It records 2K with HDR, adds a motion-activated light and exposes an RTSP stream for a network recorder, all in the same IP65 body size with the same 120 degree lens. The Wyze Cam Pan v3 answers with the one thing a fixed camera cannot do, a motorized 360 degree pan and 180 degree tilt that follows movement, and it is usually a little cheaper. Everything else is shared: color night vision, free 24/7 microSD recording, free smoke and CO alarm sound alerts, Cam Plus for person and pet alerts, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and support for Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. Pick the Wyze Cam v4 to watch a door, driveway or corner in detail, and the Wyze Cam Pan v3 to sweep a whole room from one spot.

What the differences mean

Fixed or pan-tilt

The Wyze Cam Pan v3 turns and tilts to follow a person or pet around the room. The Wyze Cam v4 stays fixed on its 120 degree view, so it covers one area and never looks away from it.

Image

The Wyze Cam v4 records 2K with HDR, so a bright window or a shaded porch still shows detail. The Wyze Cam Pan v3 records 1080p without HDR and softens at distance.

Built-in light

The Wyze Cam v4 has a motion-activated light that brightens night footage and warns off visitors. The Wyze Cam Pan v3 has color night vision but no light.

RTSP

The Wyze Cam v4 streams RTSP to a network recorder or Home Assistant. The Wyze Cam Pan v3 has no RTSP firmware.

Size

Both measure 63 x 60 x 124 mm, but the Wyze Cam v4 weighs 222 g against 320 g, which makes it easier to stick on a magnetic mount.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both Wyze cameras praise the value, a quick setup and free local recording once a microSD card is in, and both groups complain that person, pet and package alerts need Cam Plus and that newer Wyze units fail sooner than older ones they still run. Wyze Cam v4 owners single out a 2.5K image noticeably clearer than older Wyze models, vibrant color night vision and a light that doubles as a deterrent, and describe it as tough, one unit still working after two years in a chicken coop. Wyze Cam Pan v3 owners single out the automatic tracking that covers a whole room, but mention an on-video timestamp that is often an hour off and detail that softens at distance.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
