Wyze - Cam V4 2.5k QHD WiFi, Indoor/Outdoor, Wired Security Camera with Color Night Vision - Gray

Q: Is there any charge (fee) for using this camera and app?

A: The answer is Yes and No. If you want all the features like saving to the cloud and other features then yes. What I did was use an old micro SD card and you insert it into the camera. Then you have to format using the app. Once you do all that, you can basically use the camera for free without the subscription. It may be a little annoying because you will constantly see ads to upgrade. Just make sure you select to save the videos on the SD memory card in the options within the app. Also, it will not notify you of any movement within a 5 minute period. For example, if you walk past the camera and then 1 minute later walk pass the camera , it will only show you the first time walking past. It takes 5 minutes to reset for the next movement. I hope this helps you out before you buy the camera.

Q: Does it come with micro chip, can it be used without micro chip

A: Hello there! The Wyze Cam v4 does not come with a microSD card included. However, it can still be used without a microSD card. Here are some details: Without a microSD card: The camera will still function and you can view live streams, receive motion alerts, and use cloud storage for event recordings if you have a subscription to Cam Plus or Cam Protect. With a microSD card: You can enable 24/7 local recording and store more footage locally. If you want to take full advantage of the 24/7 recording feature, we recommend using a microSD card.

Q: Can this camera be used in a vacant home with no internet. Just a wi-fi hot spot. If so, can I use my phone remotely to activate the "siren"?

A: Hi there! The Wyze Cam v4 can be used without a continuous internet connection by scheduling recordings to a microSD card. However, to set up and configure the camera initially, an internet connection is required. Once set up, the camera can record to the microSD card even if the Wi-Fi drops, as long as it has power. However, to use features like activating the siren remotely, you would need an active internet connection. This is because remote access and control through the Wyze app require the camera to be connected to the internet. If you have a Wi-Fi hotspot available, you could potentially use it to connect the camera to the internet for remote access.

Q: How many Hours of recording on local memory card ?

A: The recording time on a local memory card for the Wyze Cam v4 depends on the card’s capacity, resolution setting, and recording mode: Resolution Setting: Higher resolutions use more storage. Lowering the quality will extend the recording time. Recording Mode: Continuous Recording: A 32GB microSD card typically stores around 2-3 days in HD quality. Event-Only Recording: The card lasts much longer as it only records when motion or sound is detected, potentially lasting several weeks depending on activity level. Card Capacity: Wyze cams support up to 256GB microSD cards, significantly extending recording time. In general, a larger card and event-only recording will maximize recording duration.

Q: is there an app that doesn't charge $40/mth to record?

A: What I did was put in a 128GB micro SD card. Then you need to format it using the Wyze App. After that you can choose an option in the settings to save videos to the SD card. Once you do that you can view the videos on the SD card within the app. You can do this on the free version but it gets a little tricky on where to go view the videos. Once you do it a few times you will know.

Q: What’s the length of charging cable?

A: 6 foot i went on waze ita self to take pic for you

Q: What temperature range does the outdoor camera operate in? What is required for a "hard wired" application?

A: Hi there! The Wyze Cam v4 operates in a temperature range of -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C). For permanent, hardwired power to an outdoor electrical box, you would plug the specialized Outdoor Power Adapter into the outdoor outlet, and then connect the adapter's micro USB cable to the camera.

Q: can the camera feed display on a tv using the alexa fire cube and can you describe how 2 way voice communication works- my client has a strong voice but no arms and cannot touch a phone. must be voice activated.

A: Hi there! Yes, the Wyze Cam v4 can display its feed on a TV using the Alexa Fire TV Cube. Additionally, the camera supports two-way voice communication, which can be helpful for your client. Here's how both features work: Displaying Wyze Cam v4 Feed on a TV with Alexa Fire TV Cube 1. Enable the Wyze Skill in Alexa: Open the Alexa app on your device. Tap More > Skills & Games and search for "Wyze." Select the Wyze Skill and tap Enable to Use. Sign in to your Wyze account to link it with Alexa. Follow the prompts to discover your Wyze devices. 2. View the Camera Feed: Once linked, you can use voice commands like: "Alexa, show me [camera name]." The live feed will display on your TV connected to the Fire TV Cube. Two-Way Voice Communication The Wyze Cam v4 has a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way Audio. To use this feature: Open the Wyze app and select the camera. Tap the microphone icon to speak through the camera. Your voice will be transmitted through the camera's speaker, and you can hear responses through the app. Voice-Activated Communication for Accessibility Currently, the two-way communication feature requires interaction through the Wyze app, which may not be fully voice-activated. Unfortunately, Wyze does not natively support hands-free, voice-only activation for two-way communication. If your client relies solely on voice commands, they can use Alexa to view the camera feed but may need additional accessibility tools or devices to enable two-way communication without physical interaction. We hope this helps! If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.
