Wish I would had bought these solar cameras before the others I bought. Wyze are far superior all the way around. Bar none Wyze makes the best product for the money.
The camera itself is nice, however it doesn't seem to record, unless you walk right up to it and get the cameras attention. The detection setting are set to high, motion is set to high, but still doesn't pick up motion to record. My other two spotlight cameras from wyze record every movement, we love those ones, this one not so much.

Hello! We're glad to hear you like the camera itself. We're sorry it's not consistently detecting and recording motion as expected. We appreciate your feedback and understand your frustration. Please contact our Wizards team at https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us so we can assist you further.
No longer need to charge my cam. The location you place your solar cam makes a difference on how it charges. The picture is sharp and wider than my previous chargeable cam. I’m quite happy with this purchase that I bought two more solar cams. It was really easy to set up.
I bought the camera's on a recommendation of a friend. I'm glad I did. Since they auto-track, i didn't need 4 cameras! The clarity is sharp! I'm very happy with my purchase!
The Solar Cam lakes range for detecting movement. It has to be woken up on the AP to track movement at a distance as set up for detection range
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! The Wyze Solar Cam Pan has a motion detection range of up to 30 feet when mounted 8 feet above the ground and tilted 30° downward, as recommended. If you're experiencing issues with detection, here are some tips to optimize its performance:
Ensure Proper Placement: Mount the camera at the recommended height and angle for optimal detection. Adjust Detection Settings: Use the Wyze app to fine-tune the detection sensitivity and customize the detection zone to focus on specific areas. Check for Obstructions: Ensure no objects or barriers are blocking the camera's view, as this can affect motion detection. Bluetooth Setup: The camera uses Bluetooth for setup and connects directly to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, ensuring seamless operation. If the camera seems to require manual activation to detect movement, it might be worth reviewing the settings in the Wyze app or ensuring the firmware is up to date. Let us know if you need further assistance!
The camera is great, but I wish the software would allow continous recording. There are occasions when I would like to turn it on for short periods of time.
