Hi Wyze Users!
I’m Will, a Product Manager on the Wyze Camera team. We are exploring concepts for next generation Wyze Floodlight Cameras and you feedback will directly shape future devices.
Here is a short, anonymous survey (~5 mins) - ALL users welcome 
Your responses will remain completely confidential. Survey responders may be considered for early access to Beta testing devices. Thank you for your support and look forward to hearing your thoughts!
If you make changes to the survey before it closes, I’d consider correcting some spelling issues (“Brighter ligting” in question 6, “Feels like a worse seucrity detterrent” in question 11) and including Bulb Cam earlier in the discussion/questions, as Wyze groups these into Lighting Cameras with the Cam Floodlights.
Noted and updated. Thanks!
You’re welcome, and thanks for the quick changes! 
Based on the questions, it seems to imply to me that Wyze is planning to make an entry level floodlight at a new affordable cost in the industry using the new smaller design.
So it likely won’t have a lot of advanced things like free edge AI and expect it won’t consider Matter (which will jack up the price with ongoing licensing expenses forever), and rtsp might be considered bloat for entry level, etc
I mostly hope you at least keep a wide FOV. That is pretty critical for a floodlight camera.
I personally prefer floodlights that blend in to look like traditional floodlights and aren’t obviously primarily cameras. I currently have 6 actively mounted FLPros around my house and my neighbors didn’t even realize they were cameras until I sent him the recording of my daughter backing into his truck. He was actually really excited that I had cameras covering the area and asked me for a couple other recordings since (such as when his garbage can vanished…I found the dump truck actually stole his garbage can and never put it back down 
). But I love that the floodlight pros just look like normal flood lights and people assume the camera is just a PIR sensor, not a camera. But when you start doing weird fancy designs, it stands out and draws attention. Some people will like that, because they want the camera to draw attention to scare people off for security purposes. I would personally rather have my cameras blend in and be ignored 99% of the time. If I want it to draw attention, then I can have it use the motion warning (I do this for my backyard flood lights, and have an automation to turn on the motion warning when my HMS is armed, and turn it off when it’s disarmed. So then they are discreet most of the time, but will clearly tell somebody they are a camera during times nobody should be in my backyard…) This gives me a choice as to whether they are discreet or obvious, But if you choose an obvious design, then you can never have it be discreet. That’s a big downside IMO.
But, if you are really trying to do an entry-level cost down affordable version of a flood light, then I agree that the smaller obvious version is better, especially since Wyze doesn’t have an existing model in that design set yet. From a business standpoint, I would say it’s a good idea to do the new design, at least as long as you don’t get rid of the floodlight pro design (though you could get rid of the FLv2 to be replaced with this more affordable one).
If you make it a low profile design that still packs a lot of lumens, some people may even consider putting it indoors in select use cases (though probably pretty rare).
Anyway, it makes sense to do a new design with a low profile at entry level pricing to draw more people into the ecosystem funnel. I think it’s a smart business move.
That’s a really interesting thought. If the coverage of both the lighting and camera view is adequate and if the mount gives appropriate flexibility for aiming/adjusting, then I could see a case for removing the typical bare lamp sockets that are often found in garages and storage rooms and wiring things like this directly into overhead junction boxes.
Yeah, it would work well in a garage if the Lumens are high enough.
I was even thinking about how I could possibly consider putting one in my high-ceiling-ed stairway to automate lighting in there and have a camera (since there are no outlets in the stairwell to easily put a wired camera). This could allow having a camera as well as adequate lighting. I considered a bulb-cam, but the camera end on the bulb cam kind of blocks direct lighting, so it wasn’t a great fit for that use case but a low-profile high lumen capacity floodlight with integrated camera could work well.
I understand Wyze needing to do an entry level Floodlight, but I really hope that they will also do an UPGRADE to the Floodlight Pro like add 4K to it with all the other amazing parts of it. Having a local option like RTSP or Matter support would be icing on the cake. I’d replace a few of my current Floodlight pros if they offered a new 4K version.
Considering the advancements in the motion detection and AI that has been made over the years, as well as the issues that have been found with the PIR, I’m wondering if it would be more cost-effective to stick with the hey how is the main detection source or the PIR. Considering the PIR has had its issues in the past.
I’m hoping the AI wins out just because the flood light pros have always done extremely well for me and are so much easier to set up for detections and triggering.
How about make them more affordable for the people on disability who been with yall from the start who can’t afford 100 to 300 per camera.
This is getting insane.
4K, wide angle, bright lights. Please!
I notice that the survey is now closed, and I just happened across this related Wishlist topic, so I wanted to drop this link here:
Appreciate it Crease. I’ll continue to read our users’ feedback and make sure we design based on what our users need and value.
This is a major factor in why I purchased the Wyze Floodlight Camera Pro.
With houses so close together in my community, having a Floodlight Camera that is discreet is a must. I would not do a floodlight camera any other way.
(currently of my BCPros are offline due to a failed attempt at installing the latest beta firmware: 2.2.1.1326, hopefully I can recover them today)
Hey Wyze team - sorry I’m late to the thread and didn’t get a chance to participate in the survey. I wanted to add my feedback that a slightly warmer color temperature option would be great. I’d re-buy all of mine if a warmer color temp was available. 3500-4000k still looks pretty white but without the harsh blueish color that the 5000k lights today give off. I know a lot of folks have issues with this who have HOAs or don’t want the cheap feel of the cool white.
Hi modenaf1, welcome to the Wyze community and it’s great to hear your feedback
