Absolutely horrible for bullet cameras

Buyers beware: There is NOTHING good about these cameras. After a week of use we are going back. Here are the issues we had: 1. During setup we found that motion detection only occurs in the "detection zone" which is the bottom half of the screen and this cannot be changed. This severely limits the installation options of these cameras.2. On day 6 I found I came and went 3 times and not a single event was recorded. Then UPS delivered the package and again no motion detection. But I could see the live feed the whole time, so it wasn't a connection issue. I restarted the cameras and base station and they worked again.3. During the night of 6-7 days, a camera's battery dropped from 86% to 0% in about 2 hours.4. To charge, the camera was removed and it took 8 hours to charge with the cable that came with it! Then I realized that the remaining camera that was still on was NOT recording motion events AGAIN! 6. At this point I contacted Wyze support and they treated me like I was completely incompetent, telling me to "make sure I'm using the charging cable that came with it and that it's fully connected". DO NOT BUY here either. THERE IS NOTHING GOOD IN THESE CHAMBERS.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Boring packaging
