Wyze surprised the market in 2017 with its $20 line of security cameras, and now the company is improving these budget-friendly cameras in a major way.
Wyze Cam Pan V3.. What NO ONE tells you!
The company just announced the Wyze Cam OG and Wyze Cam OG Telephoto 3x, two refreshes of the original camera that helped launch the company from upstart to household name. The Wyze Cam OG still costs $20, but it doesn’t skimp on modern innovations.
The upgrades start with a built-in spotlight that has a couple of functions. First, it can deter potential intruders, but it also adds light and detail to a part of the image when needed. In other words, if you’re not sure what that random shape on your lawn is, just turn the spotlight on and take a look. The 40-lumen spotlight is also motion-activated.
The Wyze Cam OG also comes with a deafeningly loud alarm if the spotlight hasn’t scared off that lurking lurk at the edge of your property. Again, the alarm is motion-activated and linked to the app. You’ll get a notification on your phone when the alarm is activated, so you can investigate or, uh, turn it off and go back to sleep.
