Let me start by saying the WYZE Cam v4 has completely transformed how I monitor my home. The 2.5K resolution is mind-blowing - I can literally see individual blades of grass in my backyard! Night vision isn't just grainy black-and-white anymore; the enhanced color night vision makes midnight snack raids by raccoons look like daytime TV.

Setup was laughably easy - I had it running in under a minute. The Bluetooth pairing eliminates that awkward QR code dance older models required. The magnetic mount is genius too; I've moved mine from nursery to porch to garage with zero hassle.

The motion detection is scarily accurate. When testing, it picked up a squirrel 20 feet away but ignored swaying tree branches. That smart spotlight? It startled me the first time it activated - bright enough to make trespassers think twice!

Now for some real talk: The spotlight can't be permanently disabled, which annoyed me when using it as a baby monitor. And while the free cloud storage is decent, serious users will want the $2.99/month plan for continuous recording.

After two months of use (through rain and snow thanks to that IP65 rating), this $30 camera outperforms models triple its price. Whether you're watching pets, packages, or prowlers, the v4 delivers premium features without premium pain.
