Absolutely the worst security cameras…

Absolutely the worst security cameras Ive ever owned! The motor control on that pan cam v3 are either really slow and laggy or they go way too far. The zoom feature rarely zooms in all the way and it's the same with my floodlight V2 I have from them as well. I'd keep looking for something else if I was you! The customer support is almost as bad as the cameras!

This camera is a joke

This camera is a joke. They should be taken off the market. Always offline yet no Internet issues and the camera is about 60ft from the router with no obstructions. It's invariably offline when I need it the most, about 50% of the time and that's a generous estimate

Cameras just stopped working and can't get a hold of customer service to explain. Reinstalling their app blames it on cookie setting of my browser which has never been changed. Suspect their app was updated inconsistent with latest Apple IOS update or Apple IOS was undated and Wyze has not updated their app for the Apple change. Buy cameras from anyone else.

I don’t not recommend buying any of WYZE products it’s all junk! Purchased cordless vacuum the fell apart after owning for 6 months. Customer support will lie to you. I was told they do not sell parts but would replace the vaccum when back in stock and now being told it is out of warranty.

Hi there, subscriptions are not required to use your Wyze cameras, you can access live streaming as soon as you connect your camera to Wi-Fi.

If you have a microSD card inserted into your Wyze Cam, you will have the ability to record “Events Only” or “Continuous”. These recordings will be saved directly to the microSD card. With continuous recording, the camera will continuously record video to the microSD card, regardless of whether you have a Wyze Services subscription or not. Once the microSD card is full, the camera will automatically overwrite the oldest footage in order to continue recording.

“Recording events only” will only record if motion is detected. You will need to ensure that you have motion detection enabled in your camera’s settings. This is a great way to make sure you are only recording what matters to you and save space on your card! To ensure smooth viewing, footage longer than 1 minute is broken into 1-minute increments. For both types of microSD card recordings, you can view the footage through the Playback feature in the Wyze app.

Please note that the footage saved to the microSD card is independent of the footage saved to the Events tab of the Wyze app. In order to receive footage in the Events tab, a subscription to a Wyze Service, such as Cam Plus, is required. The footage here is determined based on your camera’s detection settings after enabling a Wyze Service.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our Wizards team (www.support.wyze.com). Thank you.

Refuse to back deals

We have several Wyze cameras and have a love/hate relationship with them. Affordable but yes, they can be glitchy.... not always connecting or giving delayed notifications. Because we don't rely on them for security we have been mostly able to overlook them. However, recently they offered a good deal on their annual subscription service that we wanted to take advantage of. Tried for the entire day of the sale with repeated error messages to the affect of "site not working try again or contact us". At the end of the day, after numerous attempts, I reached out to costumer service. No response for over a week and then I was told the offer had expired and there was nothing they could do about it. Such poor customer service. Heed the warnings and look elsewhere

wyze Won't stand behind their Defective products

I bought the most expensive item wyze has. Their robot vacuum. It worked fine for a while, but then wouldn't work properly. When I finally realized it hadn't been working properly, I reached out to them, but they wouldn't do anything because I reached out after their warranty period. If it had been anything other than a defective product, I would have understood, but selling a defective product (one that their diagnostics logs determined was defective from the get-go) and not standing behind their work is pretty sad. They continue to insist on giving me a $50 gift card to wyze (a company I will never buy anything from again) for their defect on a $250 product. After several weeks of back and forth with their poor customer service I've decided to write wyze off and never purchase from them again. Find a better company with a better made product and save your money and sanity.

Response to wyze on 5-1-25: After 4 months, wyze, you want to respond?! I've already been down this rabbit hole with you before and submitted multiple tickets because you guys kept closing them out on me. Which one do you want to reopen? You wasted so much time already, only to tell me, "it wasn't our fault, you were outside the 1-year window, here's a gift card that doesn't even come close to what you spent on our defective product." Send me a new robot vacuum and stop wasting my time. Your 1-star review on here shows how pathetic you are as a company, and the hundreds of 1-star reviews show it over and over and over and over again.

PENNY WISE AND DOLLAR STUPIT

I purchased 26 window/door sensors, 9 motion sensors, 3 cameras, 1 hub, one keypad, 1 socket plug and other stuff I can’t remember, mid December 2024. I received the items in a reasonable period of time, wasn’t bad turn around time at all.

When I began to connect all the window and door sensors up, they connected to the hub without issue. Due to the fact I had so many, I immediately secured the sensors to their location. I competed all of the sensors connected to the hub and placed all the sensors on the doors and windows and identified them as such.

All of the sensors showed a green light, showing they were all active and working properly. The Hub stated that it needed to have a firmware update, so I hit the update button, and after the job updated, ALL of my sensors went offline and I was unable to get them to go back online.

I contacted tech support, and they did a couple things, with no success and then advised they would send me out a new hub, which they did.

I received the hub, connected the hub and attempted to connect any of the numerous sensors that I had, with no success. I repeatedly attempted to connect various sensors around the house to the hub and nothing would connect at all, none of them.

