and not checked the cards for a couple days, I probably would have returned them. Just getting an event “image” unless I subscribe to a service is poor practice and goes against what we, those who launched you, were told back then. I’ve been a supporter since the initial pilot, but will not be using Wyze’s services as soon as I configure my DVR & network because I won’t be paying a monthly fee.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not happy with my wyze cam. Always freezes. Unplugging and plugging several times to reboot. Works for a few minutes then freezes. WiFi signal strength at full bars with average of 400 Mbps.
