- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2025Color: BlackStyle: 2 packVerified PurchaseI've bought a few of these Wyse cameras now and my only regret is not buying them sooner. They are so easy to install, set up, and works the app. The cost of the service is very affordable at around $12.99 a month. You have two walk talking with these camera's. Meaning not only can you tell people to get off your probably now they can talk back and tell you what they are doing there. Or you can ask the mail person to hide the packages so your other half doesn't see them when they come home. They also have a spot light and a alarm.
The app is amazing and so easy to work. You can do so much within the app. Like zoom in on the picture or vehicle. You can set the range of your camera's. They have night vision and so much more. I highly recommend Wyse Camera's and I've tried multiple different camera's including Ring and Wyse is much better and more affordable.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2025Color: WhiteStyle: 2 packVerified Purchaseafter going through 2 of Reolinks outdoor cameras, and it failing to stay connected, reconnected, disconnected again and again, I gave this a try, and is was stunned at the ease of install, effortless connection to wifi, the pan and track feature is something to see in action. The night time real color feature is awesome. The price, ease of install, good app for phone, and able to install on PC using Bluestacks makes these cameras a must buy. Being wired for power, the camera never stops or shuts down since there isn't a battery that limits viewing. Its been a week and I have those two running on a monitor 24/7. Totally worth it, reolink is a bust and a buggy device, but Wyze has the goods and proves it every time I look at the screen with that clear color picture.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025Color: WhiteStyle: 1 packVerified PurchaseBought on Amazon , took a while to finally make use. Setup was one of the easiest of the 2 wyze cams I've owned and still use. Image is great. I use it to nanny cam my pizza oven outside while prepare the pie dough inside, relieving a ton of stress. With the fire going brightly i can't make out any details of the flame or read the temperature gauge on the oven but that's a contrast issue obviously but it's working fine and will serve such purposes as nanny or security. Low light color image is quite good. I've had connectivity problems long term with my older versions but eventually they cooperate. So far this one has been fine though admittedly not had long enough to say.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2023Color: WhiteStyle: 1 packVerified PurchaseReview is on 2023-03-12.
Having owned the Wyze Cam V3 as my introduction to the brand - moving to the Pan V3 was almost a natural path. It's a great camera for a great price. The bulk of the company's money seems to be made on the subscription side, so the hardware price is sold with minimal markup it seems.
The camera itself - hardware and quality - are not much different from the regular V3. Good picture quality and such. There are 3 primary differences between the Pan and the regular V3.
1 - Panning capability. The camera can turn - not 360 - but almost.
2 - Not magnetic. Must be mounted on the provided base - or similar item that the screw can fit.
3 - Micro USB cable is right angle and not straight.
PANNING
The camera can turn almost in 360 degrees on the base. It has what's called "waypoints" where 4 areas can be set and the camera will automatically move to each area once selected within the app.
The camera supports time-lapse and motion following.
NOT MAGNETIC
If you wanted something similar to the regular V3 that you could stick somewhere - this won't do. Based on viewing the Pan V2 - they are similar in terms of the base. This does make some sense since the base can swivel, but it's something worth noting.
USB CABLE
The regular V3 has lots of cables available that are weatherproof. Finding one for the Pan V3 - and I guess the V2 as well - is very tedious. The right-angle cable needs to sit inside the base of the camera and I've not found any extensions that have this feature. If you're going to purchase a third-party cable, you need to ensure that the micro USB end is about 19mm/0.75in so that it will fit snugly inside the base of the camera. This means you MUST use the original cable. I've not seen a similar right-angle cable on Amazon or even on the Wyze website - so there's no replacement. Another option - which I've done - is to buy an extension cable that is compatible with the device. I had a regular USB2.0 extension cable and it didn't work - guess it doesn't carry the voltage as well. Waiting on the linked device to arrive and test.
https://a.co/d/3dER0lL
I assume I'll either have to heat-shrink or tape the connection between the original cable and the extension. If someone else has seen the cable or something that will work - please link it within your review or as a reply to this one. The items below were found on the Wyze forums and linked here to make things easier.
CABLE

