Wyze Cams have consistently earned a spot on our list of the best security cameras we've tested over the years. The company packs high-end hardware and advanced features into its budget cameras. This encompasses everything from a sharp 2K resolution to AI motion tracking for just $35.
With that said Wyze also has a history of privacy concerns. These include an AWS cloud computing lapse that showed 13,000 users a thumbnail of other owners home cameras earlier this year. I still recommend Wyze cameras to my family and friends with one rule. I rely on my Wyze Cams only to guard the less intimate parts of my home. Their value pricing has helped me expand home monitoring throughout my entryways and open-concept living space. I'll risk someone potentially seeing a thumbnail of my entryway or dining area for the lifelike image and advanced smart home functionality these little white cubes unlock.
