[POLL] Is Cam v3 :cam_v3: still the most numerous cam in service four years after its debut in 2021?

Actually, if you guys moved away from imperial to metric like everyone in the world, none of this would have happened.

Just kidding of course. I grew up and schooled with the metric system, but when it comes to building stuff like in carpentry and construction, I prefer imperial. Electronics and minuscule stuff, prefer metric, more precise I think.

When it comes to liquid and temperature, can’t get my head around beyond litres and celsius. :rofl:

A mini- image for you. :wink:

I never had this particular professor, but my sister and I attended the same college for a few years and she had at least one of his classes: He wasn’t teaching English classes (he was in the social sciences division), but he would lower students’ grades for writing mistakes (spelling, grammar, punctuation) on papers even if the content (thought, idea) was otherwise correct. Students would commonly have papers returned to them with correction marks (and concomitant deductions) when receiving their grades. I imagine a lot of students didn’t think that was fair, but I believe my sister and many others who took his classes appreciated it, because they realized that he cared and made the effort, wanting them to be better writers.

My brain has problems with that, too, but I wish we’d make the change here anyway. I’ve worked in some settings where they already have, and trying to switch my brain between ℉ and ℃ is a chore.

Sometimes I

I likely would’ve butchered “minuscule” without a corrective hint, though. :man_facepalming:

No :trophy: for me.

Did you know there were 20 iterations of ‘Wyze Cam’ before seeing them listed in the poll?

  • I thought there were fewer
  • I knew there were exactly 20
  • I thought there were more
0 voters

Hmm…this is debatable.

For example:

Those are arguably the same camera.

If you are going to list them separately, are you going to also list the Wyze Cam Garage Door Controller? What about the Wyze Cam Lamp Socket? Do skins count too?

Additionally, at the risk of over-channeling my inner Jordan Peterson with semantics games…what do you mean by iteration? There were at least 3 iterations of the Wyze Cam V3 that didn’t have matching SOC, image sensor, WiFi Module, Flash chip size (in this case, just the SOC and WiFi Module):

  • T31AL, GC2053, ATBM6031, 16MB
  • T31X, GC2053, ATBM6031, 16MB
  • T31X, GC2053, RTL8189FTV, 16MB

And at least 2 iterations of the Wyze Cam V2 (Different Image sensors) [I think there were actually more than this though]:

  • T20X, JXF22, RTL8189FTV, 16MB
  • T20X, JXF23, RTL8189FTV, 16MB

And other models as well. Do those all count as different iterations?

OK, sorry, @peepeep just had to take advantage of a chance to play with you and mess with your poll through semantics games. :slight_smile:

Now, the question is, how many of those are still available for sale vs no longer manufactured? :wink: How wide is the active selection?

I wish I had a funny reply. I currently lack humor lately. Not sure why.

On the case of Imperial vs. Metric. I am glad we stayed. Other options, when there was change, we took it.

I am glad we decided to drive on the right side of the street.

I am also glad we can carry a flashlight in our pockets and not a torch.

I am glad we can correct words like Aluminum, tires, color, favor and flavor.

I am glad we have real bacon.

It’s odd that a Proper Englishmen uses Celsius or Centigrade for temps but mix up use of Liters and miles. Ask an Englishman how many kilometers to the store and they say we don’t use kilometers, we use miles?

Why do Canadians drive on the right side of the road.

We need more consistency.

I don’t want CamPlus unlimited. I don’t think the new cameras offer any features I find compelling enough to buy them. I’m home most of the time so the existing cameras don’t really provide security. I really don’t like WiFi for security cameras.

The power of suggestions. :wink:

A ‘Debut’ column would be interesting. They’re all still ‘In Service’ (usable on the Wyze Network) AFAIK, so that column just accentuates that fact but doesn’t add much more.

I’m doing my no-pay-CPL one year penance at the moment. I must say, though, I’m not not enjoying Cam Unlimited. :grin:

I agree. While I tend to be subscription averse and think the devices themselves provide solid value even without subscriptions, for the times that I’ve tried a subscription and then afterward been without it—having the opportunity to experience features subscriptions offer, becoming accustomed to those and enjoying their use, and then afterward no longer having that access—I do think the subscriptions add to that value, and I understand why they seem to be so popular. The AI-enhanced identification features are especially cool, and Descriptive Alerts are seriously impressive.

I’m not trying to sell anyone a subscription. Wyze has capable folk who do that. After trying them, though, I can say that I get it: I definitely have a better understanding of why people like 'em.

I didn’t realize before looking at the previous tables that Cam Floodlight v2 had a more recent launch than Cam Floodlight Pro, but I haven’t ever seriously shopped any of those models because I don’t have an available exterior junction box to mount one (though I’ve idly thought about it and thought it was cool that they released that mount last year). My oldest is a Cam Pan v3.
