Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro - Released 5/30/2023

Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro comes packed with features including a 180° wide-angle lens and 2.5K quad high-definition (QHD) resolution video to show your yard end-to-end in better detail than ever before. :magnifying glass:

Fast and accurate onboard AI computer vision detects motion and turns on the adjustable 3,000 lumen LED lights. You can even set it to only turn on when people or vehicles are detected. Speaking of person detection, Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro can be set to play a motion-activated voice prompt if the camera sees anyone from in-laws to outlaws. :ninja:

Want even more? We have good news! This floodlight has a 105 dB siren built into it that can deter all sorts of unwanted visitors like unbearable neighbors (if you get bears in your yard, please tell us how it does with actual bears :bear: ).

You could pay a security guard to patrol your perimeter… Or you could let Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro get the job done for you. :bulb:

Is there a USB port available to connect another camera, in the same way you could with the V1 Floodlight?

Good question, this one does NOT have a USB port for a second camera.

Thanks, Jason. Guess I’ll have to find another location for that V3 Pan I have sitting around. :smile:

Kind of disappointed by a small oversight, I never bought the original floodlight for one reason–color temperature. I was hoping this would allow for adjustment to 2700 or 3000k, this only does 5000k, which i really dislike the look of.

I would have bought the first version had it had that feature and would have bought this one too if it had it, but i’ll skip.

I’m very reluctant to purchase this, when my 2 Wyze original floodlights have never worked well. Turning on by themselves, absent any motion, Changing settings (PIR vs Camera trigger) doesn’t help. Having to be power cycled multiple times. It seems Wyze is focused on releasing half baked products at light speed

I have a question about using the AI to turn on the floodlights , if it’s set to turn on when it detects vehicles.

What’s gonna happen if theirs a stationary vehicle in frame?

Is ambient light basically dimming ? Can you set the floodlights to be dimmed and turn on all the way when it defects motion…

Does this need Cam Plus for notifications? On one of the screens it says:

"More accurate motion-activated lights powered by vision AI.Goodbye, clumsy PIR technology. Onboard AI computer vision detects motion and turns on the lights only from objects you select, like people and vehicles. Plus, get notifications sent to your phone. No subscription required.

Does that last line mean video notifications do not require a subscription, or is it just going to tell you the light turned on.

That’s disappointing. I would’ve ordered already if it had one, but now I have to figure out where I’d plug my telephoto cam.

Yes, for example, you could have them set to a low brightness and then full brightness when motion is detected.

The notification sent to your phone is the ‘push’ notification. You would still get a ‘snapshot’ in the event feed without subscription and a video in the event feed with a subscription.

Question, why can’t this simple feature be added to the original floodlight?

For those who wish they had a floodlight junction box and wires installed in a different location of your house so you could put one of these up there, I found a cool video by Life Hackster that walks you through how to wire the floodlights using an extension cord, so that you can put up a floodlight basically ANYWHERE you want one:

I actually already did this with a floodlight, and it worked great. I’m going to use this to install a couple more of these Floodlight Pro units in other areas around my house now. I mean, 2.5K resolution with 180 degree Field of View? I guess 4 of these will cover all sides of your entire house!

I think I’m also going to wire one onto the wall in the back corner of my property and point it toward my pool and my house too so that there is plenty of light at night when I want it, and be able to see everything from the opposite side too. :slight_smile:

Things I really love about this camera/Floodlight that make me want to buy a bunch of them:

  • 2.5K Resolution (that is a GREAT picture and view of everything!
  • 180 degree FOV to see everything (basically one on each side of your house covers your entire property securely)
  • Ambient Lighting - can leave the lights on lower all the time to be able to see a little bit, and see in color nightvision all the time, and then brighter when a person is in view, including when I want to do something in my own property after sunset!
  • Vision AI = Free Local AI detections which can control the lighting, instead of just all motion/heat (ex: my cats set off the Floodlight v1 all night regardless of PIR/Pixel motion options…this solves that).
  • 3000 Lumen!!! and between 3 adjustable panels
  • The alert stuff is a nice bonus, but I am not sure I will ever use it. Maybe I’ll turn it on while I’m on vacation or something. Usually the lights coming on brightly should be sufficient warning for most of my uses.
  • Supports 5GHz band! That will help with congestion concerns…when you start to have several dozen cameras and other smart devices all on 2.4GHz, 5GHz can be a big bonus.

Exactly. Read those details somewhere in tech specs or features on the product page.

I’m glad they added the dimming feature to the pro version but wondering why it can’t be added to the original version? Hope it makes it on a firmware upgrade some day…

There’s nothing to love but more trouble. All they’re doing is putting new products out and not fixing the issue we all have been struggling with. All the volunteers in here all they say it’s not wyze it’s your internet get a wyze router any they are volunteers but not it free they get free bees, from products to the for free. I’m a mod on Tapatalk so this is all nonsense what they say. All talk and [mod edit] answer

I have the original Flood Light. My biggest complaint is I don’t want motion sensing. I want to say “Alexa, backyard on/off” and have it turn on/off the light, while always recording video. Does this exist in the new Pro?

Wish they’d make a Floodlight with and adjustable color temperature so the light can be warmer, I hate cool white light. Why aren’t they listening to customers?
