Wyze - Battery Cam Pro 2k HDR Wireless Outdoor/Indoor Security Camera with Motion Detection and Two-Way Audio - Black

Camera does what its supposed to more or less. I've used Wyze cams since the first generation. This is my first Wyze battery camera, and the battery part is very disappointing. Nowhere in my researching through the company ads or device information did I find a general run time on battery alone if constantly recording to sd card. I get it set up, and boom right there in the app it says 10 hours on a full charge. Guarantee you that if I had seen that number listed anywhere on their website, I'd have passed on buying 3. The only way I have made it work, is purchasing after market solar panels that have 2xs the charge capability of the wyze ones. About 6 hours of direct sunlight, and the camera is fully charged. By about 3 am, I get notified that the cameras are at 20%. Another issue i have had is that sometimes when you change settings, the only way for them to take is to restart the camera. Also, they forget to mention that a bunch of the features that the cameras have, are only accessible once you pay for their premium subscription.

I have 8 of these cameras, and they work extremely well. I also use a couple of Wyze floodlights, doorbells, and OG cams. I love being able to control/view them all from one place. I use solar chargers on most of the Wyze Battery Cams, and they work perfectly. I have tried Arlo and Ring cameras, and found their performance to be poor.

WYZE Battery Cam Pro is easy to set up and use. The videos are clear and the displayed field of vision is great. I paired mine with a long universal mount for under soffit mounting and a solar panel. I have another Cam Pro I set up the same way six months ago and it's working flawlessly. The solar panel comes highly recommended if like me, you're not thrilled about climbing ladders to charge or change the battery in this camera. Thanks WYZE for affordable solutions to home monitoring!

I now own 5 Battery Cam Pro model cameras--two of them still work OK--two of the others do not automatically begin recharging when the voltage drops below the specified level (note: these units are hooked up to a compatible solar panel, the panel is working and charges these batteries when attached directly to the battery, but does NOT charge the battery when installed in the camera, all other connections appear to be good and correctly hooked up)

Love the quality of the camera, only this that I have notice in difference with it and my inside camera is that when I choose SD Card, it says no video available at this time.only the events on the SD can be viewed. My inside camera lets you look back on the day even when no events have been recorded. I have them both on my yearly subscription
