I swear to you, your explanation is very wonderful and I was impressed. So I thought the sound problem was in my house. But now I know that the bad sound is from the camcorder. The problem is that everything in Wyze is beautiful and wonderful. But the audio, believe me, you need it sometimes for recording. And I hope Wyze will review this video to improve the sound quality of its cameras. Thank you from the heart

I have wyze cams, Like them, but here are some things not mentioned: App dependability is not great, cameras often have to be power cycled, and it seems whenever cams have a firmware update it takes 2-3 days for them to start working again. It takes a motion alert 18 seconds minimum to get to my phone, sometimes several minutes. No dark mode - wyze says they can't do it, the app background is very bright, if you check an alert in the middle of the night you'll see spots for a while.

Also I’m kind of not liking it after few months of used for the mini, It’s stops like u showed here. So I am getting the Wyze now, even if the audio not so good but that’s okay. I’ll take it over blink. Thank you for posting your videos.

I bought both. The one i ended up returning was the Blink. It did not trigger the notifications or events after coming home (would trigger for first 10 mins when we turned it on, but a few hours later when we got home, would not trigger. Amazon is full of similar reviews) Wyze does notify us. That is a crucial feature for me. And the continuous recording is a great feature which Blink did not offer

Great review, thank you! As far as audio, it's of zero concern to me, so Wyze is the winner for me, and I have several v2 and v3 cams that I'm perfectly happy with especially after they improved the detection zone. Only issue for me is they're very phone-based so they don't provide support to monitor the cams on your laptop, but .. BlueStacks solved this problem for me. The support I received from them is pretty good too.

I bought a set of 3 Blink minis during Amazon Prime days without really researching much, also a Ring which I have already returned. Since my return window is closing in for the Blinks, I started doing my research. I really only want this camera to see my cats when I am away....yeah, I'm one of those...😊. So when I watched another video, that was when learned about the limited viewing time for live video. So I then found your side by side comparison, and you explained everything so well, I will finally be returning my Blinks on Monday (don't you love Amazon free returns?) and checking out bundle prices for the Wyze. I did think that the audio from the Wyse was awful, though. I guess I won't be conversing with my cats when I check in on them. Out of curiosity, is the outgoing sound (from the phone through the camera to the ones being filmed) just as bad? Thanks for a great video!

Steve, great job as always! Well done. I am a long time subscriber and, like you, I am a Wyze product guy since they first introduced the Wyze Cam Pan (I have 7 of them covering the interior of my home). I also have their scale, vacuums (small and big stick) and watch. I was very impressed with the video and very disappointed with audio, and the opposite with Blink. Since both things are important to me, I would definitely stick to Wyze because I can still listen for sounds. I just wouldn't plan to have conversations over it. I do use outdoor Blinks to cover outside, but nighttime viewing is poor. However, I also have Arlo cameras outside, and they are great.

The blink mini has a better viewing experience on daytime if frames per second matters to you. Audio quality is so much better on the blink mini too. I do own 5 Wyze cams for home monitoring and they have been working great since 2 years from now. One thing I don't get about the blink mini though is the 30 seconds live clip thing. If a motion triggers the recording, will you have then only a 30 seconds clip recorded on the cloud\local storage or the entire event \ clip will be then available to watch ?

I love Wyze cameras, and would use that for security. However, while it's not a popular opinion, I do like the Blink's narrower field of view. The view isn't as distorted and appears more naturalistic, making it easier to judge distances. So 2 points for audio and field of view. Other than those two area, the Wyze camera blows Blink out of the water.

I am using both Blink and Wyze V3. As well as a Wyze outdoor. Wyze is best hands down. Love the Wyze outdoor no wires unless you want to. I have the V3 attached to inside of garage door facing with easy power cord attached showing my driveway. Never misses anything. On the Blink I have it attached to front corner of the house facing across the front yard with front of the house view. It is powered with solar. It is terrible. It seldom ever catches any person in front of it or my vehicle as I leave the garage or return. The mail man crosses in front of it every day but never shows an event. It loved vehicles on the street but only some of them but at night I think it catches most every one of them. It does catch me while on my mobility scooter driving towards it as I get close. People can mill around on my driveway which is about 30 feet from the camera and it doesn’t catch them. As for sound I don’t use it but I love the live view on the Wyze and the Wyze doorbell camera which also works great. Good video. Thanks.

