Yes please do a comparison of the PRO vs Wyze V3!!
Yes would like to see comparison with the v3 & v3 pro. My main issues are the delayed notifications, & slow glitchy playback and the horrible audio! Otherwise theres so much i love about these cameras. No problems ever with wifi, LOVE the low light starlight sensor, (also can use through glass), and how you can scroll events with pictures in the app. App now is super easy. Comparison with app changes too, please. Good clear video, wide vision, decent distance. But if that audio still sounds like charlie browns teacher, then no deal.
I’ve been wanting this review for a long time!
Thank you!
The v3 pro came out like 2 weeks ago 🤣
@@______926 I know
Born2BeWild...Thanks for watching!
the quality on this is so much better than all other wyzecams, wyze shouldve put this camera on their PAN system
Always appreciate that you review the app as well as the cameras and show all the app options
Ysayne Y You are welcome.
Was waiting anxiously for your review! Great as usual! Thank you!
You beat me! Great video and love the testing. I’ve got a test of V2/V3/V3 Pro in the edit bay now - pretty amazing to see the differences. I love your video though and how detailed it is about the V3 Pro features!
The Net Guy, Thank you. I appreciate it
Impressed how fast you did this video. Waiting on my order and happy to see your video. 👍🏾
Hope you like it!
Wow this is so far the best review ever and super helpful! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the review! Definitely interested in seeing the comparison of the Wyze Cam V3 and V3 Pro! :)
Please do comparison on V3 vs V3 pro. I have a V3 and am trying to figure out if its worth the upgrade
A comparison would be great
I'm thinking of replacing the v3 in my garage with this one
Your reviews are so comprehensive! Well done, mate! Earned a subscription from me 🍻
your video is always in-depth and helpful. I love it. thank yo~~
Good review. You have the best channel for these type of reviews.
Thank you as always a great job!
G Jordan You are welcome.
A thorough and useful video. I am largely saturated with Wyze cameras, so this is not on the list for me, but if I needed to replace one I would consider the V3 PRO.
Paul Jenkins...Thanks for watching!
Very thoughtful and concise review! Thank you.
khalid, Thank you. I appreciate it
Yes please do a video comparison V3 & Pro.
Thank you for another great video on v3 Pro. I'm cool with the last year's v3 and I'm waiting for the new Pan camera. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
KimLink, Thank you. I appreciate it
I think for the price you can't beat Wyze. I'm happy with the picture, detection and all the settings/options. Their weak point is their mics which I think is the least important thing on a security camera. At least they give the option. Their subscription prices are very reasonable also. I wish they offered an option to record everything locally by purchasing a base station or something that you can put a hard drive in. Otherwise, I've been happy with every Wyze product I've bought.
I have 8 of v.2 and v.3 ..love them!
Great review, man! 👍🏼👍🏼
Looks like a nice upgrade from the V3 cameras....my 13 V3s are still doing good but when one dies I'll replace with the V3pro for sure. Great review thanks. 😎
Dave, Thank you. I appreciate it
Like always, awesome content for the smart home user
Glad you like them!
Looks like a good little camera. I've been debating getting the spotlight add-on for a couple of my cams so a comparison between the v3 and v3 Pro would be much appreciated.
i have a v3 without the spotlight, im gonna use it for another wyze cam, alot of people said the v3 is better than the v3 pro. No clue, in the video in the night and day it looks a little blurry, not sure if it was because you zoomed in but normally without any zooming its crispy. When you zoom in its a little pixilated. My job is to make sure our house has 24/7 security cams in every area no matter the cost. Thanks for the review!
Can't wait to get mine If they ever ship it
Would love to see side by side image quality comparison at the distances you tested. V3 vs v3 pro
Great video, thank you! Definitely looking forward to the side by side comparison. Can you add the license plate test at night?
I'd like to see the comparison because i have all v3 (about 10 cams) and if its well worth the upgrade, i'll change it out. Seems pretty good but not sure yet. I love my wyze products, never had any issues with them.
