And because we’re Wyze, we firmly believe that premium, innovative security shouldn't come with a luxury price tag.

The Deep Dive
Plug-in Wired Cameras: Wyze Cam v4. If you want 24/7 continuous local recording without ever balancing on a rickety ladder to swap batteries, this is your camera. Just plug it into a standard wall outlet and let it do the heavy lifting. Get unmatched security with crystal-clear 2.5K QHD resolution so you can read license plates and perfectly identify whoever is lurking around. Perfect for keeping a constant, unwavering eye on the driveway or front hallway so you never miss a thing.
Battery-Powered Cameras: Wyze Battery Cam Pro. Don't have an outlet near that dark corner of the backyard? No problem. These run entirely on massive rechargeable batteries, meaning you can mount them literally anywhere without calling an electrician. It's completely wire-free and runs on a heavy-duty battery that lasts up to 6 months on a single charge. Perfect for renters, detached sheds, and catching neighborhood raccoons in the act with vivid Color Night Vision.
Pan and Tilt Cameras: Wyze Cam Pan v4. Staring straight ahead is for amateurs. With motorized bases that spin 360 degrees, these are like robotic guards that actively scan the whole room. They leave zero blind spots for mischief, making them absolutely perfect for tracking the cat's 3 AM zoomies or monitoring a massive open-concept living room. With stunning 4K Ultra HD resolution, you aren't just seeing who is in the room—you're reading the text on their graphic tee.
Video Doorbells: Wyze Duo Cam Doorbell. Your front door is the busiest spot in your house. Replace your traditional chime button with a smart camera that alerts you the second a package arrives. With TWO cameras and full porch coverage, it's the punch that'll send porch pirates packing! Use crisp two-way audio to tell the delivery driver to hide the boxes, or tell uninvited guests to hit the road. Best of all? You can do it all without being forced into a pricey monthly subscription contract.
Floodlight Cameras: Wyze Cam Floodlight v2. Burglars and neighborhood raccoons share one major weakness: they absolutely hate bright lights. Combine a wide-angle security lens with blindingly bright LEDs that kick on the second they detect movement. Turn night into day with two 2800 lumen, adjustable and motion-activated LED lights that illuminate your path and keep intruders at bay. It’s the ultimate active deterrent that turns pitch-black driveways into illuminated, crystal-clear 2K video.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to hire a pro to install these? Heck no. Skip the expensive electrician appointment! Honestly, if you can successfully plug in a toaster without tripping a breaker, you can install a plug-in Wyze cam in under 20 minutes. For battery and outdoor cameras, a simple drill and a few minutes are all you need, and we guide you through the wiring step-by-step right in the Wyze app.
What happens if my Wi-Fi decides to take a nap? Great question. While you won't get live alerts on your phone during an outage, your camera isn't totally useless. Pop in a microSD card and it will keep doing its job by recording continuous local footage so you can review the video once your router finally cooperates again.
Can I control all these different cameras in one place? Absolutely. Managing your home shouldn't require six different apps. The Wyze app is your all-in-one command center. You can create camera groups, review recorded events, and tweak motion settings all from one clean, beautifully designed dashboard. Just tap to review recorded events from wherever you are.
