Once again positioning themselves as the low cost leader in technology, Wyze is planning to launch a wired, 1080p video doorbell for the low cost of $29.99, basically $70 less than Ring’s cheapest product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With preorders starting today<\/a>, Wyze is planning to launch the video doorbell during January 2021. It’s going to provide a 1080p full HD video stream at a 3:4 aspect ratio (ideal for checking on a smartphone). Similar to a Ring, it allows for 2-way audio so you can speak to whoever is at your front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wyze video doorbell lights up when motion is detected and starts recording, useful for scaring off anyone trying to steal a package off your doorstep. There’s an option for push notifications as well, basically a alert any time motion is detected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding video storage, the standard plan is free. When motion is detected, the Wyze doorbell records 12-second videos and stores those videos in the cloud for 2 weeks. There’s also a $2-a-month upgrade option that expands video recording frequency and isolates alerts to detected people only (as opposed to an animal or a windy day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doorbell is IP65 weather resistant and has 19 different chime sounds ranging from regular doorbell chimes to birds chirping. It’s not clear if there’s a custom option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One drawback id that this doorbell is specifically for hardwired installations, thus you simply can’t mount it anywhere on your home. It will need to replace an existing doorbell. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
