The floodlight is nice. The camera's reporting to you about events...Not so much
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Honestly, 2 things that would be an improvement would be to provide the option to change the color/temperature and to have a rotating camera inside. The fish eye, while it is ok, is not great. All in all however, it seems to be good.
Limites zone controls causes constant false alerts

Verified Purchase:Yes
Camera software doesn't allow for vertical zone settings - even in the most severe down position the top of the zone goes over my fence and catches movement 40+ yards away.
The base is too large, the standard round electric conduit boxes are 4 inches. The Wyze floodlight v2 is just over 5 inches. I had too make a small box to cover the conduit box outside my house to make it a weather tight instation. On the v3 model make the base fit the standard round outdoor conduit boxes.

Pet detection isn't the greatest and the floodlight shuts off while the pet is still out there. My pet goes outside regularly and the camera has only captured it 5 times in the first week of use and the pet went outside probably 50 times. I'm using. The free trial of the different Detections and right now it is not worth the extra fee per month. I hope it gets better yet during my 90 day trial.
This camera is great. I have a variety of other wyze cams but having the built in spotlight is amazing. The video quality is excellent and the spotlugh is incredibly bright.
My only gripe is my flag constantly sets off the flood light. Due to its location I can't set a motion zone to not go off or I lose half of my driveway in the same zone. I wish it would recognize the flag and not set off the lights or send alerts. I can't use the notifications or I get unending motion alerts every minute of the day.
