At its lowest sensitivity setting, the camera is set off by the slightest movement of a leaf blowing in the breeze. I had hoped it would capture good pictures of a potential burglar, but a snapshot is taken so quickly when any motion is detected that it captures a foot or a hand, not the face or entire body.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, we understand how frustrating it can be when the Wyze Bulb Cam + Accessory Bulbs are triggered by minor movements or fail to capture the full details of a subject. Let’s work together to adjust the settings for better performance. Here are some steps you can take:
1. Adjust Motion Detection Sensitivity Open the Wyze app and navigate to the camera’s Settings > Detection Settings. Under Motion Detection Sensitivity, move the slider to Low to reduce false triggers caused by minor movements like leaves blowing.
2. Configure the Detection Zone In the same Detection Settings menu, tap Detection Zone and toggle it on. Adjust the detection area to focus only on the critical zones where you want motion to be detected. This can help avoid unnecessary triggers from irrelevant areas.
3. Customize Event Recording Go to Settings > Event Recording in the Wyze app. Enable Motion and select All Events. Tap Customize Detections and ensure the boxes for Tag and Notify are checked for relevant motion types. Test the camera by creating movement in the desired area to ensure it captures the full subject.
4. Test and Optimize Placement Ensure the camera is positioned to capture the full body of a person entering the detection zone. Adjust the angle and height for optimal coverage.
These adjustments should help reduce false alerts and improve the quality of captured events. If you continue to experience issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out for further assistance. We’re here to help!
The Wyze bulb cam captures my backyard very well with its wide angle view. The picture is crisp & clear. The light comes on as soon as I open the door.
It's a functional bulb with schedule timer, price is reasonable. Just hope it lasts longer than a year like some of Wyze's products i have experienced.
It is a nice fixture that replaced my bulb and separate camera. I am still learning it and have yet, if possible, to adjust the bulb timing separately from the camera detection. Would like the bulb to dim more than it does at present. I can put it at zero and it still emits a lot of light. Detection zone is not 100% as it detects outside of that window.
It doesn’t keep connection that well. Had to put old bulb back in to have light

We love this little camera! We struggled with putting a camera at our front door since we would have to hire an electrician in order to put on out there. This is perfect! The quality is excellent, the light can be automated and even though we don't need to, I love the option of connecting additional bulbs together.
