How is it most of the videos on YouTube don't show you how to setup the base station. That's kind of a important step. Thank you for showing EVERY step.

Wyze you produce one fantastic little camera for the money! I’ve had six of the v3 cameras on my boat in the salt, water environment for years and not a problem. I just upgraded to the V4 and a picture quality is outstanding.😁😁😁😁

Wyze really needs to develop a mount for no-drill vinyl sliding. We literally have no place on our house that isn't covered by vinyl siding or a false stone siding, and my options are limited to drilling or velcro/taping the camera into place. There are secondary market camera vinyl siding hooks available, but the screw sizes are all meant for other cameras. I mentioned this to one of the developers of those products, and they said they'd look into a similar product for Wyze. Wyze should probably look into creating vinyl siding mounts before the secondary markets do, otherwise they're just leaving money on the table.

Thank you for responding to my question. I gave up on the WYZE camera about a year ago. The company was absolutely impossible to deal with. They never responded to me regarding my questions and any email they sent to me was not an email that I could even respond back to. I am completely done with Wyze.

I wish the camera could be secured onto the base. Just having a magnet makes it much more of a risk for theft.

12 second motion videos are not long enough. Also how do I store motion videos to the Camera SD or Base station SD card?

I have my regular Wyze cams outside and they connect to the WiFi no problem. They are covered from rain and I just use a really long power wire and run it inside. My outdoor power outlets don’t work or I’d just use those. I’ve had one at my front door for years anyone could take it but nobody has because I have 3 others inside facing the front of the house so they can see they would be caught on the other indoor cameras.

On a side note about my indoor cams I am not happy with the sound recording quality. It is very hard to hear what people are saying most of the time. I also notice that the time I want to see the footage the most is always glitching and distorted. It skips frames and I can’t hear what they said. I have nurses in my house for my non-verbal disabled child and want to be able to see and hear them whenever so I can make sure he’s not being abused.

Almost 5 months and still works amazing. This is a must by what you got to lose.

I have all my wyze cams outside I have them covered with electrical tape. one of them got soaked in the rain.. you could hear the water in the unit sloshing around I got all the water out blew into it let it set for about 20 min and BOOM the sucker was back online! you guys have the BEST product out there ! I have tried many different models much more expensive and not near as good! THESE ARE THE BEST EVER! I have 5 cameras and just purchased 2 more and the new outdoor wireless ones I cannot wait !

Bought outdoor camera August of 2020. I am too busy and do not have a lot of time to sit around and try to get set up going. When setting up the camera, it won’t connect. I’ve read the instructions and watched set up instructions on YouTube, still can’t get my camera to sync and connect. I bought 3 cameras, all 3 would not connect. The camera was sitting right next to base station. I emailed the customer service and they gave me same instructions, try this and try that, still nothing. I am ticked for wasting my money on 3 cameras. Almost a year later, I’m still trying to get it going, hoping my luck would change. Nope! 😡

Really hope that you guys start shipping to Canada soon.

After my station is up and running again the base station would not connect to my wifi even though I waited over 20 minutes. I am a firmware engineer so I know how to setup this device correctly and use to fowllow instructions very carefully. The instructions may be confusing but it was clear to me. Unfortunately, I try to configure the replace base station but I got the same blinking blue light.

I have several Wyze cameras and their scale. The thing I absolutely love is their overall quality and bang for the buck. I backed this product and just received this past week, added it to my app (ios). This is the first time I have been dissatisfied with a Wyze product. Battery life is rather short and the app seems to crash a lot. It seems to me that this particular product might have been rushed. I hope that this is a onetime deal and not a preview of more to come.

[SarahPetrey]

Completely thrilled with my Wyze cams. Great wide lens view without distortion. I had no problems installing what so ever, very simple instructions. Great job to the Wyze guys!!

Looks impressive. But how to you recharge the battery? Do you have to keep climbing a ladder every few days, through the winter, to remove the unit for charging? I don't see a power cord going to the camera. Is the charging jack on the back weather resistant so I can run power to the camera?

I bought 2 cam pan's and 3 indoor v2's. You should create a video about how the notification options and setup of notifications work. I have been spending a lot of time searching youtube, and your help area; and I am unsure why I am not getting any notifications even though I have it turned on. Do I have to have an SD card on all these cameras? I have the trial live streaming cloud feature running, but all this is more confusing that I expected. I set up the ring doorbell for my daughter and it worked awesome. Started sending image alerts to her phone automatically. But I like the price of your system better. Any help is greatly appreciated.

She put the ceiling camera on upside-down. In an actual setup, doing this will trigger a lot of false motion alerts and potentially ignore real ones, since the PIR sensor would be pointing towards the sky. When mounting on the ceiling, stick the magnet to the top of the camera.

Does the base station need to stay hard-wired to the LAN or can it go wireless?

[coffeegulper]

A lot of people use alum/vinyl siding. How about some instructions for installing the camera on that?

[dennisdemenace]

I noticed its not a hard wired camera so it uses a battery. My question is can it also be wired? Also is the battery replaceable
