Pros & Cons
Pros
Whether you prefer wall mounting or positioning it on a shelf, this camera effortlessly adapts to your needs. Compared to some models of wyze cam, the stand / mounting option is fiddly. It's definitely an improvement for the telescopic shot vs a wyze ... Read More
The wyze zoom cam has great zooming for its price point. The telephoto lens further enhances its versatility, making it ideal for monitoring larger spaces or distant areas without sacrificing quality.
This camera is awesome. Its telephoto. Great picture. Highly recommend the camera.
Cons
The camera is dirt cheap (inexpensive) and has poor image quality. They make the same claim in the detailed specifications for the camera, which is found further down in the page. In my opinion the images are ruined by this artifact.
There are plenty of reputable companies who manufacture security cameras of excellent quality. They do not endeavor to use the camera as a vehicle by which they can compel people to pay for a subscription service.
Image quality suffers further from the excessive use of sharpening. While the upscaling simulates a telephoto capability, atelephoto capability and a zoom capability are not one and the same thing.

This intelligent functionality accurately distinguishes between humans and other movement, significantly reducing false alerts.
The wyze camera is excellent but the wyze non-standard 8/32 screw mount sucks and broke after only 3 days of use.
Whether it's indoor or outdoor monitoring, this camera never fails to deliver sharp, vivid images, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Price
Its value for money is unbeatable, especially considering the abundance of features and the high-quality footage it provides.
I've bought quite a few of these and am very happy with them so far, especially for the price.
Not perfect, but i'm very impressed for the price.
The mounting system is not great but you can't really expect more at this price.
Packaging/appearance
>very small package containing the camera, charger, pretty long wire, and mount.
Competitiveness
You can find better mounting setups for them on amazon.
Instead it has a fixed magnification lens, which is set to 3x as compared to the regular og camera.
