Wyze’s basic wireless home security camera is the best-selling model on Amazon for so many good reasons. It costs just $26 and yet it has all the features you would want from a simple camera. What you might not realize though, is that there’s a newer model the company sells that’s packed full of awesome additional features, and it only costs an extra $12! Definitely check out the Wyze Cam Pan 1080p Pan/Tilt/Zoom Wi-Fi Indoor Smart Home Camera before you buy a camera from any other brand — you won’t regret it.
