WYZE Cam OG Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera with Color Night Vision

The Original Gangster. Good (improved) vision/resolution. I bought one for inside the garage, and one for inside the grand kids bird house (didnt want a camera that moved and scared the birds - this just sits still up on the ceiling and watches. And bonus, turns out birds dont see infrared light, so having that on to see better in the dark does not bother or harm them. Wyze cameras are generally inexpensive WiFi cameras and good quality. I have one that is NOT an outdoor camera, but I mounted it up high, close to the soffit on outside the house, covered it with a Tonic plastic bottle, and, believe it or not, its been going strong for 3 years, and even survived hurricane Ian in Florida! Back to this OG: Solid camera, no bells or whistles (does not rotate or track), just good, solid picture. There are other minor issues like false alarms on detecting motion, but you can adjust how sensitive it is. I like being able to use phone to see whats happening at the camera.

Wow, what a great picture this little camera has, and very easy to set up. I purchased this for my new brick-and-mortar store, and I love it. You do need to buy a longer cable if you plan to hang it high, but I love it. I bought more for my home, and the monthly price, if you like is not that expensive

So far everything about these cameras has been great. We have sd cards in so they continuously record which is absolutely amazing. We also get a ton of alerts for motion (even the rain will set it off) so it’s super sensitive. They are very clear which is great, I can hear people In my yard pretty clearly and of any camera I’ve used this is the only one that people could actually understand me through when I use the mic (even with my Roku cameras people couldn’t understand what was being said) my kids were able to hear me over their playing. The app is pretty user friendly and while I wish they were battery operated so I had more placement options I do love that they plug in so I don’t have to worry about them dying. When I click on to check a notification it loads pretty quickly. I’d say my only complaint is that my husband can’t view the app the same way I can (he can’t watch past events on the sd card).

This camera says indoor/outdoor, it cannot be used outdoors with the plug that comes with it. It works well for indoor use, has good quality picture and sound. Super easy to set up with the app. Has to stay plugged in. It can be adjusted to many angles. If you want to use it outdoors you must purchase the outdoor plug.

Works great, has a clear view and recording. The night mode is great and you can still see everything. I originally bought for outdoor but it was unclear that I would need to order a special outdoor adapter. As of right now I have it indoors to use it until the adapter arrives. It also has to stay plugged up to use it. I was thinking I was getting the wireless but it is not. My fault for not looking at the description fully.

Took advantage of a special sale on these. Purchased four to add to my previously owned Wyze cams I use inside and outside my home. This new model is great, small size, super clarity on video and voice, and easy connection to wi-fi/Internet. Recommended.

Many years back I purchased a half dozen of the v1 Wyze cameras when they had a deal where each one came with a 32gb micro SD card for storage. I never actually used those cameras until now , almost 6 years later. Over the course of less than 1 year, 4 out of the original 6 V1s have died on me, all randomly with no damage, not during rain or anything else obvious that could have killed them. And ALL 6 of the SD cards that came with them were bad, not a single card worked in these cameras or any other devices. Formatting didn’t even work on half of them, they just wouldn’t accept a format at all. Now, I assumed this was all just bad luck or maybe they had a rough start with their early version cameras, seeing how much everyone loves them still today I decided maybe it was a good idea to forget about the V1s and get one of their modern cams instead of constantly replacing the V1s. . So fast forward to today time, I picked up this OG cam when they were on sale for $20 something dollars in the summer of 2025. Of course once again, I didn’t even open the box until last weekend , the end of March 2026. This camera set up nice and easy compared to the original versions. It still wouldn’t accept the Wyze branded SD card…no surprise, but everything else worked well and I could notice the upgrades in speed and image quality. It was all smooth sailing for 3 whole days. And than around noon on the 3rd day it was installed, it stopped giving me event updates. Come to realize it wasn’t connected anymore, and it wouldn’t connect no matter what I did on the app. Finally had time that evening to check the physical camera itself and found out that it’s dead. Like dead dead, no lights, no noise , absolutely no response at all after plugging it into the factory charger & wire; and nothing happens when holding the button to factory reset it either. Now I’m not exaggerating, not even 3 full days this thing lasted before doing the same exact thing the old V1s would do, just randomly die without warning or symptoms prior. This one’s still clean as a whistle too! No dust, no smudges, it looks (and is) still brand new! There hasn’t been any rain in 3 days, this things mounted under a covered porch anyways, it can’t even get a splash of a raindrop let alone fully rained on, and it’s not even in direct sunlight either. The ambient temps have been between 65-78 degrees the last 3 days it was running. It’s been plugged into the OEM wire and power brick that came in the box and nothing else was used to power it. I live in a normal city in the US, we don’t have unreliable main’s voltage or frequent power surge events. There is no feasible explanation for why this current camera could or would have died in such a short amount of time given the fact that all instructions were followed to a T and you couldn’t ask for a more forgiving ambient environmental situation here, it’s far from being too cold or too hot to operate efficiently, it’s the perfect range of ambient temperature and humidity currently in FL for any consumer electronics to be operating in. It should also be noted that when I was looking thru the last few recorded events on the cam before its demise, I realized that it missed some very obvious events that should have been recorded but weren’t. To illustrate without dragging on forever…. This cam was being used for my front door, primarily as the watchdog for my mailbox and package pickup/dropoff area. I have dozens of packages getting picked up and dropped off by all carriers thru out the day, and I’ve come to learn their schedules. I noticed on the day the cam died and around the time it died, it was missing whole events that would have shown the mailman walking up and picking up boxes and putting mail in the mailbox, the camera is focused right in that area and a person standing at the mailbox would take up 25% of the entire viewing frame, aka, impossible to accidentally miss. It caught me putting boxes outside for pickup around 9am and raising the mailbox flag. It caught a random pedestrian on the street around 9:30. Than the next event isn’t until 11:30 am when Amazon came to deliver some packages…but I noticed when they came the mailbox flag was down and the boxes I put out were gone, yet no event recorded for usps doing so. I checked the tracking numbers and they indeed were there and they did pick my stuff up at 10:00am, AND the postal worker most likely had to make two trips to my porch so everything could be carried. And the cam missed ALL of that event. But than caught a different drop off an hour later. Than I believe missed one or two other drops offs by FedEx and another Amazon but recorded more pedestrians in between. Than everything went dark with no more events and zero power going to the cam. Of course I’m almost a year past my return window because I let it sit around in the box for too long. Luckily they’re cheap but I’ve really had enough with this company, I’ve never had so many products die so quickly without any good reasoning. The whole point of getting these goofy little cameras was so that I could transition away from my commercial grade Bosch/Axis setups that I was using at home for years but has just become too bulky and it’s always been way more than I really needed for home but I had the hardware already and it’s obviously leagues above these disposable IP cameras by all metrics, besides form factor and convenience of course. But realistically, I have Bosch flexidomes that have been running for over 10 years without a hiccup and now I have a dead Wyze that couldn’t make it past 3 days and 4/6 of my Wyze V1s dead in less than 1 year….i guess I’m sticking with the commercial grade stuff because I really can’t bring myself to buy another disposable Wyze cam at this point, the amount of times I’ve started and stopped the monthly service subscription is ridiculous enough is it is Now I’m not gonna sit here and say absolutely don’t buy one, but what I will say you need to 100% do if you are buying one, is start using it the day it gets delivered because that return window will come and go before you know it. And had I not egg mine in their boxes so long, most of them could have been returned because they died in less than 30 days after setup….