TAPE

Additionally - if you're technically inclined - you could cut the cable and solder it to a different extension. Persons have said in the Wyze forums that it's only power - no data - so just 2 wires are required. Do that at your own risk.
UPDATE - 2024-01-02
So now. Having had the device for some time, I've used and abused it a bit and have more details to add for the review. Both the V3 and the PAN has had some weird issues for me. I'll get into those individually.
V3 - I recently decided to go on vacation and didn't want my cat to be left without food. While my current solar setup isn't 100% - it provides enough power until about 2AM and the area is secure enough that a dead gap isn't a problem. I really just need the cameras to monitor my cat. So a typical "pspspspspsps" call to get the cat to come around is used along with the name - but strangely, the camera seems to cut out with errors once this is done. Almost like it dies - has some firmware issue - or something. I'm going to test and see if it's the sound or pitch, but I've really not tested voice on any of the cameras for more than a few seconds previously. To get the attention of my cat I need like 1-2 minutes per camera. When the camera goes offline, it needs to be manually power cycled in order to be available again. Since my solar setup dies and comes back, that works out for the V3 somewhat, but it's concerning that the cameras have a flaw where extended voice or a sound/pitch will cause them to suddenly go offline. You may need to test this with your own cameras to verify.
PAN - the V3 PAN has an even stranger issue. While it seems to share the same issue as above, it also seems to factory reset the device if there's the audio function usage or even periodic power cuts - which happens based on the solar setup I've got going as explained above. Again, this is concerning. I have to climb up on a ladder to physically reset the device and rescan the QR code to have the camera available again. This is very inconvenient.
With those problems in mind, I think WYZE should have an option to "re-add" a camera that's giving issues. That way any existing configurations including waypoints can be kept and you don't have to do everything over from scratch - including sharing the camera with family members if you do that.
Again - hopefully this review helps and persons can be aware of potential flaws. Overall - still a great camera and the functions of the PAN are good.

Almost like it dies - has some firmware issue - or something. I'm going to test and see if it's the sound or pitch, but I've really not tested voice on any of the cameras for more than a few seconds previously. To get the attention of my cat I need like 1-2 minutes per camera. When the camera goes offline, it needs to be manually power cycled in order to be available again. Since my solar setup dies and comes back, that works out for the V3 somewhat, but it's concerning that the cameras have a flaw where extended voice or a sound/pitch will cause them to suddenly go offline. You may need to test this with your own cameras to verify.
PAN - the V3 PAN has an even stranger issue. While it seems to share the same issue as above, it also seems to factory reset the device if there's the audio function usage or even periodic power cuts - which happens based on the solar setup I've got going as explained above. Again, this is concerning. I have to climb up on a ladder to physically reset the device and rescan the QR code to have the camera available again. This is very inconvenient.
With those problems in mind, I think WYZE should have an option to "re-add" a camera that's giving issues. That way any existing configurations including waypoints can be kept and you don't have to do everything over from scratch - including sharing the camera with family members if you do that.
Again - hopefully this review helps and persons can be aware of potential flaws. Overall - still a great camera and the functions of the PAN are good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera - installation can be tricky but great, read my review for details
Color: BlackStyle: 1 packVerified PurchaseIf you’re installing this outdoors they recommend to purchase the outdoor plug as the one it comes with is meant for indoors and not weatherproof. The outdoor one only comes in white but easy to install and you will need the adaptor plug because it needs to be flush against the camera in order to install a bracket. I purchased a bracket that is further away from the wall than the one that comes with the camera.
Note, the software only has an Alexa option (just an update on this comment, even though it only has Alexa in the software, I was actually able to add the device to my Google account )and you will need to purchase an SD card in order to have the free service, when you go into the app and you click on each photo, it will prompt you to purchase cloud service but you don’t need this if you purchased an SD card I personally purchased the Wyze 32 gig card.
To view your pics/videos from the SD card in the app, click ‘events’ then click on a photo that was taken and click ‘playback’. Worry when you see under events at the top right of the screen next to the search icon is a picture click it and you’ll see a nice view of all the pictures on that camera.
The track motion is a cool feature but doesn’t work well in the rain or snow as the camera tries to focus on each droplet or rain or snow so you’ll want to turn that off during precipitation otherwise, the feature is very good.
All in all, I am very pleased with this device. I was quite concerned about installing it at first due to having to potentially purchase a cloud service, but you don’t need to. I think there are other functions that you might have to. I’m just getting into all of the features and will post more once I find more.
