The V3 cameras for example change the color of the status light (if you have it enabled) when the camera is uploading video. However, if it is uploading video to the Wyze cloud servers because of a motion event, it will also change the color, so you can't tell if someone is watching or if it's responding to motion.

The detection zone tests allow you to determine the distance at which the detector will detect alarms. In test mode, the light indicator lights up continuously, switching off during the alarm. In order to determine the detection area, use the device light indication as a guide.

How far away can a Wyze camera be from the WIFI? ›

WYZE says 300 feet in an open field. I find that hard to believe. It depends where the base is and what your house/structure is made of. I still have a good connection at 45 feet but after that it may or may not work through 4 walls and across the yard.

Does Wyze alert you of movement? ›

Motion Warning is only available as a free option on Wyze Cam OG devices. For pixel-based Motion Warning on Wyze Cam OG, when a motion is detected in the detection zone, the camera plays a selected warning audio message every 10s through its built-in speaker.

Is the Wyze camera always recording? ›

Yes, Wyze Cam v3 can record events continuously.

Without Cam Plus, there is a standard 5-minute "cooldown" period between similar* event videos. This means that when there is continuous motion, but no Cam Plus, Wyze Cam v3 will only capture one 12-second event video every five minutes.

What is the purpose of motion detection? ›

Although motion sensors' main purpose is to warn the business owner or admin of unwelcome “visitors”, such as burglars or thieves, they are also used for other situations where motion is the kickoff event, such as the automatic opening of doors, or the automatic turning on of lights.

What is the difference between PIR and motion detection? ›

Unlike ultrasonic and microwave motion sensors, passive infrared (PIR) sensors don't emit any energy. Instead, they detect movement with a pyroelectric sensor that senses changes in the infrared radiation naturally emitted by living beings and objects warmer than absolute zero.

You can set Wyze Cam v3 to record an Event Video when it detects motion and/or sound. A subscription to Cam Plus, Cam Protect, or Cam Plus Lite is required for this feature.

How do the Wyze entry sensors work? ›

The entry sensors that are apart of Wyze Sense, that are used with the Home Monitoring System have a “tunes” function that bonks at the hub when door are opened. Or you could connect to say Alexa and have Alexa devices make a noise when the entry sensor opens.

How does the Wyze Cam spotlight work? ›

Recording triggers a cooldown for both the camera and the spotlight. Any motion detected during this time will not be recorded or trigger the spotlight. The spotlight will only turn on when dark and motion is detected then will automatically turn off after motion is no longer detected.
