In-Depth Review
The Wyze Cam v3 is one of the most impressive value propositions in smart home tech. For $35, you get 1080p full-color starlight night vision (genuine color in near-darkness, not just IR), IP67 weatherproofing for outdoor use, two-way audio, and Alexa/Google integration. The magnetic base makes positioning easy, and the Wyze app is well-designed and reliable. Cloud storage requires a Cam Plus subscription, but local microSD card storage is free. It's not without compromises — 2.4 GHz only, no HomeKit, and Wyze's privacy practices have faced scrutiny — but at $35 per camera, it's hard to argue against.
