WYZE Cam Pan v3, Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera with 360° Pan/Tilt/Zoom | Vibrant Color Night Vision, IP65-rated, Pan Scan Auto Patrol, 2-way Audio and Privacy Mode, No subscription required.

I have three of these cameras, and they've been excellent. They were very easy to set up and use, and they've been reliable from day one. Even without purchasing the subscription plan, we still have access to periodic snapshots of events, which has been very helpful. The motion detection works well, and the night vision provides clear, high-quality images. They have also proven to be very durable and have performed flawlessly both indoors and outdoors. Overall, these cameras offer outstanding value for the price, and I would definitely recommend them.

I’ve had this camera for around three days, and I absolutely love it. Wish I had gotten a much sooner! Around three nights ago, my family’s car was broken into. Our drivers side window was smashed and the entire steering wheel column was gone. If only I had a camera at that time… then maybe it could have been used to deter the theft or maybe even figure out who committed the crime. I had purchased a camera off Amazon around a year earlier - but it was awful in every regard. So after our car was broken into, I started looking around online for the best cameras at affordable prices. In the end I was down to choosing between two brands - WYZE and another. I took all of the information I had about WYZE into account, as well as reviews. I even saw a video that had been recorded of another victim’s car being broken into using WYZE. Set up was easy. Took less than 10 minutes. Downloading and signing up through the app was quick and simple. The camera itself feels of very good quality; it has some weight to it and just doesn’t feel like a cheap piece of plastic. Now, when I had a different camera months ago, it did a terrible job at picking up anything, really. I had it set up to where it was supposed to notify me when a person would cross into my designated zone… rarely if I ever did. But with WYZE? No issue there! It picks up every single person, walking or riding a bike, every car that drive drives past… It’s even picked up a few stray cats. It misses nothing! And that is super important to me. I have signed up for one of the subscriptions where it is able to tell me if it picked up either a person or a car going through my designated zone. I really like that because I’m more concerned about whether or not a person is walking through the area and not a car. I get notified each time (I know for some people that might be irritating, but for me, I like to know) anything goes through the zone. The recording quality of the camera is very good for 2K. Obviously it’s not as great as 4K but hey, it’s still really good quality and everything is crisp. There is a zoom in feature so you can zoom in if you want; but admittedly, when you do zoom in, things do get a little blurry. It has an alarm, so if you happen to see someone creeping around your area or maybe getting a little too close to your car for comfort… set it off! I tested it out while a family member was in the street. They immediately looked up as soon as they heard it. So it is loud enough to where they will definitely hear it. It does have a voice feature, so you can talk through that, but I don’t see myself using it because I have my camera at a higher height. Speaking of height - this camera works amazing and like I said, captures everything, from the height it is at. I’m not good with measurements, but this camera is quite a ways up. That is one thing I was worried about; with it being so high up, would it be able to detect motion and such. But zero issues! I highly recommend you just get an SD card to go with this. I went with 256 GB. That is more than enough. It continuously records. Then you can go back and look at whatever timestamp you please; and that timestamp will show if there was any sort of activity. Once the SD card gets filled, it will simply start overwriting old videos with new ones. I love being able to control the camera since it’s a panning camera. I can easily make it look upward, more downward, left, right, whichever. So overall, I absolutely LOVE this camera and what it offers. I’m sort of beating myself up for not having gotten it sooner. Maybe then, our car wouldn’t have been broken into. I know having a security camera, doesn’t always deter theft, but it is possible, and it is nice to have the thief on camera. I highly recommend this camera. I feel everything that you get with it for the price that it is? A total steal. I’m thinking about eventually upgrading my subscription so I have access to even more features. And I am already thinking about getting more cameras for other areas of the house.

I am very impressed with the WYZE Cam Pan v3 Wi-Fi security camera! It has excellent video quality, smooth pan and tilt movement, and a wide viewing range that helps keep an eye on my home from different angles. The setup was easy, and the app is simple to use. I love being able to check the camera remotely, receive motion alerts, and monitor what is happening in real time. The image is clear, and the night vision works very well, even in low-light conditions. This camera offers great features, reliability, and convenience at a great value. It gives me more peace of mind knowing I can stay connected and protect my home wherever I am. Highly recommended!

