  • The new Wyze v3 Pan camera is great, but it does have a few drawbacks over the Wyze Cam v3...

    What do you guys think of the new v3 pan? Will you be upgrading your existing Wyze cameras?

    • @AngusNB
      @AngusNB Před rokem +3

      I doubt I will upgrade to the V3 Pan. I would lose Cam Plus Lite and I'm not to fond of the proprietary cable end.

      Bought a two pack, one of the cables was faulty. Wyze is sending out a replacement 2 pack (said they couldn't just replace the cable quite yet). Besides that, I loved what I've seen so far.
      As for the app joystick, I do believe you can press in the middle, then slide your finger up, down, etc. At least it works on Android version of the app.

    It's not a secret how its $34. Wyze broke their commitment to always include free 12 second cloud back up, so no back up if stolen or damaged and no longer includes person detection, so goes back to the stone age of false motion alerts if using outdoors. So it's actually FAR more expensive over time to get the same features on this camera with subscription than the other cameras include for not added cost.

    Great video, Michael. I just bought one of these and I’m happy with it so far. A question for you… I run the Wyze app on a new iPad and a new android phone. The app randomly closes throughout the day on both of these devices. Most of the time, these devices are about 8 feet away from my router and my Wi-Fi signal is excellent. Does your app ever close without any reason? This is pretty frustrating for me. Thanks!

    • @MichaelVance
      @MichaelVance  Před rokem

      That’s really annoying. It has happened to me before a few times. It’s usually fixed by Wyze in an app update. I’m guessing if your devices are up to date, it’s an issue on Wyze’s side.

    I’ve bought so many of the old style and they worked good but then needed replaced so I got these new ones which are really nice when they work but the last three I have bought of the V3 pan the camera just goes all over the place and the tracking and everything is offand the camera has a mind of its own. It just moves all over the place.

    I bought a V3 pan cam within an hour of hearing about them and I love it EXCEPT for the 90 degree power cable connector that you talk about. Looking at the 6 inch tail on the standard V3 camera there is no reason Wyze couldnt have had a similar tail on the V3 pan cam . If i have a situation where I need a longer run I will use a 25' usb extension cable and wrap the connection with electrical tape but I dont like Wzye changing something that didnt need to be changed in the first place. im kind of reluctant to remove the 90 degree plug now that its plugged in because im worried about stressing the connections and creating problems down the road. To use the supplied bracket you HAVE to feed the right angle connector through the bracket BEFORE you plug it in! 😡

    Hello brother ! Pretty glad to see your review on this Wyze V3 Pan Cam. I have been using Wyze cam since the V2 CAMERA was intoduced to the public Still using 2 v2'S now and 10 units of the V3. I am considering getting one of this V3 pan cam and I am tracking any good and bad reviews before jumping on it. Your review is the most complete and non bias reviews that I have seen on this V3 Pan and yes, all end users of this can complain 'bout the propietary L shape short wire that comes with it, I was thinking, what about making a 3D print of that bracket, do you think it will free-up that older or other longer wires that we have to work on this unit? Please let me know what you think. Thanks for your honest and very informative reviews, I really appreciate it.

    I have 3 v3 cameras mounted inside double hung windows on the little shelf between the top and bottom panes looking outside through the glass. With any angle on the glass I get pretty bad reflections during daylight. I ordered a cam pan v3 Friday night from Amazon and got it the next day. Just waiting on the sd card to arrive before I mount it outside. I’m gonna move one of the inside V3s elsewhere.
    I just have to figure out how to get the wiring from the inside outlet through the double hung window (I assume I can squish the flat OEM cable around the top pane against the frame). Not sure 6 feet will reach that far. I’ve hidden my old stash of usb extender cables somewhere when we did a renovation a few years ago and don’t remember where they are!

I drilled a couple holes in the mortar joint between bricks, inserted the anchors, ran the flat cable between the top of the window and the frame, and it works great. I moved the old v3 elsewhere.

    Since you asked, you CAN do the automatic Privacy mode at home and turn on surveillance when you leave. Do the following:
    * First, allow the Wyze app to see your location if you don't already do that (so it can tell when you are home or away)
    * Add Rule
    * Location Trigger
    * If I Enter
    * [Set Location]
    * [Set Location circumference between 500ft-1400ft)
    * Add Action = Select the Camera and choose the action of "Turn off the camera" (This is the same thing as Privacy mode)
    * (choose a time schedule if you only want it to do this during certain hours instead of ANYTIME you are home...maybe you want it to still record while you're sleeping or something in case of a break-in)
    Now do the opposite Location rule for when "I leave" that same location...have the action be to TURN ON the camera when you leave that area.
    Now it works exactly as you asked (Privacy mode when you're at home, and Turn on surveillance when you leave home). 👍

    • @MichaelVance
      @MichaelVance  Před rokem

      I’ll have to give this a shot, thanks for the tip! I was specifically looking for a privacy mode option, but turning the camera off makes sense. It seems like this option could be something that Wyze could turn into an on or off toggle in the settings. Similar to the way Nest thermostats have home/away modes. I think for some users, having this many steps could be a turn off. Thanks for the help!

    I just put up a couple days ago outside. I replaced my V1 non-waterproof camera, which worked flawlessly for years under an eave.

    Automatic pan and tilt can be off by default because for many buying the camera starts with having the option to pan an tilt if desired, especially if its inside the house moving all the time and if as loud as described. I've seen some people complain that the camera doesn't go back to its original set position after tracking motion...with your waypoint piece i'm wondering if just a single waypoint is set if that would solve that problem.
    Privacy mode working with location, I don't know how it would react but i'm assuming with the programming the privacy mode might activate if select "Turn off camera" as i'm assuming its same function, renamed "privacy" for "wow". Personally for location triggers I'd prefer if they had an option for a time time delay on arriving because that extra minute or two of footage might be exactly what I need one day
