I just got my hands on the brand-new wyze sense which includes two door window
sensors, a motion detector, and a wireless bridge all for around $20 and all of
that is smaller than the original Wyze Cam. Let's check it out now. [Upbeat music] Wyze sense is
tearing up the market with their low-budget amazing cameras, just
destroying the competition, that's charging four to five times as much, and
just recently they're released now their door sensors and their motion detector
so let's go ahead and jump into this box and see what comes with it. now don't be
surprised how small this package is it does have all four sensors in there even
though it's smaller than the original Wyze cam. once you open it up you see this lo
pin, this little metal pin, you actually need this do not throw it away it looks
like a pin that you use for a SIM card definitely keep that because you might
need that in the future. next you have the wireless bridge and what this does
is a bridge between your Wyze cam, this plugs in the back of your wyze cam and
will actually communicate with the door sensors and the motion detector. now they
couldn't use technology like a Wi-Fi it's just going to be using too much
batteries so they came up with their own technology and they say the batteries in
these sensors will last 12 months. of course that depends on how often you use
it but on average about 12 months in addition to the bridge you get two door
/ window sensors and motion detector and look how small these things are they're
incredibly small I can't say they are the smallest sensors I've ever seen but
comparing to my last ones these things are in a league of their own even the
motion sensor Wow. that is small. on the back of all the sensors, there is an adhesive
in which will permanently glue this down in place where you want to put this
if you just want a temporary placement I definitely do recommend some
command strips that way you can easily remove them and move them to a new
location inside the door sensors you can see the battery is a 1632 and they do
mention it lasts about a year that little squiggly little metal thing is
the antenna you can actually if you shake it you can hear it a little bit so
just make sure you don't play with that if you drop in that link breaks these
things probably will not work inside the motion sensor is a CR 2450 battery
which they also say lasts about a year now let's go ahead and set this up is
super super easy you do want to make sure that you update the app they have
thought out some new firmware so you definitely want to update all the
cameras and everything possible to make sure you have the newest software once
you do that all you need to do is plug in the wireless bridge in the back of
any of wyze cam it could be version 1 version 2 or the wise cam pan I did
notice a lot of noise coming from the bridge as I was putting this in I felt
like something was moving on the inside I check out some of the forums and
everyone is having this noise I don't know if it's the antenna moving or
something but you just want to make sure you're careful you want this as long as
it's in a camera that's not gonna be dropped should be a-ok and once you get
the blue light you're good to go let's go ahead and jump into the app and go
ahead and add these sensors which is super easy to do click on the top right
those three little dots hit add a product and then pick which sensor you
want pick I'm going to do contact now this is asking you which camera you like
to link to that's talking about the bridge so that's the only one that I
have they say you will only need one bridge per household but that's really
depending on what size house you have most people are gonna only use one but
if you have like a 15,000 square foot house guess what guys you're going to
need more bridges they say that one bridge can handle up to 100 sensors so
if you have more than 100 sensors you're going to have it have a need for that
second bridge also once you do that you're going to take that little pin
that we filmed earlier impress the lo button it tells you to on the sensor and
hold that to the little along D lights up blue you will get some voice prompts
from the camera itself to let you know that things are successful and once you
do that go ahead and name device this one I'm going to name a front door and
that's it you are all set up now go ahead and go to location and set this up
you can put this anywhere you want to you put one on the front door you can
put one on your back door you can put one on your side door and put one on a
sliding glass door I've seen people put it on washing machines and mail boxes
you can even play on your garage door setting up the motion sensor was just as
easy click the three dots that product select which product which are doing the
motion sensor we're going to say it's going to the office Bridge and then get
that little pin back out and go ahead and hold the button in for three seconds
until you get the steady blue light go ahead and name the device I'm gonna be
putting mine near the bed that way when I get al Abedin middle nights I'm gonna
trigger some lights under the bed I want to be putting LED lights so definitely
stay tuned for that video now that these things are all set up let's see what
they can do of course notifications is extremely important you want to know
when things open when they things are closed and when things are left open for
a certain amount of time so here are the settings for the wise contact center is
very cool and then you have sensor videos which is based off of the sensor
if it opens or closes it's going to start send you a video notification say
for instance dog walks by normally a camera will set that notification off
but if you set this up properly it's not going to send you a notification until
that door is open so you can set this up differently so you actually don't get
those false alerts in the motion sensor has very similar settings you have the
notifications where it detects motion and becomes clear in my initial testing
it actually becomes clear around 50 seconds or so and then it can read
trigger now I will be doing additional tests in their future so definitely stay
tuned for my full review I did expect IFTTT supports but unfortunately when I
went to my account I only saw my cameras per the website it's supposed to be
working per their form there's been some talk about it being delayed hopefully
they are getting up and running pretty soon now one of the things I was
wondering and you probably are too is how close does the magnet need to be
near the sensor to trigger it being closed or being open so the best way I
could do this is with a little tape measure and in my testing it was just
shy of under an inch going to the closed mode and when I put it back out it right
about the inch mark is when it triggered that it was open so you do have a little
bit of playroom so as long as you were thin about an inch you're good to go
I'll be doing more testing for the forward view so definitely I hope you
were consider subscribing so you get notified of that new video when I do put
it out in the meanwhile I will be updating my pros and cons list so if you
guys want to link there's a link down in the description to my full pros and cons
list so definitely check that out so as you can see these things are pretty cool
especially for $20 where you get three sensors plus a bridge I mean you really
can't beat that so I definitely highly recommend these you might want to wait
until they have IFTTT up and running but if you just want to go ahead and get
those up that's fine too like I I bought 2 kits and I'm already set up I'm ready
to rock and roll so if you guys have any questions leave them down below
I would definitely answer those if you haven't already seen my wise cam review
definitely check that out now or see you guys on the next video have a great
night
