My guy, I was fishing around google reading about this cam. I looked up videos, and I was like "I hope he has a review, and it shows up on the side". You turned out to be the video I clicked from Google. Your videos first, everyone else second.

thank you so much for the content you make. it was because of you that i purchased my first Wyze camera and have been a happy customer ever since!! The work you put into your videos does not go unnoticed!

Thanks bro! I knew you would come through! I just ordered 2 units.

You do the best camera reviews ever...thank you.

Excellent and informative review as always

I just got the V4 and I'm testing it now so far it's been fantastic....the audio is absolutely amazing it's so clear I'm 100 percent satisfied with it. Setup was easy, the picture is clear and people always say the picture is not sharp ..... always clean the camera lens even a new one. So far I love it.

I really wish they would do 30fps now. I have been with wyze since 2018. I think it's time by now...

Very thorough review, nice work THX

I have 6 v3 on my boat for a few years now and the work great! Salt water environment 24/7 and not a problem! Thinking 🤔 of upgrading to v4 😁👍🏻

Another great video thanks LifeHackster 👍

Always my go to channel when a new security cam drops

Spotlight him a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I’m gonna get another one with the wired version on it instead of battery.

I’m more impressed with your video than the Wyza Cam V4. Well done, short and to the point, with really good tests. Thank you !

Love you videos, and I always appreciate your analysis. Is this new Wyze cam really that much better than the regular v3 (not v3 Pro, which was worse than the v3 IMO)? I guess the daytime picture looks sharper and little more detailed, but the color night vision without the LED looked really grainy. I would have loved to see a side-by-side with the v3...

I'm really starting to like the compact cube design for cameras It's less noticeable further away and easier to hide and that's from someone that has 10+ reolink cams. I don't think reolink will have anything similar to this design anytime soon. Detail looks good for 2k res. Only thing left is an all black ptz version.

Is the microphone better on the V4 than the V3? Always found it difficult to hear what people are saying on V3 recordings.

Thanks L.H.

Hi. Is it possible to use this as a static camera for pointing at the sky to track stars? And does it have a wide angle setting? Sorry, I watched your very comprehensive video, but couldn't take it all in (ADHD), so would be really grateful for a comprehensive answer to this question. If not, could you recommend one that does? Thank you very much

Wow! I just saw the news from Wyze earlier today and now I see you doing a review. That's really fast haha. Thanks for this video, it made me decide to go with this v4 instead the v3.

Cool that the lamp socket is supported. If my current v3 fails, at least ill have a newer cam option to replace it with. Makes you wonder if the Floodlight v1 could get a little support love with this new cam down the road.

Great job Wyze 👏. Wyze continues to show they are serious about improving their cameras and keeping up with technology. Ring, Arlo, Nest, Blink and some others do not show the same commitment as Wyze. Reolink is for a few people willing to install POE cameras and NVRs. Eufy is promising and good for people who want to pay more upfront and not pay a subscription. I am fine paying $100 per year to Wyze for all the benefits I get in return. No camera system is perfect. Wyze continues to meet the needs for most consumers. Thank you LH for the review, I personally don’t turn on motion tagging since I find it distracting. I also like using the entire screen in portrait mode instead of the focus feature. I just ordered 6 V4s.

Why is the nighttime video with or without the spotlight so bad? My Wyze Cam 3s seem to look better at night then the v4.

Does the V4 allow bloom/bright lights settings so the picture isn't washed out in certain lighting conditions, street lights, snow reflecting during the day, car lights, etc.

Great video. I just wanted to check if it needs to be wired all the times and secondly, if it the cam can follow the subject(pan, tilt) like the V3?

Can you power the Wyze cam V4 from the Wyze cam flood light V1?

I noticed with a couple cameras[wyze, Yi] that were outside getting direct sunlight the plastic was getting kind of a dullness to it like car headlights I'm thinking about coating them with those UV wipes that they use for plastic headlight covers it's just a wipe on wipe off

I'd like to see a video of V1, V2, V3 & V4 all at once in different lighting (4K KZfaq video). V3 do great in low light. Are V4 any better? I'm disappointed Wyze went with grey. I used black Plasti Dip on my white cams and bought black for the others. You make great videos! Thanks!

I wish they would release a high-end camera for home security but I have to wyze telescope camera which works pretty well long distance

Thanks for the video. Is there an alternative that is still magnetic and weatherproof, but doesn’t hide so many app features behind the subscription?

Is there a wifi jammer notification on wyze app if one or 2 camera goes offline or affected by jammer ?

Some other options out there. But my Wyze cheap cameras still going since the beginning of their release. Also prefer a quicker response like my Tapo. The important thing is nice to see you still jog cross the yard with ease.

