What, no 4K? 
Seriously this is close to what many of us have been asking for. Wow, I may end up staying with Wyzecams after all.

Did you see the “redesigned interface” comments? Does this mean a new App is coming for all devices? About time as the current App is not very good compared to others.

Is it compatible with the wyze lamp socket?

how good is it at reading license plates? How well cameras can read license plates should be an industry-standard measurable property of all cams cmon.

So 116 deg FOV vs the original V3 at 130 deg - is that right? Not sure if they are mixing diagonal vs horizontal.
Cam plus is still required for person detection even though it’s done on-camera now?

I just had an update for the android app and I don’t see this interface yet…but I hope it will come to all cameras
should be, as that is simply a power source for it

I’m not sure if the lamp socket can provide 2 amps required for the new cam. Also it needs to be able to control it. One can’t control lamp sockets with wyze V2 or pan.
No.
No subscription is required. You will still get push notification of PD, however it will be a thumbnail in the Events tab that will be linked to the video on the SD card (if installed). There will still be a 5 minute cooldown without CP.

The biggest question for me is: Did you upgrade the horrendous, worst-in-class mic/audio?

I just hope we see less dust bunnies. Like dust but those are the worst.

Since I started the post and opened the can of snakes, I’d like to ask couple of questions myself and not expect spot on answers as the Pro is not shipping till Novemeber.
- Can Edge AI be ported to existing cameras via Firmware, or they don’t have enough processing power?
- The new Pro camera is using Edge AI and all AI processing is done in camera, how is this going to affect remotely located cameras? I’m guessing it will still need to go through AWS servers to reach the mobile app? Is this going to slow down notifications from remote cameras?

I just ordered but the order got automatically cancelled. Guess i will wait to see if the money gets returned.

should have given us wifi 5ghz… feel like streaming 2k video over the already crowded / interfered 2.4ghz is going to be a nightmare.
Already happening!
Note this quote in the most recent V2\PanV1 firmware update thread:
I am still searching for any mention of it being snuck into the V3, but given that it has more processor than the V2, I would only have to believe it is coming.
The last AMA mentioned they were moving to more native FW AI.
I don’t believe this is entirely correct. I think only Person Detection AI is going to be on the cam. The rest will require CamPlus and those will still be done by the server.
Person Detection w\ CamPlus will be done by both to increase accuracy.
Yes. All notifications are server based triggered by a motion or AI event logged on your account at the server. To get the notification, the event still must go to the server and go to your Events List. All your notification settings are also on the server.
It should speed them up for Person Detections since the event is entering the server with a PD tag already from the cam.

Geez Louise, talk about burying a lede. Thanks @SlabSlayer ! So 2 years later Wyze has finally recreated what they lost when Apple and Xnor screwed them over? Nice.

Yes. Not sure that was supposed to be put out there, but indeed it was. It created a bit of a buzz at the time.
This is certainly in line with the statement by Wyze in a previous AMA that they were moving toward cam based Edge AI again. And now with it announced in the V3Pro, the proverbial cat 
is out of the bag 
!
Would love for them to be able to rub Apple’s nose in it!
