However, Wyze did recently release a firmware update to support IFTTT and I tested a recipe to enable motion detection at bedtime, which worked fine. In terms of integrations, I can’t connect this camera to my Wink Hub 2. On the plus side, there’s no cost for cloud storage of the last 14 days worth of video, which is securely sent to Amazon’s web servers. Recordings are still quite short though: 12 seconds is all you get.
That means when the camera sees motion, it not only records but also places a box around the motion so you can see what triggered the recording. This new camera supports the same 1080p resolution as the original version but with an improved sensor and it now includes motion tagging to for detection. Even so, it connected to my Google Wi-Fi mesh network without any problems. Note, that like the original version, the Wyze Cam v2 only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. I downloaded the Wyze app, created an account, plugged the camera in and pressed a button on it to start the Wi-Fi pairing process with a QR code scan. Setup was quick and easy, taking all of three minutes.
Also included is a magnetic mounting kit for attaching the camera to a wall You power it via an included micro USB cable and power adapter, and there’s full-sized USB port to daisy chain up to three cameras on a single electrical outlet. It reminds me of the Pixar lamp, if you’re familiar with that. It’s just a little cube - matte not glossy finish this time around - with a built-in base that extends the camera up about two inches. The second-generation Wyze Cam looks identical to the first, that is to say, sort of cute. It’s amazing how much you get for the price of a nice lunch. Since then, I’ve been looking to add another camera to the back of my house but I didn’t want to spend too much. Thanks to the camera footage, I was able to prove who damaged our vehicle and saved myself more than $1,400 in out-of-pocket repair expenses. I recently recouped all of the money I spent (and then some) on a Nest web cam when our parked car was hit in front of our house.
