Wyze - Cam V4 2.5k QHD WiFi, Indoor/Outdoor, Wired Security Camera with Color Night Vision - Gray

The Wyze Cam V4 is a solid, affordable wired security camera with color night vision that suits budget-conscious users comfortable with some app quirks and limited field of view.

The Wyze Cam V4 offers solid value with its 2.5k QHD resolution and color night vision, which is a notable upgrade over many budget cameras that only offer black-and-white night vision. Its wired design ensures continuous power, avoiding the hassle of frequent recharging. The camera works well both indoors and outdoors, thanks to its IP65 rating, making it versatile for front porch monitoring or indoor security. Integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Home adds convenience for voice control. However, the app can sometimes be clunky, with occasional delays in live feed loading and notifications that can be inconsistent. The camera’s field of view is around 130 degrees, which is decent but narrower than some competitors. Another limitation is that while it supports local storage via microSD cards, cloud storage requires a subscription, which might not appeal to all users. Setup typically takes about 10-15 minutes but can be tricky for those unfamiliar with WiFi camera configurations. This camera is great for budget-conscious users who want decent image quality and color night vision without breaking the bank. On the other hand, those needing ultra-wide coverage, professional-grade reliability, or fully wireless options might want to look elsewhere.