I just bought four of these little cameras in the last month. They are very reasonably priced and I was afraid they wouldn’t be of good quality. I was wrong. The pictures are clear, the colors are crisp. The app is easy to use and has many useful functions and options for settings. The whole set up of cameras and app took about 5 minutes each. They are very responsive to movement and sound and you can adjust the sensitivity. I like that you can set a “detection zone” if you want to cut down on extraneous detections, so instead of monitoring the entire front yard I can just set it to detect if someone actually comes onto my porch if I want. I like that I can also hear what’s outside when in the live mode (and speak to someone outside). The siren, microphone and spotlight work very well. You can set it to make an audible “WYZE” tone outside if it detects someone OR to let them know they are being recorded. I actually have a couple of mine sitting on outside window ledges with the cord coming in under the window to plug in. The cords are flat so it works. The others are mounted outside near outlets and they came with what you need to mount them. I’m not paying for the iCloud storage for the videos because I don’t need it. And since I’m not doing the advanced monitoring there are functions that I don’t get. But that is ok for me right now. Overall, I’m very happy with them. Considering getting one more. You can look back through the recording and they are marked where there were sound/movement detections. My only negative is that you can look back at the video on the app in 30 second increments rather than actually “scrolling” so you could miss something that wasn’t detected. If I take the SIM card out and put it in my laptop I can do more of a “scroll”. I have had a few episodes of verified movements that weren’t detected/notified/marked on the video but nothing big. That aside, I highly recommend. And I’ll add that 10 days after getting these one of my cameras recorded a neighbor’s trailer being stolen. So while I didn’t have the alarm/notification set to go off overnight on that particular camera I was able to give them the footage which they say has been helpful.

I recently purchased the WYZE Cam OG 1080p HD Wi-Fi Security Camera, and it has been a fantastic addition to my home security setup! The camera delivers sharp 1080p video quality, both during the day and at night with color night vision. The built-in spotlight is a great feature, providing extra illumination when needed. The setup was straightforward, and the Wyze app is user-friendly, allowing me to customize settings such as motion detection zones and notifications. The two-way audio is clear, and I love being able to communicate through the camera. The camera also supports local and cloud storage, giving me flexibility in how I save my recordings. Overall, the WYZE Cam OG has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and value. It's an affordable option that doesn't compromise on quality. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and budget-friendly security camera!

Excellent product!

I have so many of these cams and I love them! It has an free app you can use to see what's going on wherever you've setup the cams. They work great outdoors and indoors. You can flip them 180 degrees upside down if needed and change the setting in the app so they are the right way up. They work in the dark and have motion sensing for recording. Great little cams! Love them.

I received a camera that doesn't work. Is still within return n replace window. The chat window that opens on selecting replace doesn't provide any resolution other than technical trouble shooting. Amazon and vendor no one is reachable. finally call gets connected on the last day of eligible returns, and they refuse to acknowledge 6 days of chat history. And Amazon declined to replace, even though within return /replace window. Not worth buying, based on the terrible customer service interface

It came with a usa two pin usb plug but other than that it's good
