The new Wyze Cam OG is even more useless than it’s predecessors without a subscription :bangbang: Really, Now the spotlight function has a “Cool-Down” period too … Pathetic :pensive: Looks like when my V3’s all are bricks I won’t be replacing with a Wyze product. It was a good run, but I’m out af…

Oh good, I was going to ask you to expand, but I see you are… :slight_smile: [image] What’s a spotlight cool-down? (my edit: Oh, I get it (maybe) spotlight concurrent with motion detected Event) On the flip side, how about the claims of improvement? Stream loads quicker? Notifications near i…

[image] bryonhu: Even with CamPlus if internet goes down camera won’t even record to SD :rage: Where did you get this? Last time I checked on my cams, all cams continue to record to the SD card if the internet goes out. (ex: Your camera was online just fine and then suddenly the internet go…

[image] carverofchoice: I still get notifications and I can still view events, so I haven’t really missed cloud recordings. The 5-minute cooldown is no different from older models though, so while I would prefer no cooldown, I can’t say it’s a huge difference. The notifications are functional…

I know Wyze has been working on making comparison charts to help people, and they expressed the intent to try to have 3 categories of cameras going forward: Entry level, Medium and higher end/Pro line…

The notifications arrive so fast - most of the time, the person, car, etc. causing the motion is not in the still frame and the video (don’t press the play button?!? Takes several minutes to be available from the SD Card. Uggg…

Wait a minute, all the marketing I have watched and read raves about how much faster the new OG cams load playback from uSD. Do you mean to tell me that all of the marketing does not reflect reality?

What cams are you running right now, @Known1 . Are you considering some OG? :slight_smile:

I own more than I use. The outdoor v1’s that I own have been retired to paperweights for about a year now. I run one v2 (because I use the bridge for a couple v1 sensors) and have 3 in storage. I use all seven of my v3 cams and have a 4-cam subscription to cam-plus which was renewed in December. …

Good experience with the SD card functions? Mine has been OK, overall. Not stellar, but usable. v2s only.
