Actually syncing and activating the camera is easy, thanks to a QR code generated by the app that pairs the camera to your account.

The Wyze Cam v3 setup takes just a few minutes, with most of that time taken up by downloading the Wyze app and creating a Wyze account. This is an issue because the app allows you to remotely turn the camera on while disabling the 'On' LED indicator, leaving anyone in its field of view unaware it's recording. However, it lacks a privacy shutter found on other home security cameras such as the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera. The Wyze Cam v3 ships with a power adapter and a 6-foot / 1.8-meter USB-to-micro-USB cable, which plugs into a rubber sleeve that protects the connection from water seepage. Unlike wireless cams, this requires a nearby outlet to function. It comes with a 3M adhesive and a small magnetic plate for sticking it to different surfaces, plus a pair of screws for hanging it upside-down. Lightweight at 3.5oz /98.8g, the V3 can easily become dislodged or knocked over unless you secure it in place. In this case, insert a microSD card and set the camera to 'record on event', ensuring the full length of footage will be saved to the local storage as a backup.

If you decide to forego a monthly subscription for cloud storage, the camera will record no more than 12 seconds, after which it will wait five whole minutes before it can trigger a new event. That enables you to turn on 24/7 recording, enough for up to three days of non-stop recordings at least. Unfolding the camera also reveals a microSD card slot that takes cards up to 32GB in size. Measuring 2.05 x 2 x 2.3 inches / 5.2 x 5.1 x 58.5 cm (h x w xd), the Wyze Cam v3 is compact and boxy, although it can be pulled up from the bottom to reveal a small adjustable stand that adds up to an inch (25mm) of height. It also has a temperature range of -5 to 113 degrees F, so it can handle most climates. The Wyze Cam v3 is a wired indoor/outdoor security camera with IP65 water resistance, which means it repels all dust and handles rain and low-pressure water flow, but high-pressure sprays or submersion will damage it.