@wellcraft19 Жыл бұрын

I have a bunch of Wyze and one Mini. Different use cases. The Mini is at the moment also semi-attractive as you can get two (2) Blink Mini for $29. Hard to beat price. Wyze has their issues with SW, Mini their issues with HW. Both sort of deliver what can be expected in this price range - where Wyze is totally outstanding when it comes to nighttime performance (especially if you have just a wee bit of residual light so you can turn off the built-in IR illuminator LEDs). Wyze works normally pretty well, but there has been more than once instance when one camera alerts for motion (and records), and the camera next to it (I have a few cameras looking at same area) is totally oblivious. This for cameras that are on CamPlus subscriptions. Basic for both cameras - as the WiFi radios are what they are - is that you need a solid RF environment at home. That means good performance on 2.4 GHz, not too much interference from neighboring AccessPoints (neighbors, especially if living in a multi-dwelling building...) and not having put in too many APs yourself. Hence, I have had very few disconnects or access issues with Wyze (I know that is not the case for everyone, but I firmly believe that more than 90% is unrelated to Wyze and can be attributed to the general RF environment).

@wellcraft19 Жыл бұрын

@@fabian987m no, the Wyze does not come with a battery - but is easy to power off any battery (bank) if so desired. Power draw for the V3 is less than .25A at 5V so no massive drain. Wyze does make a cam with a battery 'WCO - 'WyzeCam Outdoor' but unsure if I'd truly recommend it. But in a case where here are no other options for power, I guess is an alternative. But as the WiFi AP never can be too far away, I always see the option as running a cable as feasable.

Well, darn. Wyze missed out with that horrible audio. The other features, though, were so much better than Blink. Perhaps, if audio is an important feature, one could buy 1 of each camera and use them side by side? Is that even possible? Or perhaps look for another camera close to the price that it would cost to buy these 2 camera's... that has all of the good features. Sad part is that when you watch all these reviews, and read product reviews, it seems like every camera is missing at least one useful feature, no matter what the price range is. But, if I have to stick with a $35 - $40 price range, I'd pick the Wyze. I prefer the picture quality over audio quality. Let's face it, will a criminal do much talking anyway? The picture quality is what will help identify the bad guy, more so that the audio. At least, that's what I think. 🤷‍♀ As always, Steve, love the way you do your comparisons. It really is helpful. Thanks.

I bought a blink cam without looking at this video.. I agree with everything you said. But I will stick with what I have to late now \

Dang I bought the two pack of the blink cams I got them for $29.99. I figured $15 a camera was a pretty good deal.

Do you know if the wyze works with TMobile 5g internet. Or any camera? Tried using 2,4 on a previous camera and won't connect. Thanks

Mine worked fine with T-Mobile 5G Home Internet when I had it. Try a different, simple network name (not hidden) and password with standard letters and numbers.

The wyze audio is not excellent but mine is better than the demo you did. I use it to talk to the kids sometimes. It also has sound detection and a cool feature of detecting home alarm sirens. Just one thing: FOr the Wyze cam to use the SD, it MUST be 32gb or less. It won't work with 64 or above. Weird but true

Also, There is a workaraound to get the WYZE cams on a Fire stick TV and you can tell Alexa to show you live feeds.

Wyze is definitely the winner and my choice..wyze just needs to fix there audio.. Blinks video in the daytime was alot smoother..they must do 25 to 30fps..

Blink wins by a mile on video (daytime)and audio clarity but wyze has the best physical features. Tough choice... the wyze audio was absolutely terrible ima get both. Blink for audio and wyze for extended viewing lol
