Wyze Cam Outdoor V2 - Better or Failed Again? Features, Unboxing, Setup & Testing

Рет қаралды 67,185

Күн бұрын

Today, we are going to check and review the Wyze Cam Outdoor V2 or version 2. This is the second iteration of Wyze's Outdoor Camera and we will check out its new features which a starlight sensor is one of them. What other new features does it have? We will find out in this video. Also, when I reviewed the original Wyze Cam Outdoor more than a year ago, I marked it as a Fail for Wyze, so we will see if the WCO V2 is better or is it another Fail?

I have 4 wyze cameras. About 2 weeks ago, police knocked on my door to ask if they could look at the footage. They were able to see the 2 thieves who had broken in a house down the street. That was pretty neat. However Wyze is getting on my nerves with their constant change in service/subscription. Also I have tons of issues with false alerts and absent notifications.

When we bought our new house that was 3+ hours away from our old house and left it mostly vacant for a month before we fully moved in, Wyze was a great solution to be able to just throw a single camera on the windowsill facing the outside just for "checking in" until we fully got there. Wyze cams are great for beginners who just want simple surveillance/observation. We currently have 2 inside and 1 outside that we use to check in on our doggo/home when we are out of the house and they are great as a cheaper additional set of eyes. For actual security we have Eufy and the combo of the two seems to work well for us overall. They have their place in the market, but I believe that place has always been overexaggerated: Wyze Cams should be treated as an additional touch to a smart home ecosystem that goes hand in hand with their bulbs and plugs, not as a full-blown legitimate home security system.

One thing you need. Solar panel. I found that the v1 performs better when the battery is over 95%. I have two cameras in the back yard one v2 pan and one v1 outdoor. I am upgrading to the outdoor v2 specifically for the start light. Also using the infrared on the outdoor uses more battery that is why people should just use the star light and add the wyze solar panel and flood light for improved efficiency.

We were having issues with the cam's recording up to :12 video's (getting quite a bit of "still shots" instead).....we blamed it on our Wifi, which was 2.4 initially, but we upgraded to 5.0-ish. Didn't solve a thing. We have 3-v1's and 1-v2. None work 100% all the time, (they used to) - but for the price - it's a give & take for us. Great for wild animals, people walking by, passing cars, etc. However, if we did need "real" security...... we suggest looking elsewhere - and bring a bigger wallet..... Very informative vid LH!!

I have almost all the Wyze products. In the last year, I have had a lot of problems. Most of the problems are with the software. Every time the firmware is updated the programmer forgets something and it will require an additional update. When you have an open service ticket no one follows up. They need to QC after each firmware update.

I have quite a few Wyze products and I feel like a beta tester. I cant complain as they are cheap, I get it. I feel the product team is not made up of actual home owners, but more apartment dwellers. The products lack many features that other competing products have, specifically the home alarm system. The cameras are decent, but not really suitable to be called “security” cameras. The recording limits are ridiculous. Local SSD storage is easy to steal and destroy, the view/resolution at a distance is useless. Again, they are cheap and easy to set up, so I cant complain.

So if I am planning to use this outdoor cam with Camplus (do not need memory card recording actually) the base station does not need to be connected to the router all the time, is that correct or does the base station need to be connected with a CAt5 cable all the time?

Greetings from Torrance! So much to unpack and most of it is bad. I was hoping that this would be an improvement, but the hardest part to get over is the notification delay. So much could happen in 30 seconds and if you find out later, it might be way too late. Wyze is still an affordable option, but all that is going to happen is seeing much later someone breaking into your house or car and only having a minute of it.

why this camera is a fail: just like the v1, since the camera is designed to be waterproof, there is no way to service or replace the rechargeable battery when it fails. this camera is not designed for high activity usage or constant remote access views by the user - both which drains the battery sooner, causing the battery to fail sooner. so, when the battery fails you are left with a base station and a useless camera paperweight. if you do replace the battery yourself it is no longer waterproof, or if it is then likely it's a hacked up diy stitched together. this camera is made for light, occasional use.

Hey Just a Request ------- you do a lot of advertising and reviewing of Wyze cams... I think it's in your best interest to do a video on the recent vulnerabilities found. These cameras went 3 years without a fix and you still need to MANUALLY update it! it's remote execution! if you have a version 1 wyze cam there is no fix!

I don't advertise for them.. I review their products.. this video will be way different if they pay me money to make a video. As to their recent issue... I have to read up some more in this but I know they released a response to it -> www.wyze.com/pages/response-to-3-29-22-security-report

@@LifeHackster you may not be sponsored by them but people do follow your recommendations and it would be prudent to put out a warning video to people who did. Also it's prudent to point out that it took them years for this fix when they've already been alerted about it. Version one is still going to be vulnerable going forward

Comparir the hub of the v1 and v2

@LifeHackster 2 жыл бұрын

It is the same hub. I think it is just the camera sensor that is different.

continuously record with micro sd? or no such thing at all.

@LifeHackster 2 жыл бұрын

You can set it for scheduled continuous recording. Please note that is will drain the battery faster.

I don't recomend Wyze v2 as the night vision, the views are totally black if there is no lighting around, and can't mosion anything unless we want to record just sound detection. I recommend to go for wyze v3 .

I have the V1 and the V2 plus a ton of v3s but I have no night time problems at all are you sure you're settings are right on the v1 the night vision is good on the V2 it is excellent.

The audio is horrible ! for a newer model that is just not good at all. the only thing i see good about this is starlight sensor . you are better off getting a eufy E40 solo cam with A.i And good battery life . this camera in my opinion might be good as a bird watcher camera in a bird feeder.. other than that its pretty useless. you be Wyse to skip on this one.

Got 2 of these thinking the 1st one was just a bad batch with the audio quality making a horrible noise and unusable. 2nd one sounded the same. And I see yours is the same. So basically they're selling a lemon product that doesn't really work properly. Better to get a wyze v3 camera and just get a long ubs cord to plug it in. Waste of money here. 💯
