From Box to Protection in 10 Minutes (Without Breaking a Sweat)

Download the App (2 minutes)
Simple, intuitive interface with zero technical jargon

Position Your Camera (2 minutes)
Magnetic base sticks to metal surfaces, or simply place it on a shelf
Total time: about 7 minutes for most users.
No technical knowledge required.
No customer service calls.
No wasted Saturday.
No marriage-testing frustration.
This breakthrough simplicity is why Wyze cameras are flying off shelves. After years of being conditioned to expect security installation to be complicated, time-consuming, and ultimately infuriating, consumers are shocked to discover it can actually be completely painless.

"I Did It Myself!" – Real Homeowners, Real Results
The reviews for Wyze read like testimonials from people who've finally found relief from a chronic condition:
Great cam before, excellent cam now!
“v4 Hands down the best Wyze camera to date! Everything is better. Had camera running in under 1 minute! Crazy easy fast. They've automated everything. Just plugged it in and only required a couple clicks. Only had to confirm WiFi network, approve adding to cam+ account and assign/skip adding cam to a group. Most of the 55 seconds setup was the cam connecting to WIFI"

My only regret is not buying them sooner
"I've bought a few of these Wyse cameras now and my only regret is not buying them sooner. They are so easy to install, set up, and works the app. The cost of the service is very affordable at around $12.99 a month. You have two way talking with these cameras. Meaning not only can you tell people to get off your probably now they can talk back and tell you what they are doing there. Or you can ask the mail person to hide the packages so your other half doesn't see them when they come home. They also have a spot light and a alarm."

Beyond Painless Setup: Protection That Actually Works When You Need It
The 10-minute no-stress setup might be what initially attracts frustrated homeowners, but it's the exceptional performance and shocking affordability that has them installing Wyze in every room:
Crystal-Clear Video That Actually Shows Faces
Traditional Night Vision
Color Night Vision
Forget grainy, pixelated footage that's useless for identification. Wyze delivers true 2.5k HD video with enhanced night vision that captures facial features, license plates, and crucial details from up to 30 feet away – day or night. When seconds count, you'll have footage that actually helps.
Smart Alerts That Don't Drive You Crazy
Traditional cameras bombard you with false alarms from shadows, bugs, and passing cars. Wyze's AI technology distinguishes between people, pets, packages, and vehicles – sending notifications only when something truly matters. No more alert fatigue or ignoring notifications because "it's probably nothing again."
Motion Tracking That Doesn't Miss The Action
Standard cameras with fixed views often capture just partial incidents. Wyze automatically pans to follow movement, ensuring you see complete events from start to finish. This feature has helped countless homeowners identify package thieves who thought they could duck out of frame.
Two-Way Audio That Actually Works
Unlike the garbled, robot-like sound of most security cameras, Wyze delivers clear two-way communication. Speak to delivery drivers, check on kids or pets, or warn off potential intruders with audio quality that ensures your message gets through.

None of the Frustrations That Make You Regret Buying Security
Zero Hidden Costs (For Real)
While traditional security companies lure you in with equipment deals, then hammer you with $30-60 monthly fees, Wyze offers incredibly affordable cloud storage options starting at just $2.99/month for a single camera. Want protection for your entire home?
Their Cam Unlimited Plan covers all your cameras for only $9.99/month – that's less than a streaming service subscription for complete home security.
Flexible Plans That Grow With You
Start with basic protection at just $2.99/month and enjoy features like person, vehicle, package, and pet detection. As your security needs evolve, easily upgrade to comprehensive coverage with their Cam Unlimited ($9.99/month) or Cam Unlimited Pro ($19.99/month) plans – without having to replace your existing equipment or learn new systems.
Works With What You Already Have
Tired of buying devices that don't play nice with your existing smart home? Wyze seamlessly integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant right out of the box. Control cameras with voice commands or create automated routines that work with your existing devices.
Weather-Resistant Without the Weather-Resistant Price
Outdoor security cameras typically cost 3-4 times more than indoor models. Wyze's outdoor options are waterproof, extreme-temperature resistant, and still remarkably affordable – perfect for complete property coverage without the premium pricing.

The Price That Makes People Do a Double-Take
The painful reality of traditional home security isn't just the frustrating setup – it's the eye-watering cost:
Traditional Security System
4 cameras: $1,200-2,000
Professional installation: $300-500 (because self-setup is nearly impossible)
Monthly fees: $30-60/month ($360-720/year)
3-year total cost: $2,580-4,660
Wyze Security System
4 Wyze Cams: $80-320 (depending on model)
Installation: $0 (DIY in minutes, without the headache)
Monthly fees: $0 (free basic features) or from $2.99/month for cloud storage
3-year total cost: $80-427
The difference? Up to $4,233 in savings while getting equal or better protection – without the setup nightmare, ongoing fees, or technical frustrations.
When people first see Wyze cameras starting at just $32.28, many assume there must be a catch. There isn't. By selling directly to consumers and eliminating the army of installers, salespeople, and service technicians that bloat traditional security pricing, Wyze delivers professional-grade protection at a fraction of the usual cost.

10 Minutes Today, Peace of Mind Forever
Home invasion statistics are shocking – a burglary occurs every 26 seconds in America, with the average incident resulting in $2,800 in property loss.
Yet over 75% of homes lack adequate security, primarily because homeowners dread the installation process and ongoing expense.
Wyze has eliminated both obstacles, making professional-grade security accessible to everyone.
Think about what this means: In less time than it takes to order takeout, you could set up a security system that significantly reduces your risk of break-ins, deters package thieves, and lets you check on your home from anywhere. Without the technical frustration, without the hole-drilling, and without emptying your wallet.
For less than the cost of dinner out, you can have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family, pets, and property are protected 24/7.
