Wyze Cam OG? EVERYTHING you NEED to know is in this review!

We need a Wyze doorbell with local storage already.

Thank you

I didn’t know the 12 second clips were going away. Hopefully that means they’re going to try and offer a localized 2.5” drive solution like they teased before

Does the OG have a magnetic base like the V3?

I think I'm gonna use the OG to film my bird feeder and bird houses. Maybe add some solar panels to them. Hopefully they get good close up video because I'm going mount one right on the tray feeder so I can get good close Ups of the birds while feeding. Right now I'm using a
Eufy soalrcam S40 That's about 10' away from all the feeders as an overall Cam to view all of the feeders. My only concern with the Eufy S40 Is that I'm seeing a lot of them have water intrusion. I'm thinking I might just use the OG to view the whole area and then also use them also for close up individual feeders and houses. We live in Florida so we get lots of rain hoping these are water proof. Your thoughts

Nice review. Thank you. BTW, I was wondering what you meant by always offering a free SD card?

I'm a new user to security cameras. Just bought and put the WYZE OG in service as a trial run. Great price but I have experienced continual false motion tripping after dark. Watching the live stream shows frequent orbs, sparklies, tracers, fireworks, glitter shows, and the like, which trip the motion sensor. The motion tagging shows where they were, but are usually so quick, there is nothing in the box. There is absolutely no motion in front of the camera, no bugs, moths, bats, etc. The frequency can be as high as every 15 minutes through the night. I've done all the typical things like restarting, resetting. I've sent a log to WYZE for review. Daytime use is OK, but it has failed on at least 3 times to detect actual motion of a person walking through the protected zone during daylight. Also, unless you use a paid service, the camera has a 5 minute cooldown, meaning that it will not detect new motion within 5 minutes of reporting a motion event. Not sure how this cam shows color at night unless you have some outdoor lights lit, mine is always black and white. I'll probably keep looking for a camera that better meets my needs.

Do you mean no more free 12-second clips after April 2023 (not 2022)? Because I'm still getting these with a 5-minute cool down on my V2s and V3s. And does this mean older cameras will suddenly stop providing the videos, or just any newer models bought after the date? Thanks

Great video it made ME LOL...

Is there any improvement in the audio quality in the OG? I have V2 and the audio quality just is awful. I can't discern any words that are being said.

I bought the OG to replace a Wyze 3. I do NOT like it. It routinely misses events and only records for 12-13 seconds. I did all the troubleshooting and even called WYZE tech support. Went thru all that and updated firmware. I'm returning it and very disappointed.

Hey, We are ONWOTE, a manufacturer of PoE and Wireless Security Camera Systems. Any chance for us wo work together to install and review our camera system? I had emailed you the details of the proposal, hope can get your response and move forward! Thanks.

Did I miss it or you didn’t officially give a review of the new microphone and sound system in this wyzecam OG?

You will not get Cam Plus lite with the OG cam what a rip off, you people doing these review you need to let the people know that you're not telling everyone you are being dishonest

ve been a Wyze cam customer for about 4 years do not purchase the Wyze cam OG. It appears as if Wyze has forgotten where they came from, a great cam a great service will be no more again do not purchase the Wyze cam OG you do not get the same benefits from the original cam.....no Cam Plus Lite service 👎 and that sucks

Wyze should definitely do a dash cam. A body cam. A PC cam. A cam that doesn't break if it drops 4 feet would be nice! Thanks for sharing tho. New subscriber

Do you still get thumbnails with the OG? The 12 seconds sometimes was useful but many times wasn't cutting off before the actual event. Having the thumbnail of what triggered the camera would still be useful. Do you get that with OG??

well, i just wanna see whats going on outside my house specially at night, i think the OG is the one i need.

Wyze engages in predatory practices, exploiting customers for profit. If you sign up for CamPlus on IOS they will market you to receive CamPlus at a discount and then sell you duplicate services from their website at a discount. If you don't realize (as I didn't) that they were actually charging you for this second (UNUSED) account they are happy to DOUBLE CHARGE you for their CamPlus services for a 1 year subscription and then point out that their website says they cannot refund you for any of their services. These are definitely deceptive and unethical business practices. They know that for the low amount of dollars involved they will get away with this as no one in their right mind will pay an attorney to SUE THEM over this- BUYER BEWARE - Wyze offers excellent products but takes advantage of it's customers.

I hope they make a dash cam for the cars

No more 12 second then how will we find motion events

Cam plus lite is not supported. I have sd but the ads are annoying

Great review

Free SD cards??? How?

So we can't rotate any of these through the app?

I can’t get it is the telephoto 3x zoom is fixed to 3x zoom and you can’t zoom out ?

My plug don't fit and order a out don't plug and it don fix

Does it plug into a wall outlet?

Subscribed because all that character work is top notch. 😅

The OG was a mistake, not impressed and returned it!

Wyza cameras are decent. I’ve had them now since they came out. Their customer service is very bad. Enough to make their cameras not worth it. I guarantee you there are more worth it ones out there after being a customer for so long I am switching over this year to another brand! Wyze cam is gonna keep charging a lot more for their services and not train their staff to be Able to do anything but read a lil script back and fourth

It keeps our plant safe the time lapse haven't tried

Your reviews give a lot of information in a short time - please slow down a little and give more footage. Now, can I use a car battery to power them up? They will be installed far from an outlet ...

I’m new to the security cameras also I wanted it to basically see what my dog was doing while I was gone Would it work good for that

We live in a city area, where chances of little vandals snatching away any such outdoor fixture is realistic, so placing a cam behind my window is the better option. The built-in spotlight on the Wyze cam OG however may cause glare from inner reflections of the glass. Is there a solution to minimise glare (assuming there are no other issues) on the OG when placed behind a window ?

Will you still get a notification if the camera detected movement? If you just have sd card?

You seem to be aware of the non-adjustable, low bitrate, compression that plagues all wyze cams. Would you be able to bring more awareness to it in a video? People have been asking for a setting to adjust bitrate for years. I can only assume they refuse because it'll cause cause issues with their cloud storage solutions but it should work just fine for local starage.

I just bought a OG to replace a V3 with a foggy lens and my signal strength on my OG is far less than my V3 I guess I got a lemon.

Nice shot, mount 2 cam to pay twice

Why in the world would you do that silly intro on what "OG" means and then not tell us? If you don't know, at least tell us that.

What camera would you recommend for harsh weather? Such as snowstorms and negative 50 degree winters? As is the place i live north dakota. The camera would be mounted underneath a patio but would still be in contact with the elements to an extent. Any thoughts? Thank you.

While i love Wyze, the most frustrating issue i always run into with my 5 cameras is the Error Code: 90. I have very good wifi range at my house and this error l always seems to crap out the devices when i wish i had them working most

Does the OG Spotlight get triggered by motion sensing?

No view playback deal killer

Is this waterproof?

Thank u 🙏🏾