I thought I would love this, until I didn’t. Let me start by saying that I’m a big fan of Wyze. I’ve been using them since the original v1 cam. They are easy to use and have great image quality. I’m a Wyze loyalist. That said…. We went on vacation and left the dog at home alone. He doesn’t get along with other dogs well, so we opted to leave him home, and pay a dog sitting to come by several times a day to play with him, feed him, and walk him. That part worked out really well. So I bought this camera to place in the house, so I could watch dog remotely. The hope was that I would get alerts if he barked and we can just keep an eye on him. I also wanted to know if the dog sitter thing worked for him or not. For the first day, the camera worked great. That camera followed him around the house and we could see that he was just fine. Day 2, the dog sitter turned on the tv so there would be some sounds in the house. Nice idea, but as soon as the dog walked past the TV, the camera detected the action on the screen as movement and then would just point at the TV all day…that is until the camera caught the shadows of the ceiling fan, and then it would just lock onto the ceiling fan for the rest of the day. I was so disappointed. I changed the setup to scanning 4 waypoints. That was better, but it still would detect the TV or ceiling fan as motion and stay on that, just not as bad. I could at least manually move the camera to a waypoint, but in the end it was a giant fail for my use case. Now, to be fair, I would never recommend putting an internet connected camera in my house. I don’t care if it’s a security camera or a baby monitor. These really should be used outside if you care at all about your privacy and security. For that application, this works great. The camera does a good job in low light, and performs exactly as you would expect it to. In fact, I switched this out for one of my older cameras. However, for indoor use…specifically for my use case…this was a huge fail.

I installed the WYZE Cam Pan v3 to keep an eye on our backyard and play area. The 360° pan and 180° tilt work smoothly through the app, and the motion tracking follows movement reliably without being overly jumpy. Video quality is solid 1080p during the day. Color night vision is a noticeable upgrade over basic IR — it actually shows color in low light instead of just black and white. The IP65 weather rating gives peace of mind for outdoor use. Setup was straightforward, and it connected quickly to our Wi-Fi. The free features (motion alerts, two-way talk, scheduling) are genuinely useful. I especially like being able to pan around remotely when the kids are outside. It integrates with Alexa, which is convenient for quick checks. Pros: Smooth mechanical pan/tilt with good tracking Useful color night vision Strong value with useful free features Easy app and reliable connection so far Cons: Some advanced features (person detection, longer cloud storage) require a subscription Audio can pick up wind noise outdoors For the price, this is one of the best feature-to-dollar cameras available. It’s been running 24/7 for weeks with no issues. Great choice for anyone wanting pan/tilt capability without spending a fortune.

First, I use a wide variety of camera makes and models. However, years ago I discovered Wyze and their low cost and easy to use with good video (for the time) security cameras. I bought 12 of those over the next year of them first appearing, including the Pan an V1 versions. Note that every single one of these cams STILL work, even the ones outdoors (with the silicon protectors on them) and been running just fine till this day. However, once we hit v3 and v4, and the new Pan cameras, two of the pan cameras I just recently bought, they either failed at waterproofing (despite me making sure the rubber doors were secure and they were under the eaves to protect from direct rain) and one just died and took a SD card with it. This was a Pan cam in black. I replaced it with a v4 gray stationary camera, not even a month after using it it no longer will connect to ANY network no matter how close or distance. I have a dedicated network for my POE, other brands and Wyze on a high end router and extenders where needed. Then I bought two more white latest version of the Pan cameras to put on either side of my house garage door, and these had protective domes above them even though they are "waterproof". Let's name them G1 and G2 (which is what they are called). G1 is on the south of the door which faces West. G2 is North of the door still facing West so that they can cover by motion tracking (G1) and pan scanning (G2) as I get a LOT of deliveries. On the front of my house there are 6 Wyze cameras and one Amcrest (which never has failed in any manner). Right now only G2 out of all 6 front porch and garage Wyze cameras have stopped working or stopped connecting to any network even if I take them down and reset them and use a different network (I have 3 networks running through my property here). The Black Pan Cam that was on the SouthWest corner of the house (still the front) died after being filled with water despite sealed and not directly in the rain. G1 just has stopped connecting yet seems to be still "operating" on its own following around. Trust me I have tried different extenders, networks, and the next is high powered POE extenders that have a huge range but so far it won't connect to anything. G2 still works doing it's Panning job but as with ALL Wyze cameras your chance of actually keeping a connection and watching what is going on is IFFY at best. I replaced the SW Black Pan with a v4 stationary camera. A couple of months later it now no longer works or won't connect. A few feet east of it is a Wyze camera that is supposed be watching my parking area, it too has stopped working. I have another v4 on the front porch above the locking mailbox (which is secured to the side of the house) and it watches nothing but the front porch as shipments come in and I finally realized it TOO is now not working. What is going on? All the "newest" versions of Wyze cameras SUCK! They keep failing. I have one more pan (covered from rain) on the NE corner of my house watching my gate entry between my neighbor and my home. It stopped working. (sorry for the long post but it continues) Now note that ALL my old cameras but one (a first generation pan cam) are STILL WORKING. One in one of my buildings rock solid watching who enters the building. Another one above my Lab building door watching who is at that security door. A first generation PAN cam with a silicone cover and mounted on an older Pan Cam holder, under an eave is still, after ALL these years of it being out in the rain, snow, storms, tornados and the like WORKING JUST FINE! All the first generation Wyze cameras all still work even the ones I have stored in a box I pulled out and tested, no problems. I also pay a monthly fee for all my cameras to be on Wyze's "advanced software and AI stuff" subscription for all the cameras. Lot good it actually does! That will be turned off very soon, and 32 Wyze cameras including the old ones that still work, I will be dancing around a bonfire with them melting and posting it to YT. I have invested hundreds of dollars in new Wyze cameras because I liked their simplicity and decent video quality, and that they worked. But since Gen 3 nearly every camera is failing while Gen 1 and 2 are doing just fine. I wasted that money, plus the infrastructure to connect them all to the network expanding it (something I know how to do very well) and they all get solid signals. I have tested over and over again. Now I have at least 6 "new" and "improved" cams that are worthless. They can't even watch a rock sitting still 2 feet away without dying. Naturally Wyze doesn't have a great warranty that I am aware of and some now may be out of the warranty but since Amazon started really promoting Wyze and they got popular their quality has gone drastically down. I didn't want to spend thousands on high end cameras when I THOUGHT Wyze would work just fine, and even switching some of them to different networks (the ones that didn't physically fail) to take the load off thinking that might be it, well even a brand new high end router with long range and three satellites can't keep them connected if you can connect at all to them. So to all new customers I saw, "LOOK ELSEWHERE" for a decent camera cause you cannot depend on these cameras when you NEED them to work. I haven't heard from Wyze at all on the matter despite numerous emails. I would rather spend $300 to $800 per single camera KNOWING it's going to work rock steady and not fail anytime soon (AS IT"S CRITICAL FOR ME) than spend a few hundred on cheaper and cheaper lack of quality builds all because of "new tech" in them (which the high end cameras also have AND have better video quality and can recognize license plates). So it's in your hands now Wyze. I doubt you will do a thing because you sell in BULK, not quality anymore.

