Wyze Smart Garage Door Opener w/built-in HD Video, Remotely Control Garage Door, 1080p HD Video w/Color Night Vision, Two-Way Audio

I was on the fence on this. To me, Wyze was a brand I don't know, and I wasn't sure how good a QR code would work for this purpose. I'm here to tell you that it's just amazing. In fact, it's so good, that I am going to take a serious look at their other products and do some upgrading.I had a beam module which worked fine EXCEPT I had to change batteries 3 times a year. This is absurd to me. Every time I changed batteries I would get annoyed by it. I caught the Wyze one on sale and thought I'd give it a try. Instead of a door sensor, it uses a QR code and a camera mounted by the opener.For the install:I just used the 3M sticker thing on the base of my opener, put on a metal plate to the sticker and the camera magnetically mounts to that. It's easy and convenient. Clean the base first where the sticker goes (I used a degreaser spray and then water to rinse it off, then alcohol just to be sure it was super clean). The rest of it I was able to strategically wrap and wind the existing metal brackets and position it nicely behind the opener. The QR code I just put it somewhere near the middle, but not right behind the car in case I want to open the trunk as to not block it. It probably doesn't matter that much but that's what I did.I only had one issue with the app install, which I'll detail here in case it helps anyone else. I did the QR calibration, and it was successful. However I was not seeing any notifications for open/close. I tried a few things (being new to it) without luck. What did work, however, is I reset services and restarted the camera. That was it. No big deal. So if you find it isn't working quite right after QR calibration, just go in the app and do that.Image Quality: The image is amazing. Low light... really amazing, I was surprised to see good image quality with color even in low light. I haven't tried out the total dark yet, I'll try to update once I do.(Update: enabled the Near distance IR Auto, super clear b&w image in pitch darkness)Build Quality: It isn't as heavy or sturdy feeling Google camera. It's very light. It doesn't feel cheap or anything, but definitely doesn't have that weight the my other cameras have. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but as long as they last I'm fine with it. The nice part to this is that they are easier to mount and less bulky.Other?Features are really nice, rivaling or maybe even better than my Google cams. The image quality definitely seems better. The app is so much faster than nest or google home. The connect time on the camera... also super fast. When I bring up the app, the image is just there right away. No waiting on buffering and all that. Really impressed by that, too.I've been down on Google's cameras lately as I feel like Google isn't even trying anymore. The newer Google cameras aren't really any better than the old ones (I have both). I feel like the only upgrade was they could make them cheaper for more profit. The Wyze ones are seriously nice and I am really considering cleaning house and dropping all my Google cameras and replacing them with Wyze. It's considerably better overall.

Works great and paired right up with my account, minor configuration required to perfect the timeout. The only negative was that it had a hard time reading the QR code to determine open/closed (this seems common). There is a full page print out that can be found on their forums which can be attached as well in supplement of the original folded up version. Affixed it directly to the bottom of the garage door opener using the provided sticky 3m ring.

This item did not work. I spent hours trying to make it work and then over 1/2 with customer service who could not get it to work either. My opener is compatible but the Wyze controller is just a P.O.S. I saw that the website has taken down the review section due to too many bad reviews.WYZE was also bought by ROKU and we all know how buyouts/mergers/partnerships work out for the consumers and customers.The seller was great. I received the product as promised.