I just bought the v3 1 week before the pro came out for Timelapse project, it would be cool if you compared the 2 keep up the good work I really enjoy your format 👍🏼
Now, I just realized and have to double check... it seems like there is no timelapse feature on the new V3 PRO... I'm not sure if I just can't find it... in the new user interface, it is not there.
Follow up reply... yes, there is the timelapse setting in live view on the menu..you just have to scroll more to the right.
Great as usual.💐💐👏👏👍👍💐💐
Thank you! Cheers!
Great review. Thanks. Would you rate this over the Eufy OutdoorPro 2k? Would be keen to know.
Nice review...BUT I think you should note that there are really no solutions to make this work if there is no plug nearby (perhaps other than plugging it into their spotlight camera as you noted)...My understanding is that the V3 Pro doesn't work with the Wyze Solar panel and it doesn't work with the Wyze Lamp Socket solution either. So if you need to mount outdoors and you don't have power outlet within 6 feet then you are SOL unless you are willing to purchase a longer cable at an extra cost and then string that through a window to get to a plug.and if there is a way for thief to access that unlocked window that is now open to accept the wire you've had to string through it now you have a perfect opening for a thief to break into your house....This is a MAJOR issue...it's a nice piece of technology at a good price but what good is it with so many limitations. Wyze needs to get into a solution mindset not a component mindset. Also it looks like Wyze is increasingly going down the subscription path...today it may be cheap but will they raise the price tomorrow? It's for this reason that I passed on this camera and went with the ReoLink Argus 3 Pro with a Solar panel...it's a solution that will work just about anywhere and it doesn't require a subscription fee to get the most out of the camera. Wyze should NOT be limiting the features of the camera as a way to extract more money out of the customer...In my opinion subscription services should only be available as as a way to offer offsite storage of the videos. Don't cripple the camera's capability for subscription fees. I'm jussayin.....
If I knew the Wyze V3 Pro weren’t compatible with the Wyze Lamp Socket I would’ve never bought them what a waste of my Sunday evening installing these only to have to uninstall them and reinstall the V3’s
Wyze v3 notifies me fairly quick. It doesn’t seem like this pro version is any faster. Will look out for that comparison between the two.
I'm actually impressed with the improvements they've made compared to the regular V3
Lol no.. Just no..
V2 to V3 was a a significant improvement. I had both. Not sure about V3 to V3 Pro though. A comparison video would be nice.....!
Since low light is so good, I'd love to see a V4 in a smaller form factor without the floodlight and IR lights. Something that takes less power and is more concealable. But yes of course, please compare with both V3 And the old V2. Maybe a full Wyze cam lineup comparison...
jacket if i have a super bright flood lamp already and its next to this wyze cam do u suggest turning off the built in spot light ? assuming it will wash* everything out ?? Thank you so Much for all your help and effort s in these videos 🙏
Thank you.
Ron M, Thank you. I appreciate it
Nice review. Can you compare it with other popular camera's in the same price range? Looking forward to that.
Thanks a lot
Most welcome
Can I disable the light to not turn on at all when it detects motion?
Would love to see a V3/V3 Pro comparison video.... and is it worth upgrading a V3 to the pro model.
How is the new app with scrubbing through video in playback? I seems like Wyze doesn't do any caching so skipping around in videos has always been a laggy experience. I'm curious if it's any more fluid with this new one.
Decent improvement, what are the notification speeds including cool down. Without a subscription? I don't see this available on Amazon yet, looks like it's $50 elsewhere.
Would like to see the comparison with the v3!
