There is a significant delay from what I see out the window and what the camera shows.
ANYBODY getting this?
I would power cycle your WiFi router, your device with the Wyze App and problem camera. Delete the App Cache.
If that does not make an improvement, I would temporarily move the camera close to the WiFi router to test if distance might be causing your delay.

I’ve only seen that when either the cam or phone has a bad wifi signal.

How much delay are you seeing? Are we talking a half second, several seconds, dozens of seconds?

I wondered when someone would ask that, because that’s also what I was curious about. I don’t know what…
…means without additional context.
Welcome to the Forum, @circod! 
Slight delay is normal as this are wireless cameras. Even wired cameras have slight delay.
Just wanted to add that my Google nest cam (plugged in battery cam, on 5Ghz wifi network) has similar delays as my Wyze cameras. It’s just not noticed as much because they don’t bother to show timestamp on their live view.
The quality of your smartphone also will affect the delay time.
I have several “freebie” phones that are under powered compared to my Pixel and All the low spec smartphones have 15-25 second delay.
And at the same time the Pixel is displaying only a few seconds of delay.
The processing power, ram, and video abilities of the smartphone come into play too with video decoding and will affect delivery speed of video.
Very valid point. Good thing you din’t blame Wyze for it 
If Wyze built a Smartphone it wouldn’t be compatible with their cams 
just sayin’ 
Not scientific, but I measure Live View delay by sitting on my backyard deck. On the left side of the video below, I can see cars passing my neighbor’s White house. As I glance at my iPad Pro I notice maybe a 1 second delay.
Wyze v3 camera, App version 2.50.
I do have the above v3 set to Media Prioritzation in my Linksys router.
I believe it was on the roadmap back in the day.
I also believe I’m 6’2" but there’s less evidence for that.

LoL I actually used to be 6’1" but time and gravity took care of that 
under the 6’ mark now
2 seconds. None of my other wifi cameras do this.
All cameras are on the same wifi and just these battery operated ones have a delay. 2 seconds is a long delay and disqualifies it as a LIVE VIEW in my humble opinion.
Interestingly enough, the cameras are now closer to 1/2 second!! No change here to cause that.
I lean towards WiFi congestion.
I agree. That is why in my router I give Media Prioritization (screenshot pictured above) to 2 of my v3 cameras that are furthest away from my Linksys WiFi router.
That’s definitely going to be normal fluctuations in wifi. Getting a better/stronger router, relocating your router up higher or more central, tweaking settings, etc can help stabilize things. My cams are always around the 1/2 second delay, even when using my severely underpowered second phone. There is one cam that is an exception, during peak times (evening around 6-8PM when everyone is using wifi and bluetooth and running microwaves etc) it will get more of a delay, due to it being on the very edge of my wifi coverage (my phone often can’t connect well in that same spot, the cam always stays connected, just sometimes gets some lag).

Oddly my very old and underpowered Samsung J7 Prime (was a POS when new) running the 2.5 app shows no noticeable difference from my much newer Pixel on the 3.5 app. Never noticed a difference when they were both running 2.x app either. It can’t run the 3.x app so can’t say how that would perform on it.
With either phone, if I’m in a fringe wifi area (particularly my garage) the delay will become evident.
