![]() (if you pay the $15 annual cloud service fee). The Wyze Cam v3 lacks the resolution to identify faces, but it is quite capable of warning you when a human figure walks past your home at 2 a.m. ![]() The idea would be that various people in a given neighborhood could take turns monitoring the watch account, and call the police when the door checkers hit a street late at night. You can share your camera feed and motion alerts with another Wyze user, so in theory multiple people could share their outside cameras to a single neighborhood watch account. Right now I'm trying to persuade a few neighbors to set up v3 cameras as part of a "virtual neighborhood crime watch" experiment. They even include a magnetic base in the camera, and provide a metal disk with a 3M adhesive disk or mounting screw option. Open a window, mount the camera outside it, then close the window onto the flat USB power cable, and you're ready to go. All you need is WiFi and a smartphone, and you can be up and running in (literally) five minutes. Wyze has put considerable effort into making the setup as fast and painless as possible. The real strength of this camera (besides the price) is the ease of installation. What would their motivation be? As it is, Wyze can't build the cameras fast enough. But realistically, I have no expectation of them putting much effort into it. I haven't heard of RTSP firmware for the v3 camera, although Wyze has said they're working on it. ![]() I've never tried larger cards, as that amount of memory provides about 4 days of continuous video storage, which is ample for a camera like this.Īs to RTSP: there was experimental firmware for the v2 camera that you could install, but you'd lose cloud storage of motion clips, and lose advanced detection features.
