The Wyze Cam v4 continues the company’s tradition of offering features typically found in $100+ cameras at a fraction of the price. It captures sharp 1080p video, now with colour night vision and a built-in spotlight that can deter intruders. The free 14-day rolling cloud storage for motion events is a standout – no other camera offers this without a subscription.

AI-powered detection distinguishes between people, pets, vehicles, and packages (package detection requires the optional Cam Plus subscription). Two-way audio is clear, and the siren function adds an extra security layer. The magnetic mount and included metal plate make installation dead simple.

For $35, the Wyze Cam v4 is a no-brainer for anyone wanting to dip into home security. Buy two or three to cover every angle.