I can't get the micro SD cards to work? I have tried both formats, including formatting from the device itself. I'm using the same cards out of my older cameras
Not bad for the price 👌
Hi
Please review the TP-Link Tapo C320WS
i know it is new but can the pro use the v3 rtsp firmware? i connect 15 v3 cams with blue iris software and wont upgrade to pro until i can get an rtsp feed. i didnt see any v3 pro specific rtsp beta yet as it is new
😃👍
Nice review. Greetings from Mexico City
Looks like a nice improvement but already ordered the eufy 3 cam three camera bundle.
can you review this two cameras wyze cam v3 pro and the new Tapo C325WB
To all those people who are ambivalent about upgrading to the WYZE Cam V3 Pro ,let me give you all reassurance that it is definitely worth it. I upgraded one of my WYZE Cam V3s to the WYZE Cam V3 Pro and it is vastly superior to the older iteration in absolutely every way .I will soon be replacing all my other V3s with the V3 Pro .
@Mr2110Sandman, Thanks for sharing your experience.
So im using the V3 currently and regardless of day or night objects detected and faces are blurred or animals… unless object is close to camera than faces are shown clearly but still not that clear! So my question is ! When you zoom into object does it show clearly on this new v3 pro?
I expected better night vision, Thanks once again for your wonderful Review.. Keep up the Great work!!!
Scotty...Thanks for watching!
Can it work with the garage controller and the spotlight work?
waiting for the v3 comparison
does it work with streaming on Nest Hub?
In order to use these outdoors, they need a power supply? Not like the V2 battery ones?
How get the extension cord for this new camera?
Yes I will like to see the comparison. I like yours reviews.Thanks
It definitely is a solid product, however I think I will wait for Version 4 cameras to come out. I have plenty of V3 Cameras. The only exception is I might pick one up to go with my spotlight camera extra USB Extension from my garage.
Thanks for the review. Does anybody know if you will still get motion alerts on the app without a subscription? I don't want to pay for subscription fees. Thanks.
Hi LH. I realize the video isn’t about eufy but is it possible for a future video if you could please test older eufy cams and eufy solos with integration to the new homebase3. Thanks v much
On another note, any chance that Eufy will send you the new Security SmartTrack Link to review?
Can I connect and power the new V3 Pro using my existing V3 power brick and USB connection?
Hi! Your video date one year now. With experience with this camera, do you know if it will withstand the hardship of weather like the cold, snow, rain, hail, sun bleach? Is it a robust camera?
I would like to see the comparison from version three to the pro. I have the virgin three.
Can this cam work with the wyze floodlight?
I'd also be curious if this would be compatible with their Wyze light socket. 🤔
Edit: Per Wyze, the Wyze Cam V3 Pro is NOT compatible with the Wyze Lamp Socket. That sucks.
Can you just buy the right cable to make it work with the spotlight?
Please compare the V3 with the V3 Pro!
Also with the outdoor Eufy.
Thank you for making these videos!
JamesVR6, Thank you. I appreciate it
Only wifi b/g/n support though is so strange. its 2022. And no barrel power connection option. Which pretty much most wired systems already use, so if you are running that already and looking to change to wyze, you gotta do a bit of work-around.
May I ask what camera you use?
Nice job! Definitely a comparison between this and the regular V3, please.
Also would be good to see a comparison between the Wyze V3 Pro and some of Eufy’s offerings that are comparable to the V3 Pro.
Thanks! Will do!
For indoor Which camera would u recommend?Wyze cam v3 vs wyze cam v3 pro vs aqara g2h pro?
Nice review. Do you live in the Philippines or US?
Awesome! Now if WYZE would do a real upgrade on their outdoor cams that would be great, like a Outdoor Pro
The outdoor battery cameras need work.....longer detection range and better notification speed
We will see...
Good video
lowridingtrucks88...Thanks for watching!
I preordered like 3 of these now I'm waiting for the to ship!
It should be on its way...
@@LifeHackster Do you know how i would mount it under a hang? Would it just have to be flipped video?
@@GameHEADtime - Yes, there is an option to rotate image 180 degrees in the app.
Pleas compare the two..
great review, I wonder: will it work with the Floodlight instead of using the regular V3?
never mind, I commented while I was watching the review and you already mentioned about compatibility :)
Dude hell yeah! Been waiting for this ever since you dropped the hint on your story. Also wanted to ask if you know anything about reolink messing up SD cards. Just got the811wa and have it in a camo set up. Put In my 128gb pny card. Went to format it thru the app and it didn't work. Took it out and tried thru a PC and it wouldn't let me format it at all.
