I'm absolutely done with Wyze. What is a good reliable alternative?

Just getting into Wyze cameras. Had the pan duo cam for around a month now, it sits on the wall outside my garage. Also a Wyze cam OG outside the front door. Both have been awesome. It’s never skipped or missed any movement, even at -20°C. I didn’t buy the subscription service and I didn’t even sign

How the heck do some of you people have no issues with these cams? Is it the type im buying?

They are the absolute cheapest of the cheap hardware, on purpose. I have had an issue at one time or another with every single item. Magnetic door sensors that self destructed, once the battery died they can never be used again even after replacing the battery, apparently it was a flawed design. Doo

Live video while away doesn’t work

When you say ‘wired ones’, which cameras are you referring to? All Wyze cameras are wireless. Maybe you are trying to stream from an outdoor battery cam. They have other issues. I have Wyze cams from v2 (early 2018) to OGs and zero issues live-streaming when away from home (fiber 300/300 and an old

Looking for suggestions for a bird feeder with camera that doesn’t have AL identification or need a subscription?

We love our Wyze Bird Feeder! have had it a year. We also have Wyze Pan cams outside and have used them for several years. Our original OG Wyze cam worked for 5 years outside in the snow and ice of Northern Ohio. We've moved further west and that camera worked like a champ for another 2 years. 7 yea

Looking for camera recommendations

I use wyze v4's for my squirrels, and wyze OG on my birdfeeder, and multiple v3pros around the yard, and recently added a v3 pan camera. They all require a plugin. They do have battery models but in below zero temps they die fast. But I can view them anywhere my phone has a signal. User interface is

Wyze sucks more every day. Need an alternative

I’ve been replacing my wyze cams as they fail with these. They do work quite well and I haven’t had nearly any of the “drama” I’ve had with the wyze cams. It’s sad, I really liked wyze but they started to cheap out over the years.

New nosy neighbors stealing food, looking in windows, going through our trash!

Motion active light cameras with the audio you are being recorded. I grabbed a bunch of wyze og ones and they work well inside of and out.

Wyze Cam bulb is butt fugly. The only place it would fit is my inside fixtures, outside, perhaps upside down with half my fixture missing, and get rained on and I do not put cameras inside looking in. Even then it would look like an alien in my ceiling/crawling out of the attic. Explain how this Sig
