So far it works well. I'm playing with the sensitivity settings. It picks up reflections and water movement in the pool as motion, especially if it's windy
So handy to have this and not run wires - it is almost always at a full charge where I mounted it - and having it track people at our entrance has been great peace of mind.
Hadn’t even opened it and there was already a recall on it. The fix is to just not use the wrong screws that are two long to attach the solar panel so you don’t penetrate the case and then the battery which is definitely a hazard. I could figure that out but others apparently couldn’t. They also locked it out of the app so I can’t even install it the right way on my own.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello! We're sorry for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the recall and app restrictions. We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns about the installation process. Please contact our Wizards team at https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us so we can assist you further.
The solar power panel and battery size provide solid battery life. Picture is very clear and view is wide angle. I was under the assumption that this cam would pickup movement and automatically follow the target. That is not true. You can move the camera around with the app, but it doesn’t track movement. I hope that you guys can develop one as I have described above. I like the fact that it doesn’t have to be plugged in.

Just point the solar panel to the south sky into the sun and it works great. follows anyone who walks in to the view and rotates almost 360 in the process. just be sure to put the panel in the direct sun pointed south.
You have to jump up and down in front of it to start recording and sometimes that doesn't work either.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, thank you for your honest feedback and I’m really sorry to hear about the trouble you’re experiencing with motion detection. I understand how frustrating it can be when the camera doesn’t reliably start recording, especially when you’re counting on it for security. This isn’t the experience we want you to have, and there may be some detection settings or placement factors that we can help optimize to improve performance.
