Cam OG Indoor/Outdoor 1080p Wi-Fi Smart Home Security Camera with Color Night Vision, Wired, Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, Compatible with Alexa & Google, White (2-Pack), Free Expert Setup

Great home camera. Easy to set up, clear 1080p video, color night vision, and built-in spotlight. Fast motion alerts and two-way audio. Perfect for basic home security at a great price.

Cheap but mighty. I already have one of the newer versions, but picked this up to cover a blind spot in my living room so I can check on my dog when I’m not home. It does exactly what I need, clear video, easy setup, and reliable connection. Great value for the price.

I just bought four of these little cameras in the last month. They are very reasonably priced and I was afraid they wouldn’t be of good quality. I was wrong. The pictures are clear, the colors are crisp. The app is easy to use and has many useful functions and options for settings. The whole set up of cameras and app took about 5 minutes each. They are very responsive to movement and sound and you can adjust the sensitivity. I like that you can set a “detection zone” if you want to cut down on extraneous detections, so instead of monitoring the entire front yard I can just set it to detect if someone actually comes onto my porch if I want. I like that I can also hear what’s outside when in the live mode (and speak to someone outside). The siren, microphone and spotlight work very well. You can set it to make an audible “WYZE” tone outside if it detects someone OR to let them know they are being recorded. I actually have a couple of mine sitting on outside window ledges with the cord coming in under the window to plug in. The cords are flat so it works. The others are mounted outside near outlets and they came with what you need to mount them. I’m not paying for the iCloud storage for the videos because I don’t need it. And since I’m not doing the advanced monitoring there are functions that I don’t get. But that is ok for me right now. Overall, I’m very happy with them. Considering getting one more. You can look back through the recording and they are marked where there were sound/movement detections. My only negative is that you can look back at the video on the app in 30 second increments rather than actually “scrolling” so you could miss something that wasn’t detected. If I take the SIM card out and put it in my laptop I can do more of a “scroll”. I have had a few episodes of verified movements that weren’t detected/notified/marked on the video but nothing big. That aside, I highly recommend. And I’ll add that 10 days after getting these one of my cameras recorded a neighbor’s trailer being stolen. So while I didn’t have the alarm/notification set to go off overnight on that particular camera I was able to give them the footage which they say has been helpful.

This review isn't really about the camera, but the "optional" service provided by Wyze, Cam Plus. Honestly, there isn't much difference between this cam and similar cams on the market. The one I had before this might have arguably been better, but it was somewhat big for my needs so I got this one. Also, I wasn't happy with motion tracking for my pet. They Wyze OG camera construction and quality of the camera is good, however you need to use Cam Plus and/or a SD card to get any real benefit out of this cam. This is where my aggravation comes in. When I first got the camera, I setup motion tracking. Now, its important to note that I use this to monitor my bearded dragon. The AI for these cameras typically expect you to be monitoring a cat or dog, so I turned off the "pet" and other "smart" events because it wasn't working as expected and just set up all motion for event tracking. The last camera didn't catch any of the lizards movement, but the Wyze cam actually tracks movement and occasionally even labels him as "pet". I was happy with this , but lately the service is only catching the beginning and ending of movement. For example, it catches my lizard approaching and leaving the food bowl, but does not show me if he ate or not. I assume this is because of a "cool down" period in the motion tracking. This wouldn't be a major issue for just pet tracking, but I can see how this has security implications. You could see someone approach and leave your house, but miss them actually stealing your packages! For my needs, this is an issue. I am writing a book on pet nutrition and I need to be able to observe my pet eat the food I make so I can take notes. Simply knowing he went over to the food bowl does not help. In other words, I need this for research and Wyze is failing me. To alleviate this problem, I bought an SD card. Now all activity is captured but my problem is not resolved because it is very slow to review the footage from the SD card and if there is a way to speed up playback, I do not see that option. I have tried scrolling and going to the exact time that I know activity happened and still I see nothing in the footage. The timeline will tell you there are events, but not play them. You have to click on the number of events icon to open up a separate even slower timeline that will eventually display what I'm looking for. I haven't done so yet, but I suspect my only way to resolve this is to record the section of footage I know the activity happened at from the SD card, download it to another application, and then view it at the speed I want. That's too much work when I'm already paying for Cam Plus. A simple "jump to" command where I can enter a time and view what happened then, would go a long way. My last issue with Cam Plus is the application and web view. The web view sucks due to a lack of features and its the one I use most often to monitor my pet. Unlike my previous camara and accompanying service, I cannot record, take pictures, etc. from the web view. This can only be done in the app. I wfh and am at my desk all day with web view open. If my lizard does something that I want to capture I have to open my phone quickly and hope I can catch it in time or just record it later using the process described above. Another issue is having to log in to web view every single time WITH multi-factor authentication even though I only access it from the same computer on the same network every time. Recently, a "Remember me" option was added but stopped working after a week. Generally, I am happy with the camera but extremely frustrated with the Cam Plus service. I'm going to stick it out because I have already invested this much, but if there isn't improvement soon I will be looking for a new camera and service. For those of you who haven't made the investment yet, I recommend spending more time researching the Cam Plus service instead of the camera. Again, its a camera, it will do the job it was made to do. But like any camera, how you use it and the tools it uses (Cam Plus) make a huge difference.

Watch your pet from outside your home. This camera works great, very easy to connect and clear pictures

Excellent product!

I have so many of these cams and I love them! It has an free app you can use to see what's going on wherever you've setup the cams. They work great outdoors and indoors. You can flip them 180 degrees upside down if needed and change the setting in the app so they are the right way up. They work in the dark and have motion sensing for recording. Great little cams! Love them.

I received a camera that doesn't work. Is still within return n replace window. The chat window that opens on selecting replace doesn't provide any resolution other than technical trouble shooting. Amazon and vendor no one is reachable. finally call gets connected on the last day of eligible returns, and they refuse to acknowledge 6 days of chat history. And Amazon declined to replace, even though within return /replace window. Not worth buying, based on the terrible customer service interface

It came with a usa two pin usb plug but other than that it's good

Great camera! I had to upgrade from my old camera system because my ISP changed modems, this new Wyze camera is amazing! It's pretty clear, sound is great, and it's super super easy to set up. No issues whatsoever! Just a note: the micro USB port is covered by a silicon sleeve, that sleeve can be taken off in case you're using a different micro USB cable (I bought a longer right-angle one, 6-feet isn't long enough).
