If you're in the market for an affordable outdoor home security camera, Wyze has a new product worth checking out.
Launched Tuesday, the Wyze Cam Outdoor is a wireless outdoor home security camera with 1080p full HD live streaming and recording, two-way audio, and night-vision capabilities.
The Seattle-based company is known for its highly rated yet affordable products, and it aims to reinforce that reputation with the Wyze Cam Outdoor, which costs $49.99 for a starter bundle that includes one camera, a base station, a USB cable to charge the camera, and a screw assembly kit. Additional cameras are priced at just $39.99, which lets you affordably cover all sides of your home. The starter bundle and individual cameras are available for purchase now.
Wyze also offers the Cam V2 1080p home security camera, which earned an excellent rating in PCMag's review and our Editors' Choice award, but that model is not meant for outdoor use.
Wyze says its customers have been asking for an outdoor camera since the launch of Cam V2 in 2017, and it's finally delivering on that request. This is Wyze's first camera specifically designed to be used outdoors. It's IP65 weather resistant, meaning it's protected from dust and rain.
It also features an offline travel mode "so adventurous users can watch after their hotel rooms while on vacation or take time lapses of their campsite while sleeping under the stars," Wyze wrote in a news release.
The company said the camera's built-in battery can last up to six months. Stay tuned for PCMag's full review of the Wyze Cam Outdoor.
