It is a shame that Wyze is not incorporating RTSP into their cameras. for a $100 camera, the ability to use other software to view the camera would help sell it…

Nice. How much is Wyze undercutting the competition at $94? Or is apple$-to-apple$ difficult because of distinct feature sets?

It seems well-appointed.

@WyzeJasonJ or anyone else that can help. I have a couple of questions about the included mounting hardware. What does it look like and how does it work? Can I use a the same kind of mounting kit that I used with the Pan V1 & V2?

Video also shows charging options

The $94 price point is just too high! And I hate the term “Color Night Vision” with regards to cameras, when it’s nothing more than vision with a light on. Guess my front porch has color night vision too, when I turn on the porch lights. And while I’m driving at night, my car has color night vision as well. lol

Perfect! Thanks. I guess I should have looked a little harder. :wink:

A few questions:

  1. Does the camera work with Cam Plus Lite?
  2. Can it record to local SD card? If so, what battery life can we expect?
  3. Can it work temporarily without wifi connection and record locally? If so, for how long could it operate?

[Mod edit] Fixed text formatting for easier readability.

None of the new cameras after the V3 work with Cam Plus lite.
Local recording- not yet

A lot of extra cost involved for second battery, 5 V 2 Amp power adapter, the battery charger is you want one. To expensive for the Raccoons.

This service is supported only on Non-Doorbell cameras released before 2/1/2021, so it will not work on this camera.

MicroSD card support is coming in an app/firmware update. Battery life will depend greatly on how you set it to record.

Not until the microSD card recording launches and how long would greatly depend on the settings.

Thanks for the response.

Thanks Jason! Just to add a few things there.

You will have the options to continuously record or record motion only events to local SD card but we generally don’t recommend continuous recording with a battery because the battery drains completely for ~10 hours. We suggest connecting the camera to a power outlet for continuous recording. Our outdoor power adapter compatibility is also coming soon for Battery Cam Pro. If recording motion only events, the battery life is based on how often the camera records.

I’m jazzed to see that it supports 2.4 and 5 GHz Wifi - not that I will buy any battery powered camera…
Maybe that means we will see additional cameras support 5 GHz in the future…

Maybe you have a different definition of “Color Night Vision” that I do. Obviously I don’t know how well this new cameras works, but my V3, V3 Pro, V3 Pan, and OG-Tele cameras work quite well in color in very low light conditions. Obviously not in total dark.

The charging dock is sold separately, the batteries can be charged outside the camera without the charging dock though.

I believe it does, you would just need an adapter to go from micro USB to USB-C

There is a microSD card slot, microSD card recording will be enabled soon.

Thx,

I pulled an " Icarus " n flew to close to the Wyze / Amz prime, shopping sun.

It offered the 2 battery pkg option, but would only put the 1 battery pkg item iny cart.

After several attempts, I guess it saved me $19 (x bat) saved me 5.99 (shippg) n cost me a $20 coupon.

All told Who kno’s ?

Another wonderful buying experience
:exploding_head::open_mouth::slightly_frowning_face:

I want to use the Wyze Battery Cam Pro as a rear-view monitor for my camper and want to know how long it can stream continuously.
