So far the solar cam pan cameras have been okay. I've had them for two weeks. However I am not completely satisfied with them, the power drains very rapidly! I have the solar panel directly with sunlight all day and not once have I seen the camera fully charged! Im considering returning these as they were very expensive and just purchasing a regular cam pan 360 that goes directly plugged to a power outlet as I have those and have not had any issues! It will cause an inconvenience to me but feel its the most reliable option for me and my home.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great camera and picture. I like that I can put this camera anywhere in range of my WiFi signal and record events to the SD card. Only complaint or change is that I wish it would record longer videos when motion is detected. Because the camera won’t record 24/7, when it does detect motion and begins to record I would like it to continue recording for 30s to a minute after motion stops. I will have clips that end while something is still happening in the camera that I want to be able to see. Having a camera that just grabs short clips and you have to hope what you want got captured in that short clip isn’t ideal.
I purchased 2 of these Wyze Solar Pan Cams to cover the gap areas on my property. The installation was super simple, setup was trivial, and the solar panel is keeping them charged. The person tracking feature has been very helpful in just the first few days. Well done, great product!!!
The flexibility of this device is great. No more extension cords running in all directions. I am able to get cameras where I couldn't before. Perfect way to keep nan eye on my animals in a larger area. I have been waiting in this product for years. Thanks Wyze for getting this one out
I've only been using it about two weeks but I am very impressed! The quality,the picture, everything seems to be top notch. Battery seems to be a hundred percent all the time.The only issue I have is the actual event recording.It doesn't seem to pick it up or record for mor than a few seconds. I'm still learning!
