Disappointed - they are NOT like the regular indoor camera despite similar look
I have one of their indoor cameras and like it quite a bit but don't be fooled thinking this is a version of the indoor camera for outdoors. It isn't. The motion detection is sub-par with no user defined zones and no people detection. Even when you set the camera to use the defined zone (which is about 1/2 to 2/3's from bottom where it is supposed to be active) I still activates and detects things at the top of the zone about 200 yards away esp at night when there are headlights. The notifications will drive you nuts if you try to use it. I bought 4 of them and while they are doing the trick they are nowhere near the capabilities of Logitech Circle View I have. Frankly I didn't expect it to be and don't need HOME integration as these are far less money but the active zone/notification issue is a deal breaker I'm betting for most. Looking at the forums on Wyze they use a hard wired detection system so you can't customize the zone like you can with the indoor camera. The indoor camera uses some AI/pixel detection to determine what is in the frame and where it is. Bottom line is that it isn't something they can "fix" in a software update I assume. Go in with eyes wide open and decide if worth the money for you but don't think the notification system is going to be all that useful.
