In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the Wyze Battery Cam Pro, highlighting its main features and specifications. The camera records in 2K resolution (2560 by 1440 pixels) with a 134-degree diagonal field of view and 15 frames per second, both day and night. It includes a Starlight sensor with a 1.6 aperture and spotlights with 187 lumens output for better night vision. The camera uses PIR motion detection and radar for reliable detection and is powered by a 6200mAh rechargeable battery, which can last up to six months depending on usage. It can connect to 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, has an IP65 weather-resistant rating, and is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT. A Micro SD card slot supporting up to 256GB will be available via a firmware update, but currently, a subscription is needed for cloud recording. The packaging includes a battery pack, metal and plastic mount, mounting hardware, a USB type-C cable, and the camera itself. Setup involves using the Wyze app, connecting to Wi-Fi, and possibly updating the firmware.

In this part of the video, the speaker demonstrates how to install the Weiss Battery Cam Pro using the included mount and screws. They explain that the provided mount is for wall or vertical installation, though Weiss offers a longer mount for ceiling or horizontal setups. The speaker then navigates through the app’s features, showing how to access live view, manage battery life, control spotlights, use two-way talk, take snapshots, record, and trigger the siren. The app also provides access to recorded events stored in the cloud, where users can download footage. Within the settings, users can adjust detection zones, sensitivity, and recording options, including AI detections for people, pets, and vehicles, and set event notifications. Advanced settings include micro SD card management, night vision, power-saving options, and recording resolution. Spotlight settings allow for brightness adjustments and motion-triggered activation. The segment concludes by testing the camera’s recording length, noting that it sometimes stops recording early despite settings.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on testing the Wyze Battery Cam Pro, particularly its night-time video quality and motion alert notification speed. The presenter displays the camera’s performance at various distances—10, 15, 20, and 30 feet—with the infrared LED turned on. Next, they test the motion alert notification using an LTE connection and WyzeCam Plus subscription with person detection activated. The process involves waiting for a notification, which initially appears as a text notification, followed by a delayed thumbnail image. The video also explores the camera’s notification cooldown settings. Finally, the presenter tests the maximum detection distance, determining that the camera doesn’t detect motion at 40 feet but begins testing closer ranges like 35 feet.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the functionality and performance of the Wyze Battery Cam Pro, emphasizing its motion detection capabilities and associated delays. They demonstrate how the camera records upon detecting motion but note there’s a significant delay. The presenter highlights issues such as the speed of notifications, snapshot delays, recording duration, and video quality affected by compression artifacts. They appreciate the camera’s removable battery pack and mention a strong battery life with only a 4% drop over three days despite frequent activations. Additionally, the option to continuously charge the battery with a solar panel is noted. Overall, the presenter suggests there’s room for software improvements to enhance the camera’s performance.
