For just $25, you get a security camera with a surprising number of features, including 14 days of free cloud storage, local storage and the ability to link to other smart home sensors. While it has a few limitations, the Wyze Cam is one of the better deals in smart home tech. You can also view a feed on any of the best Google Home compatible devices with displays, but not those made by third parties, such as the Lenovo Smart Display. With Amazon's assistant, you can stream a live feed of the Wyze Cam to an Amazon Fire TV stick or Fire TV-equipped TV. Wyze's camera also works with Alexa and Google Assistant. The Wyze Bulb, which is a tunable white LED smart bulb, is one of the best smart lights you can buy. Additional motion sensors cost $6 each, and a pack of four door/window sensors costs $20. The Wyze Sense kit, which costs $20, includes the bridge, two door/window sensors and one motion sensor. Samsung is pursuing a similar strategy with the company's SmartThings Cam. You can perform similar actions with third-party devices using Alexa or Google Assistant, but it's convenient to be able to do everything from one interface. So, for example, if one of the door sensors is tripped, the camera can automatically start recording and the light bulb can turn on. The rear of the Wyze Cam has a small indentation where you can insert a Wyze Sense Bridge module, which allows you to link the camera to Wyze's motion sensor, door and window sensors, and smart light bulbs. I found it much easier to find saved videos from the app’s home screen: Just click on Events. If you’re in the camera view, instead of showing thumbnails of event videos, you have to select an individual day from a calendar, then scroll through a timeline to look for shaded sections, which indicate when video was recorded. Wyze’s app doesn’t make it easy to find recorded videos.