I haven't experience any issues on the micro SD cards in my Reolink. Try formatting it in your computer. Thanks.
Please do compare V3 to V3 Pro.
Please do a comparison between wyze cam v3 and cam v3 pro
I wonder why they didn't put this one on a rotating base like the V3
I noticed the timeline is different. Is that for just the V3 Pro or is that new layout for the V3 as well? Did the V3 Pro fix the 90 GB MicroSD storage cap issue (won't record more than 90 GB, even on a larger card)?
I'm not sure if Wyze is going to update the V3 user interface in the future. I'm not sure about the 90GB cap issue.
It’s always a good day when LifeHackster puts out a new review!
gmase001...Thanks for watching!
Please make the comparison between Wyze cam v3 and Wyze cam v3 pro.
The Wyze Cam V3 Pro is a NIGHTMARE!!! I ordered 1 of these cameras. It came with November 2 2022 firmware out of the box. There was a firmware update for Dec 12th 2022 so of course I loaded it. Camera wont play captured events. It always says 09 playback error code. So after calling Wyze support. They were kind enough to send me a replacement camera. Same exact problem! So after calling support again they sent me another replacement camera. SAME EXACT PROBLEM!!! After many hours of troubleshooting with Wyze support and many phone calls and ridiculous e mail solutions that were more of just passing the buck. I AM OVER IT!!! I have about a dozen V3 cameras so I was very happy with Wyze as the V3 cameras are a great camera. So I assumed that the new V3 Pro would be just as good even better. Now Im out $50 plus shipping. Im disabled and I dont have a printer. So Wyze was nice enough to let me throw the cameras away. I asked Wyze to send me a peal and stick return label before asking that. They said they would. I had to call Wyze back and ask them why I havent recived the return labels 3 differnt call backs about that. Then I called them back and asked them to send me proof that I dont have to pay for the 2 replacement cameras. At least they got that right. The next couiple of days I check my e mail and it was from Wyze . They told me to send the 2 cameras back that are in the garbage. I WILL NEVR BUY A NEW PRODUCT FROM Wyze again! I have read to many reviews that say. Wyze has a reputation of selling new products before the firmware is stable or even mature. I have wasted many hours of my life trying to make the V3 Pro work that I will never get back. On top of that Im out $50.00. I feel very strongly that Wyze knew this was a problem when they first released the V3 Pro camera in November 2022. Just in time for Christmas sales. I am so disgusted with Wyze it makes me sick to my stomach!
how did you charge it? it is a wired cam
Hopefully Eufy’s new SmartTrack Link is on your list? 😁😁
Do you know if the motion detection is pixel based or IR based? I have the v3 and it triggers even with shadows.
Pixel based live the V3 except the person detection is on camera and is included without subscription.
You didn't show futures like timelapse. What is the minimum interval 3 seconds like V3 or 2 seconds like Wyze Outdoor V2 ?
Same as the V3..3 secs.
Awesome review as always! Can this be installed horizontally under a soffett?
Yes, absolutely. Thanks.
Can the siren on this cam be triggered automatically by motion sensing or does the user have to always manually activate the siren?
You can have it automatic when it detects motion in settings.
Curious about the WIFI range - are you using a WIFI extender, or a typical WIFI setup like one would have from their ISP?
I have a mesh network.
Audio still isn't good but Picture quality is good both day/night . i like the zoom in function and this camera for 50 bucks is better than the new Ring Pos I mean Pro camera.
The onboard AI doesn't seem to offer faster notifications. I have cam plus on my v3 and the person detection notification is just about as fast as the pro. I hope they will improve this. Would also like to see a demo without Cam Plus on this camera to see what it will do without it.
I will test this when the cam plus trial ends because I am not able to turn it off while it is on 2 week trial.