What about testing the distance from the wifi source with this V4

The audio has improved significantly

Will it stop breaking? Of the more than 60 v3 I've purchased for myself and help managing for others.. 4 are still working. They primarily die by some power connector issue they start power cycling nonstop faster and faster and at some point the put out a "scream". Sounding like locked up motor. They also get hot. Despite excellent network connection frequently have to wait many seconds and reload many times to get live video sometimes doesn't get live video for quite a while. They also kill endurance microSD cards So many issues Tons with wyze2 before though less and unreasonable failure rate as well but not anything like v3.

I'm experiencing another problem with these Wyze Cam 4's, where it won't switch to other cameras using the Fire Stick voice remote. While I can switch between any of my Cam 3 feeds, once I'm viewing a Cam 4 feed, it won't respond to any voice commands to switch to another camera. I must now completely exit out of the feed and voice prompt to another Camera view.

Hi I'm a big fan of your content.

Still annoyed that Wyze hasn't released an updated Lamp Socket that's compatible with the newer cams. I still have the regular V3.

does your lights under the under hang when on , Help or distort the viewing?

V4 has the same resolution as the v3 pro. In app, my v4 doesn't give me a resolution option higher than 2k... and it also uses the same exact 4mp camera as the v3 pro. Not sure why I bought the v4. I don't see much of a difference although I'm happy they brought back the usb dongle connector from the V2 that they got rid of on the v3 pro, the dongle offers better water protection.

Any recommendations for a constantly recording 24/7 set up, that’d have to be wireless and affordable.

Man you tickle my bones to get this unit man I don’t know what I’m gonna do with all those wyze cameras at home. You know what I don’t care I’m getting it.

So if I have v3s already wired up can I just swap and plug in ? Or do I have to use the new power adapter that comes with it only?

I'm experiencing an issue with both my Wyze 4 Cams. One is installed outdoors and the other is positioned inside, looking through a window. However, when I view their feeds on my TV, the quality appears to be only 480p, unlike my older Wyze Cam 3 cams which continue to display perfectly. Can you or someone provide assistance in resolving this issue?

Thanks for your great Video. Could you help me better understand how I can use the camera (in terms of remote viewing) without a paid subscription? Can I set it up on motion and when motion is detected, then snap shots will be taken that I can see on my phone using the wyze app or even see and record the live video to my phone for viewing later. Again, only interested in what I can access without a subscription. Or without a subscription is my only option is to take the micro card out and read it on a device with nothing accessible through the app? Thank you.

How would you rate this vs eufy indoor cam and eufycam 3?

Will you do a V4 vs 3pro & V3?

Quick question Tapoc120 Riolinkcx410 Or wyze cam v4 Which one would ypu choose? Thank you

any chance you could do a video on what you would recommend store owners / boutiques? I would love to have a cam set up that lets me also zoom in to see what models of clothes we have layed out without having to go into the store.

how long do the SD card last with 24/7 recording and also can I erase the footage from the SD card directly from the app or I need to take out the SD erase it and put it back

I like Wyze, but have moved to Eufy. The only reason I’m keeping my existing v3 cams is the Wyze app and its ability to view multiple live view cams on one screen. Eufy does not seem to have this feature. Thanks for the review. Great job as usual!

Do you think the V4 will be better than V3 with regards to lights on my house setting it off? I have Govee Smart lights on my house and like to change the themes - many of them set off my cameras when they change brightness… it’s very annoying to get hundreds of notifications a night. My older Arlo cameras never did that.

Microphone is better (finally) but still no HomeKit support and FOV is even narrower than before. You’re going the wrong way Wyze.

the grey color looks sick!

Do you think this is a good option for a retail store? I need 24/7 recording, what do you recommend for a retail environment such as monitoring a cash register? Please help!

thanks!

What router or mesh system brand and model do you use to supply all of your devices?

Can you still save video recording if you don’t do the monthly subscription?

Interesting product.

How can turn it off the flash light when the camera is recording a mean in thr night. This camera has front light. When it detect something the light is ON. How to turn it Off?

The specs are impressive, but the biggest selling point for me was the new grey color. I really like the color scheme!

Great review. Hope to see comparison video with Tapo c120. 💐🌹👍🌹💐

Wow this will be a great upgrade for my Wyze Floodlight V1

I need to know the detection at night from 40ft and if it can read car plates at night. If so what is the best setting? Trying to catch this deal before the 31st when it ends but so far every wyze camera I own they say is better and it does that it really doesn't. The only ones that came close are the v3 and I at least get cam lite free lol. The og are horrible and were a waste of money and stuck with a bunch of them but use them as fillers in blind spots.

Can you review the LUMUs 2k ? Havnt seen anyone reviewing it. No videos anywhere.

How is the resolution compared to the V3 Pro?