I again contacted tech support and after 46 minutes of waiting on hold, I hung up.

The next day I called tech support, received an answer, and she was useless and provided no help. She simply said we will put a ticket in for the issue and you should receive a response in 24-48 hours.

I have a system that nothing works whatsoever and after having secured all of the sensors to the doors and windows I’m going to have to take them all off and return everything.

I’m not going to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars of my hard earned money on a system that does not work, and after reading some of these reviews, apparently is a common issue after trying to update the firmware on any of their products.

Their customer service was rude, not helpful what so ever, and I didn’t even think they have any technology background. It’s like they are reading from a script and just keep reading from the script when I tried to interject a comment. I’m still waiting for a call back from my first contact with tech support or an email. I have received nothing.

Time to take everything off and return everything, and contest my purchase with the credit card company as having received a product that does not work at all.

Had a similar experience

Had a similar experience. We have purchased over 30 cameras, and their monthly plan. Had a $30.00 camera go bad, spent 40 minutes in a chat, and finally was told it was outside their warranty. Waste of my time.

DO NOT BUY - Horrible

Terrible products, terrible customer support. Someone should file a lawsuit. Devices won’t connect to the internet, once they do, they will disconnect with each firmware update. I have wasted so many hours trying to get the devices set up and on hold. DO NOT BUY!

I ordered a Wyze product one week ago

I ordered a Wyze product one week ago, and it still has not shipped. Getting a real person to have an on-line chat is ridiculously difficult; their AI chatbot keeps you going and going in something akin to an old-school do-loop. Plus, it literally took the human(oid) Agent 10 minutes to tell me that my order is "in processing". Which is what I was told 3 days ago. So....7 days and counting on my order. Who in the world takes 7 days to ship an in-stock order?? I regret ever ordering from this company...

Money grab

Money grab - they don't care for customers.

Bought a sub with the wrong email. Requested to change to a different email. Pretty basic request right? Nope. They can't do it. I'd need to cancel the sub (no refund btw), then buy it again on the new account.

Irresponsible company

It’s outrageous how irresponsible Wyze’s customer service has been throughout my entire experience. First, I placed an order at full price, and just a week later, the price dropped. When I requested a price match, Wyze flat-out refused. To make matters worse, when I attempted to place the same order during the sale—at least five times—Wyze kept canceling my order for no reason. Every time they canceled, they invalidated my promo code, so I couldn’t even try again without being penalized. This is unacceptable and shows complete disregard for customers.

On top of that, my original order was promised to arrive by December 6th, and Wyze assured me that if it didn’t, they’d replace it with a new one. But instead of keeping their word, they wasted my time for days, making me chase down their shipping company, OnTrac, which has been unresponsive and unreliable. Wyze chose to cut costs by using this unknown, cheap shipping service instead of a trusted carrier like UPS, USPS, or FedEx. Now my package is likely lost, and instead of honoring their replacement promise, they’re pushing a refund as the only solution—again, completely ignoring their responsibilities.

It’s clear Wyze doesn’t care about its customers. They throw all the work back on us, refuse to help, and waste our time just to offer meaningless resolutions in the end. I even asked them to price match the sale price with my original order, so I wouldn’t have to return it, and they said no. All they do is push customers around and hope they give up. If this is how Wyze operates, they won’t last in a competitive market—no matter how “affordable” their products might be.

Wyze, you’ve proven you don’t value your customers. I’m done wasting my time with a company that can’t deliver on its promises or provide basic customer service.

I have 4 Wyze V3 cameras

I have 4 Wyze V3 cameras. They were fine until I updated the firmware. They no longer alert me or record. I have tried repeatedly to deal with customer service and they have closed out my support ticket twice with no resolution. They seem to NOT want to deal with their update failures. I WANT a refund.

Buyer beware the automatic subscription

I bought a Wyze Cam v3 as a birthday gift from the Wyze website. When you put the item in the cart, they package it up with purchase protection and a one-month trial of the CamPlus subscription. In the very fine print of the order confirmation email, they say that you are now enrolled in a monthly subscription and have to log into your account if you want to cancel. I didn't even create an account... I just purchased a camera. I tried to contact the support email listed on the Paypal site along with the charge and got a bounce-back message saying that the email didn't exist. I needed to dig out the order confirmation, create an account, and then cancel this subscription that I was essentially tricked into subscribing to. It's a deceptive and unethical business practice. I can't imagine how many folks get victimized by it. I hope the $2.99 is worth having a garbage reputation forever and no repeat customers.

Dreadful system

Dreadful system, completely unreliable. Constantly going off line and unable to view livestream. I am in the UK whom they have stopped selling to. The advice, when I get it, is always to power off and power on again. It will work for a while then stop. Strangely the alerts work, just not the feed. I wish it was good but sadly the updates seem to have made it very buggy. My experience goes back years and sadly it has not improved.