Best security cam and it's not even close. The tracking is something you'd really think wouldn't work well or would break, but this is my second camera...I have had my first one for almost 3 years and it still works perfect. All my cams are outdoors rain or shine, and mounted under eaves. The tracking works excellently (and mind you is automatic or can be manually controlled), you don't need to pay for a monthly plan if you just throw a cheap micro SD card in it (it will let you watch continuous history on the app that way), and the app is really intelligent and all of their settings make a lot of sense - such as allowing it to move but having it default back to a certain area. I get less false alerts with these than other cameras, but it reliably tracks anything that goes past it. It also uses audio to pick up on things outside of frame and lock onto them, which is a really unique feature. I used to use another major household brand but switched all my cams to Wyze after finding that my 1st camera was far more useful than the 5 cameras I had from the other brand were. I had another MAJOR brand fail to capture video of someone literally breaking into my house at 3 different camera points due to lag, and my Wyze camera was upstairs (which they never made it to thankfully, my dogs spooked them) and it was the only camera that triggered, because it saw the light flash from the front door down the stairs as they exited. They walked right in front of 2 cams from the other brand in my backyard and a doorbell cam, and the lag and motion detection was so bad that the 2 rear didn't get them and the 1 front recorded AFTER they passed it. And I was paying for their premium plan too. I ditched them soon after and got this and several other Wyze products. Mounting is easy and these things never disconnect from the internet either, and notify if they do for an extended period of time, and will still record with the micro SD. The image quality in daytime is excellent, and their night time quality is second to none. Doesn't just capture IR, but gets colors at night too - which is rare for security cameras. I also think they're nice because they're more intimidating than normal security cameras. They light up when they aim at you & their motion tracking is unnervingly accurate and hard to escape. I have them mounted in positions that would be impossible to avoid, and high enough that it would take a serious amount of effort and a ladder to remove them. They are not wireless, but let's be honest it sucks having to replace the batteries every 2 months on those cameras anyways - these come with flat cables that slip right under windowsill cracks and garage door gaps and other places. Idk how they're priced so low considering they don't demand a monthly payment to provide good functionality & offer superior functionality to every other similar product on the market, but hey I am not complaining because them being priced reasonably gives me an excuse to keep getting more of them. My old cams were maybe $5 less than this each and required a $40 module to even work properly and a $15/mo subscription, and they provided probably 1/5 the value of this camera. Make the switch, you won't regret it. And no, I don't work for them or anything, I just really like these cameras!

