Wyze V2 Pet Camera

I was really excited to receive this camera because of the reviews. The first time I set it up it worked great! Then when I went to leave my house I wasn't able to get on my phone without it saying " camera is disconnected". This was a constant issue for days of playing around with it. I googled to see if others had the same issue and they did! Apparently you have to unplug and plug the camera in again to get it to work? Super weird and ineffective. I thought maybe I would get another one and see if it was just a faulty camera, but nope same thing. I am retuning both and getting a more expensive camera that will hopefully actually work!

I bought this camera because I was receiving noise complaints that my emotional support animal was barking while I was at work. My dog has never been accused of barking in the 8 years I owned him, and he is always incredibly quiet. I purchased the camera and quickly realized that the camera only records "events"; it only records a 12 second clip when it detects sound or motion depending on your settings. I quickly purchased the Wyze Cam Plus subscription for $19.99 because I wanted to continuously record rather than only have 12 second clips. However, I then also purchased a microSD chip and discovered that the Cam Plus subscription isn't needed with the chip; once the chip is installed the camera I bought this camera because I was receiving noise complaints that my emotional support animal was barking while I was at work.

So, I spent hours on the phone with Wyze customer service trying to cancel the subscription (because Wyze advertises a pro-rated refund for the year-long subscription), and after talking to several people, they were unable to even confirm I had purchased the subscription. They couldn't refund me if they didn't see I purchased it. So I will never see that money again. It was only $20 so it's not the end of the world, but it's just frustrating this company is clearly has some technical issues and are unwilling to accommodate the customer. The chewy website is great! My poor experience is a reflection of Wyze, not Chewy. … more

After struggling to get it set-up due to it not recognizing my network name for an hour, I finally got it all connected and ready to go. If it isn't recognizing your Wifi Network name, you must delete the entire app and reinstall it to try again. I reset my wifi, camera, app, nothing worked except reinstalling the app. I bought it to notify me if my dog barks, but I am not getting notifications for motion or sound. I have messed with every notification option on my phone and the app. If I wanted to watch 8 hours of recording to see if my dog barked, I would've just set up my GoPro.

Great camera, great price. I originally ordered this to watch my puppy and make sure he wasn’t doing anything crazy in his crate when I was at the gym/running errands. Works well enough that I’ll also be able to use it in the future when he’s old enough to be left out of crate. Gives me peace of mind and didn’t cost a fortune. Highly recommend!!!

It was super easy to hook up to my WiFi. **READ INSTRUCTIONS! It does NOT work with 5G WiFi so if that’s the only kind you’ve got, you can’t leave a bad review for that. It’s in plain site of the instructions.** Aside from that, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and I’ll definitely be buying another one or two of these. The imaging is clear, I can hear everything from inside and outside of my house, and I love that I can talk to my dog at any point.

I was skeptical of the video quality, considering it was so inexpensive, but this camera is fantastic! I’ve shown the quality to all of my coworkers, and they were also impressed. I now have peace of mind, to be able to keep an eye on my elderly dog, Alice, while I’m away at work. Easy to set up with the app, too! Highly recommend!

My 6 1/2 year old coon hound recently had 3 successive seizures due to a very loud noise from my new neighbors moving in upstairs. She has always been skittish, but this was alarming. But that was 2 weeks ago and she's fine now, no more seizures, but to feel safe while I'm gone, I've set up the Wyze camera and now between swimming and shopping I can see her and know she's fine.

This little camera has been a game changer for my husband and I. We don’t have a SD card in it or the subscription but love love love that we can open the app and see our 8 week old golden retriever in her crate whenever we want. 10/10! Highly recommend!

This camera is amazing. It’s small but it does the job. I propped it on my shelf in my room so i can see my dog, I can see my entire room no matter where she is. I love that I can speak to her through the camera and that it has night mode incase I’m out past dark! Definitely recommend this for your home/apartment!

This camera works so well!! Great picture quality and recordings! Awesome notification set up as well. Only downside is paying for certain features on the app after a certain amount of time, but that isn't super expensive. Only like 20$/ year. Really good quality camera.