Can this V4 record past events on SD card without subscription to CamPlus ? Please let me know. Thanks

Can I use the power supply from my v3 camera?

Hey It’s nice not bad. Video not good at distance but atleast it picked you up at at good distance

I have a quick question unrelated to this cam, so please indulge me. I have 2 Tapo C325WB cameras that are brand new. I have discovered that every night at midnight I am unable to access the "Detected Events" recordings from the previous day in the app. It gets stuck at 11:59:59 and eventually tells me there are no recordings. They are still on the memory card, but to see them I have to remove the memory card and use a computer. This means that if an incident occurred at 11 PM, I would have to remove the memory card if I were to check the following morning (or any time after 12 PM). Both cameras do this. Is this standard functionality for these cameras? If not, do you think there is a software problem? Can you test yours and see if you can replicate this issue? Both cameras have the latest firmware, brand new 512 GB cards, and TP-Link doesn't seem to have any idea what's causing it. I like the cameras, but this is very inconvenient if you need to review alerts from the previous evening and I may return them if it isn't solved or this is normal. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for the reviews and great videos.

Can you unscrew the stand and attach it to a screw wall mount?

So Wyze v3 spec's for night vision 4×940 nm & 4×850 nm IR Lights, Color Night Vision vs Wyze v4 spec's just 4 IR LEDs 850nm and smaller FOV. Seems v3 still better for night

Can you compare the Wyze cam V4 to the Wyze cam OG because it looks similar

Love my Wyze cam V4’s. It’s like a Wyzecam pro but on steroids 😮😮😮

Is this compatible with wyze floodlight 1st generation?

Seems like they didn't fix the USB port to be better sealed if installing upside down. I had one fail because what are eventually got through past the rubber flap and ruin the lens. Doesn't look like they made any attempt to make a better design even though it was a design flaw they're aware of. Also I don't really see 2K quality. Maybe it's just because I'm looking at this on a phone and KZfaq is only showing me the max resolution of 720p. But I still see the same shredding and ghosting, especially at night. I think their problem is they want to push their cloud services so they don't want to have a lot of delay for cloud uploads. I say plenty of us would rather have higher quality video and no cloud storage options.

Welp, I guess I should have watched it to the very end. If it's compatible with the lamp socket, I'll order it. Thank you!

How hard is it to get a good microphone

I don't know why your notifications take 10 seconds when all my wyze cameras come in at 3 seconds or less except the battery camera's that take 10 to 15 seconds.... Great review as always....if any of my v3s go down I will replace them with this one.

I wonder if Wyze is going to have a V4 Pro after this one.

The gray one is sold out on the Wyze website already..... Certainly beats the V3 Pro version. I have liked mine as it records 24/7 and is somewhat protected from the weather and hasn't had issues.

what happened to the night time clarity? My wyze cam 3 is crystal clear at night??

Does it still have a screw hole mount in the base? 👀

Still no live streaming for monitoring or recording to an NVR?

Window mount using the Wyze mount?

When wyze sends u a camera do they pay for the camera plan since you are reviewing their camera

You should have more sunscribers.very good videos and explanations

I'm done with wyze cam, just for the fact that most of the features that was free when they first started are behind a paywall

Can you make it more clear what all you get when subscription free? I'd like no indication lights or voices, alarms because I want the camera to remain hidden in the dark place. If it only saves a snapshot to an SD card when no subscription, that's okay... But can I at least view these snapshots over WiFi?

Would be great to watch a video of what cameras YOU use at home (daily drive)

I continue to be impressed by Wyze

How can you see your cameras in a smart tv? Is that even possible for Wyze’s cameras?

A lot of people say they prefere eufy instead of wyze, the one thing i don't like at eufy is the encryption, you can't deactivate it,so you can't read the sd card in the pc for saving long form clips. Ezviz on the other hand has a option for encription of the footage in the sd card to be turned off. And ezviz is cheaper then eufy and wyze,has all option for free,not behind a payed wall,and is decent in ai detection.

Now I have to wait for a case/skin

Please make a video of this cam for indoor/window mount. Thx

I love wyze for the affordability, but you cant help but notice the V4 still suffers on the bitrate for video quality. What is the point of 2.5k if you have low bitrate?

I sold all my Wyze cameras. Even some that were sealed . Went with all Ring brand

I personally am having problems with no live sound in any of my android devices . All different brands. I cannot listen in or talk back because i cannot hear anything. They will not respond either. So I am dumping them and starting over. I have every cam they made thus far and no sound. No sound when wearing ear pieces either. Not sure what happened but no fix for it. Sad, hopefully I can get a better system.

The timelapse features is still there or not?

Audio glitches only when night vision is on?

Kinda disappointed there was a review vs the v3 or pro to let users know if they should upgrade
