#Wyze camera 360 how to#
Wyze figured out how to provide excellent "budget" security cameras for your home with the Wyze Cam Pan vs. Expandable storage limited to 32GB microSD.The Wyze Pan Cam v2 is shipping now, and Wyze has had a fair amount of trouble keeping stuff in stock recently.
#Wyze camera 360 update#
We’ll check back with an update once we’ve tested the camera.īut if this is the camera you’ve been waiting for, you might not want to wait any longer. And sometimes, those that have been promised fail to materialize (Alexa and Google Assistant integration are on the way, says Wyze). But in reality, these features don’t always pan out. This is what Wyze is known for, rock bottom prices for close-to-top-of-the-line specs.
All in, there are a lot of great specs and features here, in a tiny little camera, all for a pretty low price (although not as low as it used to be - the v1 started out at $30).
#Wyze camera 360 plus#
You can add longer clips and smart alerts for people, pets, vehicles, and packages with a Cam Plus subscription (starting at $1.25 a month, and you get one month free). Included features that are also on Wyze’s other cams are local storage via a micro SD card (not included) that enables 24/7 recording, free 14-day rolling cloud storage of event-based videos, up to 12 seconds per clip, and the ability to listen for smoke and CO alarms. Anyone who’s ever tried to use a security camera as a baby monitor will know why this is key: the camera face will remain black in a dark room and not disturb any sleeping babies. The final new feature is invisible infrared lights. And now there’s a siren option, which you can activate in the Wyze app. The two-way talk feature can also help you keep in touch with Fido or Felix while you’re at work or yell at an intruder. The Wyze Cam Pan v2 uses a Starlight Sensor to enhance night vision in lowlight conditions. This is something that makes the original Wyze Cam Pan an excellent pet monitor, and the new model’s faster processor is likely even better. You can toggle this on or off in the Settings in the app, but when on, it will identify a moving object - such as a person or pet - and automatically track it. If there’s not enough light, it can be set to automatically switch to standard black and white night vision.Īnother improvement over the original model is a faster processor, which Wyze says enables its motion tracking feature to more quickly follow real-time movement. Wyze says it can see in rooms as dark as 0.1 LUX (that’s very dark). Rather than relying on a built-in spotlight for color night vision, the sensor utilizes any available light to illuminate the scene more colorfully.
#Wyze camera 360 1080p#
This adds the option to see the 1080p full HD video footage the camera captures at night in full color, instead of the grainy black and white of traditional night vision. Image: Wyzeīut the big feature is the introduction of color night vision - powered by a Starlight Sensor that first debuted in the Wyze Cam v3 indoor/outdoor camera. Wyze has refreshed one of its earliest products, the Wyze Cam Pan, adding color night vision and a siren. A Pan Scan feature lets you set four custom waypoints that the camera continuously scans, so you’re sort of getting four cameras in one. But its main party trick is the ability to rotate on its base and capture a 360-degree view of your home from side-to-side and a 93-degree view vertically, so you can spot Spiderman when he crawls in through the skylight. It’s a wired, indoor camera with 1080p HD video and two-way talk. There’s no change in form factor, and the Wyze Cam Pan v2 camera looks virtually identical to its (now-discontinued) predecessor. This new model is available now, costs $39.99 (plus $9.99 shipping), and adds color night vision, improved motion-tracking, and a siren to the mix. As the name implies, this is the second generation of one of Wyze’s earliest products - the Wyze Cam Pan that debuted three years ago. Ubiquitous budget smart home company Wyze has released yet another new product - the Wyze Cam Pan v2.
