WYZE Cam OG Indoor/Outdoor 1080p Wi-Fi Smart Home Security Camera with Color Night Vision, Built-in Spotlight, Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, Compatible with Alexa & Google Assistant, Black

It came with a usa two pin usb plug but other than that it's good

I have been using Wyze cams for years now. After five years or so, the older models will just finally give out. That's OK because I want the newer models and the price for a new one is very reasonable. Got some outside the house to let me know who is around and some inside the house to keep up with my little dogs. The Wyze app is easy to use.

So easy to set up and covers a wide area. Super clear resolution!! Really impressive for the price! I will buying another one to cover another area. Using as a “puppy cam”.

Zuminall worked well for me for years and they did not nickel and dime me. But they didn’t have what I wanted in stock so I tried this on sale. This is another quality product.

Many years back I purchased a half dozen of the v1 Wyze cameras when they had a deal where each one came with a 32gb micro SD card for storage. I never actually used those cameras until now , almost 6 years later. Over the course of less than 1 year, 4 out of the original 6 V1s have died on me, all randomly with no damage, not during rain or anything else obvious that could have killed them. And ALL 6 of the SD cards that came with them were bad, not a single card worked in these cameras or any other devices. Formatting didn’t even work on half of them, they just wouldn’t accept a format at all. Now, I assumed this was all just bad luck or maybe they had a rough start with their early version cameras, seeing how much everyone loves them still today I decided maybe it was a good idea to forget about the V1s and get one of their modern cams instead of constantly replacing the V1s. . So fast forward to today time, I picked up this OG cam when they were on sale for $20 something dollars in the summer of 2025. Of course once again, I didn’t even open the box until last weekend , the end of March 2026. This camera set up nice and easy compared to the original versions. It still wouldn’t accept the Wyze branded SD card…no surprise, but everything else worked well and I could notice the upgrades in speed and image quality. It was all smooth sailing for 3 whole days. And than around noon on the 3rd day it was installed, it stopped giving me event updates. Come to realize it wasn’t connected anymore, and it wouldn’t connect no matter what I did on the app. Finally had time that evening to check the physical camera itself and found out that it’s dead. Like dead dead, no lights, no noise , absolutely no response at all after plugging it into the factory charger & wire; and nothing happens when holding the button to factory reset it either. Now I’m not exaggerating, not even 3 full days this thing lasted before doing the same exact thing the old V1s would do, just randomly die without warning or symptoms prior. This one’s still clean as a whistle too! No dust, no smudges, it looks (and is) still brand new! There hasn’t been any rain in 3 days, this things mounted under a covered porch anyways, it can’t even get a splash of a raindrop let alone fully rained on, and it’s not even in direct sunlight either. The ambient temps have been between 65-78 degrees the last 3 days it was running. It’s been plugged into the OEM wire and power brick that came in the box and nothing else was used to power it. I live in a normal city in the US, we don’t have unreliable main’s voltage or frequent power surge events. There is no feasible explanation for why this current camera could or would have died in such a short amount of time given the fact that all instructions were followed to a T and you couldn’t ask for a more forgiving ambient environmental situation here, it’s far from being too cold or too hot to operate efficiently, it’s the perfect range of ambient temperature and humidity currently in FL for any consumer electronics to be operating in. It should also be noted that when I was looking thru the last few recorded events on the cam before its demise, I realized that it missed some very obvious events that should have been recorded but weren’t. To illustrate without dragging on forever…. This cam was being used for my front door, primarily as the watchdog for my mailbox and package pickup/dropoff area. I have dozens of packages getting picked up and dropped off by all carriers thru out the day, and I’ve come to learn their schedules. I noticed on the day the cam died and around the time it died, it was missing whole events that would have shown the mailman walking up and picking up boxes and putting mail in the mailbox, the camera is focused right in that area and a person standing at the mailbox would take up 25% of the entire viewing frame, aka, impossible to accidentally miss. It caught me putting boxes outside for pickup around 9am and raising the mailbox flag. It caught a random pedestrian on the street around 9:30. Than the next event isn’t until 11:30 am when Amazon came to deliver some packages…but I noticed when they came the mailbox flag was down and the boxes I put out were gone, yet no event recorded for usps doing so. I checked the tracking numbers and they indeed were there and they did pick my stuff up at 10:00am, AND the postal worker most likely had to make two trips to my porch so everything could be carried. And the cam missed ALL of that event. But than caught a different drop off an hour later. Than I believe missed one or two other drops offs by FedEx and another Amazon but recorded more pedestrians in between. Than everything went dark with no more events and zero power going to the cam. Of course I’m almost a year past my return window because I let it sit around in the box for too long. Luckily they’re cheap but I’ve really had enough with this company, I’ve never had so many products die so quickly without any good reasoning. The whole point of getting these goofy little cameras was so that I could transition away from my commercial grade Bosch/Axis setups that I was using at home for years but has just become too bulky and it’s always been way more than I really needed for home but I had the hardware already and it’s obviously leagues above these disposable IP cameras by all metrics, besides form factor and convenience of course. But realistically, I have Bosch flexidomes that have been running for over 10 years without a hiccup and now I have a dead Wyze that couldn’t make it past 3 days and 4/6 of my Wyze V1s dead in less than 1 year….i guess I’m sticking with the commercial grade stuff because I really can’t bring myself to buy another disposable Wyze cam at this point, the amount of times I’ve started and stopped the monthly service subscription is ridiculous enough is it is Now I’m not gonna sit here and say absolutely don’t buy one, but what I will say you need to 100% do if you are buying one, is start using it the day it gets delivered because that return window will come and go before you know it. And had I not egg mine in their boxes so long, most of them could have been returned because they died in less than 30 days after setup….

These work well and are so easy to set up. I love the price and value. My whole house is on Wyze. I also liek the sd slot, so I don't need a subscription
