This under-$20 find boosts your home security in time for the holidays

These days, it’s never been easier to add a simple yet effective security system to your home. You have tons of customizable options to choose from at different price points, and you don’t need to be a professional electrician to install them.

Right now is also a smart time to improve your home’s security, as you never really know what goes on when you’re traveling during the holidays.

So, if you still need to get a system in place, there’s no reason to wait.

Wyze, the trusted name in smart home accessories, makes some of the most affordable security upgrades available. Starting at less than $20, you can instantly and easily boost your home’s safety by pairing one of the brand’s many cameras with an affordable security plan. Seriously – that’s it!

The designers at Wyze made all of its cameras easy to set up and start using, and once they’re in place, you can remotely view your feed from your phone or computer. Most of its cameras are built for indoor and outdoor use, so you can place them anywhere, and they also have two-way talk functionality, allowing you to hear and respond to anything happening in or around your home.

Depending on your needs and budget, there are three main cameras we recommend choosing from to add to your home. You can use them individually or build a bundle with the handy Wyze Cam Security Builder to get an entire security network that gives you the ultimate personalized protection.

Learn which models suit your needs best, and do yourself the favor of investing in privacy and security for you and your family. Your peace of mind is priceless — and with Wyze, you don’t even have to spend much to get it.

Wyze updated its original camera to be faster (so livestreaming happens seamlessly), have color night vision and pair with Alexa and Google Assistant devices to deliver alerts and respond to voice commands.

This camera has a motion-activated spotlight and alarm, allowing you to install it indoors or outdoors. Plus, if you pair this with a second Wyze Cam OG or Wyze Cam OG Telephoto camera, you can watch both feeds in a picture-in-picture display on the Wyze app.


Wyze Cam Pan v3

Program this camera to automatically pan around and provide complete 360º coverage of an entire area, or use the Wyze app to tilt and rotate the camera to monitor specific spots.

This camera also has motion-tracking technology, color night vision, and a privacy mode that turns the face around and stops recording whenever you want. With a waterproof casing, this device is a valuable addition indoors or outdoors.


Wyze Battery Cam Pro

This battery-operated camera will be your favorite if you want to avoid dealing with persnickety areas and power adapters. It provides a crisp and clear, high-definition video feed with 2K resolution, color night vision, a spotlight and a siren — giving you everything you need to monitor your home properly.

Thanks to its powerful radar sensor, the camera will accurately alert you of any activity, as well as illuminate it with a bright spotlight. The battery lasts up to six months on a full charge, and you’ll want to pick up the charging dock (as well as an additional battery) so you always have a full battery on hand. Without a doubt, we think this is the most versatile camera Wyze has to offer.
