will be a walk-through of the wise app for the wise cam version 3. if you have any other wise
products you are fairly familiar with the wise app itself so you can actually skip ahead to
the rest of the review for those of you who this may be their first wise cam and or are interested
in cam plus the subscription service that you can get from wise i actually got a free trial of it
when i purchased the wyzecam version 3 so i'll utilize this as a way of talking about some of
those features to start we're going to actually click into the wyzecam version 3 because i want
to talk about the actual interface for this camera in particular first what we're looking
at here is the live stream of my wyzecam version 3 outside because well it is plugged in but it is an
outdoor camera if we take our phone and tilt it it will go into a full landscape mode and
we'll bring it back here starting up at the top on this side you can see it says hd as
well as a number account that lets you know how well your video is going to look clicking on it
you can select from hd sd and 360p which will be your lowest so you can see i accidentally sent it
set it to sd over here we have the fact that it is a live stream we have our auto night vision or not
night vision so right now if i tap on this it's letting me know to try leaving night vision off
and that's something we're going to touch on with the version 3. so auto on for night vision off
and here you can see thanks to that new sensor in the wyzecam version 3 you can pretty much see at
least in the far distance there where there's extra light what's going on but since i want
to see what's going on in my yard having the night vision on helps out now there is a two-stage night
vision ability for this camera we'll get into that when we get to the options down here we have our
mute button so right now i don't hear anything but if i tap on this i can hear what's going on
outside likewise if i click record i can record directly to my phone what i see on the camera now
in the case of this particular camera because i got that free subscription service for a trial of
two weeks i don't actually have an sd card in this camera so that's going to be something new that i
experienced so if you're recording you would tap on that and it takes a little bit to actually
process itself and then download to your phone same thing if you try and download a motion
capture from the cloud and bring that down so it was an interesting experience they have made a
nice change where you can now just tap and start talking instead of having to press and hold i
scared some deer that were my yard the other day just by talking to them using that microphone you
can snap a picture and it will take a picture right there of what it sees coming over to more
we have motion tagging so as i've been going through the review you've seen me roll in some
footage that green box that pops up around motion that's what that is that is motion tagging albums
if i select this here we can see here are my videos
here are my photos so these videos are things that i was taking earlier today and you can see
they're each marked with manual recording if i select edit i can put a bullet i can put a
check mark next to one and i can delete it if i wanted to or i can share it so those options
are down here share and delete you also have the select all in that corner there
and we're going to come back and go back to more so that was albums time lapse you do need to have
an sd card in the camera in order to do that i've covered the time lapse i do like the time lapse
the wyzecam outdoor had very nice time-lapse features the older versions need to catch up
but hopefully with software they will and that includes the wyzecam version 3. here we have
a siren so there is a built-in siren in the camera and i might be able to do that and turn on outdoor
so stop hopefully you heard that because i can hear that through the microphone there and now my
neighbors are probably wondering what is going on they're gonna get used to having somebody testing
stuff living by them hopefully last but not least is turn off so if you wanted to turn your wisecam
version 3 off you can do so from this menu we're going to select cancel at the bottom we have view
playback if you had a sd card installed that would bring you to your recordings and the timeline
of your recordings we are going to come back up here to the top and click on this cog this cog
is for the settings of your wyzecam version 3. up at the top you have the name i just called
it v3 to make it easier on myself you have event recordings so right now i have text detects motion
but if i wanted to i could also select sound so if it hears something it will also start an event
recording for me i just care about moving things since it's outside notifications well i do want
notifications right now i have it for the wise ai detect what that is is that's that subscription
service i was talking about so this will detect people and other things and then send me a message
i can select all other motion or sounds which i'm not going to do and this is just for notifications
detection settings if we select this it'll bring us into our detection settings
here you can set up a detection zone which is this green box and you can set the motion sensitivity
and the sound sensitivity i have continuously pushed this down but the wise cam just really
the wise cam version three really just continues to pick up anything the one thing i've noticed
and don't understand is the wyzecam version 2 has moved to more of a grid like pixel choice
for selecting a zone wise cam version 3 still kept the box and i'm happy to say that they've
made some adjustments with the box because now it's a little smoother because it was
really jumpy before but i really don't know why they didn't move to the pixel-based one
because that seems to be the the new hotness for them overall this isn't bad a lot of other
things don't support this so you can actually make this as small as you need to so i only care about
that well out there if it gets disturbed so i can put a thing right around it don't tell me
if somebody's walking over here over here just if they get too close to that so this is a feature
that i really do appreciate with wise and i'm just going to try and cut that area out over there
so detection zone always a plus alarm settings so again because this is an indoor outdoor camera
using the microphone on the wyzecam if it hears a smoke alarm or it hears a co alarm
it can send a notification letting you know and it's letting you know the exact
types of co and smoke detectors that it will detect next advanced settings here you have your
record to micro sd card if you had one and manage the micro sd card again i have this
with other wise products so i'm not covering it here because i'm trying that subscription service
you have your night vision mode so off auto or on so this is another area that you can access that
night vision conditions now because of that extra sensor that brings in as much ambient light as it
can you actually have the option of do i want this to switch over to night mode night vision
mode meaning that black and white using the ir lights at dusk or in dark for me i set it for dark
because based on where i have my camera normally which is perched in a window pointing outside it
picks up enough light from the neighbors that i don't need it to go into night vision mode
until very late but since it's outside i have it at the dark which still is pretty good because
it doesn't switch over all that all too early now we have night vision options so there are
two different sets of ir light arrays right now i have this on far and you can kind of see it there
if i select near it kind of brings in that light ring that you have out there much closer these are
a wavelength of ir light that is not visible if you're really up close so for me i don't care if
it's seen which is why i leave it at far because i want to see more or if you wanted to you can turn
them off completely and then right now it's using ambient light sources to kind of figure out what's
going on out there normally it's not this bright but since it's christmas time when i'm filming
this portion everybody's got their lights on so that is our night vision ir lights you have your
camera status lights so that is a light on the front of the camera not on the back of the camera
like it is on the version 2 on the front of the camera i definitely turn that off and i'm
glad they left that option in there rotate your image 180 degrees well again if you're going to
have this mounted upside down it is good that you can rotate your image 180 degrees so you're
not looking through your app and upside down picture go time stamp show logo and record
sound those are all options that you saw on the bottom and i'll bring you back to the image
in a minute and then time sync is synced to your phone's time so quickly going back to
this right here wise logo date and time from advanced settings we have schedule and automation
so these are rules that you can set up and i've covered this extensively in other videos over
there in the corner for the wise app pretty much what this will do is you can set your camera
to either turn on and off automatically at specific times of day which i do for
my living room wise campaign or you can have if my camera detects motion
turn on this wise light over here so there's a lot of cool things that you can do with these routines
again i suggest checking out that video in the corner so you get all the goodies that that can do
sharing you can share this camera with another person they just need to have a wise account
device info is going to give you a lot of sensitive information so i won't be
showing you that why support right here built in i like that they've moved to this a lot of other
companies are as well getting away from that paper pamphlet that they used to send you and then here
you've got your plug-in version and we're going to come back to our wyzecam version 3 overview
