In their words
“Wyze cam 3 has a great picture. I am using this one to watch a turtle in an enclosure. The starlight sensor makes it so I can see her clearly with minimal light.”

“Well I have 5 V3’s. I originally ordered 3 and eventually 2 more to replace some V2’s. The original 3 failed within 6 months of putting into service. As for picture, it’s awesome. Extremely clear and night vision is way better than the V2. As always, super easy to setup and use. Out of the 11 cameras I have in service (Wyze) 6 have failed from cam pan, V2and v3. Indoor placement and outdoor placem”
