Too many other products as good. Still in dispute with this company after an hour on the line with untrained customer service. Go elsewhere'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "When my husband came home for his last weeks of life in dire condition, I was at first jumping up and running at every sound - like every five minutes. He was usually muttering or moving in his sleep. I ordered this camera, which arrived same day with pretty nearly plug n play installation. It saved my sanity!\n\nI can monitoring him at all times through the phone app as I move about the house, and respond appropriately. Night vision is very good. I people the phone next to my bed with the app open and can check anytime I open my eyes, and go back to sleep. I can save short video clips to show the hospice nurse for medication advice. Picture is a screenshot from the app - excellent quality.\n\nI plan to build out a security system using this brand because I'm so pleased with it. I was able to provide much better home care because of it. I wish this existed years ago when my kids were babies!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've been troubleshooting this device for a couple hours now. I can get it to connect to my network and I can view the video, but once the device reoobots (for a firmware update or just restarting the device from the app), the camera will not reconnect again. I can go through the setup process again, but then after any reboot, the device will not recommend. This is a new product and it may just be a defective firmware version I have. Either way, there is an issue with the design.\n\nUpdate: after letting it sit all night after unseccessfully trying to re-flash the firmware via an SD card, it randomly started working as was able to reboot as normal"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Love this little camera. It's pretty fragile but so far it has held up pretty well. <fingers-crossed>"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "They Pan Cam v2 has much better picture quality and night vision in dark places than the previous version. I bought 1 for backyard security and was so impressed with the enhanced night vision that I purchased another to replace the v1 for my front yard/driveway and I bought 2 for my fiance. The quality is amazing. The subscription price is very affordable. We paid less than $15/yr per camera. I love the real time notifications. But, I especially love being able to see my whole back yard in the pitch black of night. If you're not in a well lit area, this is the camera to get. The only issue I've found is that in the darkest areas, it shows everything in B&W versus color. But picture quality is great. I do love that my dust to dawn light in the front yard keeps that camera picture in color. I linked my cameras to my Alexa app and my Echo let's me know whenever a person is detected. Don't know how it does it, but I am glad it does. I know when someone is here before they knock on my door."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I bought this Wyze Pancam 2 in Oct 2021 to replace the Pancam 1. That original model used grease that volatiliszed and clouded the lens. This new one worked great for 4 months until a Feb 2022 firmware update destroyed the camera’s ability to connect to the Wyze app. I’ve done all the factory recommended trouble shooting suggestions including resetting, restarting, everything the Wyze site recommended. I’ve submitted 3 requests to Wyze for help but have heard nothing from Wyze.\nThe service log numbers we're 468672, 468801 and 469662.\nToday, March 16th, I tried trouble shooting again with the same bad results. I tried submitting a return request but their service web site is worthless; it seems designed to prevent returns of defective devices until warranty reruns out. In my opinion, Do Not Purchase Wyze Products!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have 7 of these cameras. They look great and I have lttle problems with then. Theu used to record 12 seconds of video with motion and sound. Now you only get still shots and they try to sell you their cloud service recording. This is BS! I will never buy anything from this company again! Just terrible what they have done to their customers! Cams A+ Wyze company F- buyer beware! There is a fix for the issue but now its called cam lite? The 12 second records are back but the constant popups to upgrade to paid cloud service got old 2 years ago. And why the switch to cam lite? Whatever!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Really enjoy the Wyze camera overall, but had some difficulties configuring things just right.\n\nPros:\n- Size: Smaller than I imagined and easy to place on a table.\n- Night vision: was sharper than expected\n- 360 panning: I love not having to buy multiple cameras to see what's happening in one room, especially to see where my dog is at when I'm away.\n- 12 second clips for free: Couldn't find another company that offered this.\n\nCons:\n- The app: Really hard to navigate around and set things up\n- Instructions: Had a hard time figuring out the right configurations to set things up the way I'd like."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I really can not get enough of this product. I first bought a camera back in 2019 to use as a baby cam and it was great. Now it is used as my shed camera(pics shown). Now I have 4 . Two pan cam and 2 regular. It is amazing for night detections etc.. I bought a google home to keep track of all the cameras and be able to alternate through them. Plan to purchase two more. Truly love them!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': ' There’s a lot to like about this camera. Here are the pros:\n• Incredibly easy to set up once you have the app\n• Great image quality\n• Great night vision quality\n• Excellent range of motion for panning\n• Great sound quality, my boyfriend was able to perfectly hear me singing and rapping while he was spying on me\n• Records event clips when motion is detected, which my boyfriend is extra excited about now that he has a bunch of clips of me singing, rapping, and dancing around while cleaning\n• Great quality and volume enables me to tell my dog to get off the table or yell at my boyfriend to wake up off the couch and do some laundry or something. No more avoiding my calls or texts on his day off, no mercy!\n• Great customer support and warranty! When my derpy idiot dog knocked the camera down 4 days after we got it, the image turned magenta. A simple chat with support via the phone app resulted in Wyze Cam sending a new unit, free of charge!\n\nCons:\n• Does not come with much in the way of instructions\n• Does not come with any sort of mount or anything\n\nI can’t really say anything bad about this camera so far. We have been very pleased and ended up purchasing other units for various parts of our property to enhance our security.\n\nPlease enjoy this brief clip of my derpy dog, Demolition Dilly, annihilating the camera.'}]