Bought two Wyze cameras - this one and the stationary cam v4. The tilt on this one is nice but I honestly keep it stationary most of the time so prefer the higher-quality stationary ones, but my use case is also on-demand monitoring and the space is small enough that the camera doesn't need to move. So if you've got other needs - security or a large space, this is likely a great choice. Just know that 1080 quality does start to look a little underwhelming over distance. Gonna copy/paste what I said about the other camera: The two-way communication is actually pretty awesome - for as small as it is the camera's mic pics up decent audio. I did find that if you're on the monitoring end and want to speak through the camera you should do so slowly and deliberately as it takes a half-second for the speaker on the camera to kick on and broadcast; it cuts you off a little so just make sure you enunciate. Night mode is neat but I never use it. I use this for on-demand monitoring rather than 24/7 security so I had to look up how to disable certain things (motion tracking boxes, automatic light/alarm, etc.) but all were, blessedly, able to be disabled. Other reviews said those settings sometimes mysteriously come back on but I haven't experienced it, but had this operational for only about 20 days now. Having had this installed for over two week I've had none of the problems others spoke about. App is surprisingly functional and stable. I wish there were a "refresh" button in it as I had to close it out and re-open a couple of times to catch up to a live feed, but other than that no big deal. I will say they REALLY like to push notifications, access to your device, and upsell their cloud service. You can always hit no, but the popups are recurrent - I've had several in the ~20 days of use so far, so likely every few days you'll be asked if you're *REALLY* sure you don't want to buy online storage. Cameras haven't disconnected at all. Again, had to restart the app a few times but they were never unavailable to me. Unless I got lucky with these units I'm guessing they ironed out the problems people were having and/or the issues folks experience are because the cameras are on the periphery of WiFi - these do take a lot of data and so a strong, consistent signal is necessary. If you're monitoring these remotely on cell signal, know you'll need a good 5G signal to get an uninterrupted live feed. If you're low on bars or busted down to LTE you'll get some chop, maybe serious chop, depending on how hairy your connection is. These are essentially like streaming Netflix so again strong, consistent data is key if you want a truly live monitor. All in all, for the price, I'm honestly blown away. They have to be making near-zero on the hardware and using cloud subscriptions to subsidize selling the units, which would explain the constant badgering to sign up. But in the end that just means I get a really serviceable entry-level camera for the cost of a nice lunch.

Very good performance.

Me parece un muy buen producto en su relación valor/precio, su visión nocturna podría mejorar un poco, es necesario jugar un poco con las configuraciones para tener una mejor visibilidad , el timestamp en el video no sincroniza correctamente y tiene 1 hr de desfase aunqur curiosamemte los eventos registran la hora correcta. Es posible grabar directo en MicroSD y el detector de movimiento requiere una visibilidad mínima. La app móvil de Wyze permite ver los eventos, videos, configuraciones, etc. Muy fácil de colocar y configurar. Funciona con corriente directa, así que es posible mantenerla activa con un powerbank. Me parece que los pequeños detalles y bugs no entorpecen su función principal de vigilancia. Lo utilizo como monitor de bebé y cumple excelente su función, tiene función para apagar desde la app, lo cual es útil para no consumir almacenamiento y energía cuando el bebé está despierto.

Wyze pan tilt v3 came but is not powering despite trying all kinds of different connections

The cameras are great — small, compact, and easy to use. They feel well-built, made from what seems to be high-quality materials, and come with features that exceeded my expectations. Mounting is simple and hassle-free, even though is not including a mounting sticker for the bracket. The Pan Cam V3 is not upgraded version and does not supports 5G WiFi, only 2.4 which is a big downside because many routers are combining the 5G with 2.4 and this camera will not connect to a combined network . It's user-friendly and performs well overall. However, there are a couple of downsides on the hardware side: the motor isn’t super smooth, and there's occasional lag in communication with the app. When manually controlling the camera via the app, it moves in steps rather than smoothly. That said, auto-tracking is very smooth and works well. The sensitivity for motion and sound detection is adjustable. Now, while I’m really satisfied with the product itself, I’m not happy with the service and the way the subscription plans are set up. There are only two paid subscription options if you want to actually use most of the features. The free tier gives you virtually no benefits — just snapshots of events and basic live view functionality. The Cam Plus plan (about CAD $24/year) only covers one camera per account, which I find quite limiting. If you have 2, 3, or more cameras, you need to pay for a separate plan for each, which in my opinion is not worth it. The other option is Cam Unlimited, which costs nearly CAD $200/year. This one allows you to connect unlimited cameras and access all features. In my opinion, the Cam Plus plan should at least support up to 5 cameras and unlock more features — maybe not all, but certainly more than what’s currently offered. In short: I really like the product itself, but I'm disappointed with the app and the paywall system behind it. Great hardware, poor software/service experience.

One of them was faulty
