What is Wyze?

Wyze is a smart home technology company that sells everything from smart home cameras and lighting to smart scales and robot vacuums. Other companies have huge markups for this type of technology, but Wyze offers relatively affordable and accessible options. It offers a free do-it-yourself monitoring option, which is ideal for customers who want a basic security system. There is also a professional monitoring option and a wide variety of equipment that can create a customized security system for any home.

Wyze products

Wyze monitoring

Wyze offers several types of security monitoring: an unmonitored plan, Cam Plus, Cam Protect and Home Monitoring.

Let’s cover the differences between the unmonitored plan and Cam Plus first. The unmonitored plan is free and includes real-time DIY monitoring, but that’s about it. The Cam Plus plan is for individuals and families who want more out of their security system — its features include unlimited video recording and environmental monitoring.

Cam Protect is a step up from Cam Plus. It includes everything in Cam Plus as well as facial recognition technology and 24/7 professional video monitoring backed by live agents. This plan costs $3.33 per month per camera.

Finally, there’s Home Monitoring. This plan features 24/7 professional monitoring in partnership with Noonlight. It costs $8.33 per month and comes with some free equipment and a discount for purchasing additional products for your system.

Wyze price

Wyze is extremely customizable in terms of cost. The starting price is affordable for most — a minimalist system including a Wyze sense hub and entry sensors costs $53.98 at the time of publishing.

Another option is to sign up for Home Monitoring. In this case, $99.99/year gets you professional monitoring, with a Wyze sense hub, motion sensor and keypad thrown in for free. That price also includes 40% off additional items purchased for your system.

Creating a customized system, even with 40% off, can increase the cost of your security system pretty fast. That said, Wyze is likely still more affordable than many competitors for what you get.

Wyze FAQ

What’s the difference between the Wyze app and Wyze home monitoring service?

The Wyze app is how you’ll access the Wyze monitoring service. It’s pretty limited in scope and doesn’t offer many additional features unless you pay for add-on services like Cam Plus or professional monitoring.

Does Wyze have a contract?

No, and you can cancel at any time. If you pay yearly rather than monthly, you’ll continue to receive service until the pay period is complete. There are no refunds if you choose this option, though.

What is Wyze’s cancellation policy?

After your first purchase, you have 30 days to get a full refund. After this point, you can cancel at any time. Your plan will stay active until the end of the pay period, meaning you won’t get a refund and will have service until the end of the paid period if you pay yearly.

Who monitors Wyze?

Wyze partners with Noonlight, a professional monitoring company, to monitor its systems. Its dispatchers are on standby 24/7 to route vital information to 911 call-takers and first responders.

Does Wyze work with Google products?

Yes. You can control your system with Google Assistant and watch footage through Google Chromecast or your smart-home hub. Wyze also offers integrations with Amazon Alexa and IFTTT.

Is wyze good?

Wyze is a good option for those who need simple security solutions. The company offers a wide variety of products and makes it easy to customize your home security system. If you have a big house or want a lot of cameras, then its plans and pricing will get more expensive. We recommend first identifying what you want from your security system — if your needs are fairly simple, Wyze is likely a solid choice.

    Terrible company and customer service. They will lie to you and steal your money. If you are looking to buy anything from them please avoid. So many headaches and wasted time talking to their customer service to get to nowhere. It's like talking to a wall.

    I have three of their cam v3 models since when they came out. They've been ok. I got the cam V4 recently and sent them back. What was once free you now have to have a subscription to see vídeos. Motion sensor on hold for 5 minutes after each time it's activated, unless you have a subscription. Quality not a noticeable improvement over older one. They're a bait and switch company, and I don't trust them. They've also had security breaches with user video. Stay away from this one

      I keep saying I’m getting rid of these cameras and today is the day. The worst part of these cameras is the service or lack of. They won’t load, constantly have error codes that blame it on your internet connect when my internet at this property is just fine, as I can see my internet thermostat and the weather. Today, my cameras showed a contractor come down my driveway, and then they’re dead, error codes, always the consumer fault. The other cameras on my primary residence has an outdoor camera which shows more last events than actual video of my driveway. After last app update, billed as a security fix all I get is constant advertising for more junk. I bought most from Amazon and the others from Home Depot. Their pan camera doesn’t track. The owners should go back to their previous tech employer.

      Pure garbage, these do not even rate a star. They're such pos!! Reset on their own, lose connections repeatedly, yes I have strong wifi! Rotation will not set, pan scan resets on it own, camera moves 1 inch either way and let's me know I'm at my limit so their rotation works on its own. Basically pure junk. Investing in nest cameras for house exterior. Better service, better quality.

      The app is worthless and it's impossible to get support. It's been a nightmare with these cameras. I should have read the reviews before blowing a hundred bucks on garbage. It's very frustrating getting ripped.

      The camera worked great at first, but whenever they provided a "fix" for the "latency" problem, they did not include my camera. Then they did an "update" which completely rendered the motion detection inoperable and instead the camera takes a picture every 5 minutes. That is NOT a security camera, that's just a camera. They ruined the camera and refuse to fix it.

      As I have read in other reviews, despite the fact they gave a good product, they refuse to fix their own errors. It evidently does not matter if you gave a paid subscription or not, they ruin their own product and then leave you hanging with a non functioning security camera. Remember- their "update" rendered the security camera non-functioning for the purpose it was purchased. Almost appears as though they deliberately sabotage their own equipment. A real shame.

      I’ve been a very loyal WYZE customer for years. Today they have lost me to the point where I spend the rest of my life giving the horrible reviews! My door lock which has been in service for less than a year but purchased more than a year ago (waiting for the contractor to install my new door…🤦🏻‍♂️) decided to lose its mind this week, I changed batteries, reprogrammed it about 50 times, no finger print option anymore. I called customer service, spent an hour on the phone try to translate what she was saying, no luck, she tried to transfer me to the tech person, nope too busy to respond. They emailed me a little while ago and offered me a $5.00 gift card. So it’s game on WYZE!!!! I keep giving bad reviews for the rest of my life and will replace the ten camera, door cam and lock very soon!!! Anyone know of a brand out there that work and are reliable??

      Terrible camera, terrible after-sales service. I think these cameras are a rip-off! The cameras don’t record well, even though they have SD cards in them, it still doesn’t record. The clarity of the pictures are terrible and blurred and it’s impossible to contact customer service. Today one of my cameras wasn’t working and when I called customer service they said because it was past the one-year warranty, I couldn’t get an exchange camera and there was nothing that they could do. I was told since I was a valued customer that they would give me a five-dollar gift card. What a joke! I asked her if she could get anything for five dollars in their company and she said she was just doing me a favor then she didn’t need to do it because it was out of warranty, but she was still offering me the five-dollar gift card. All I can say is this company is a joke and a rip-off. I’ll never buy from them anything again.

      This company has an abundance of negative reviews about their products, massive amounts of critical reviews, but it seem to me my experience and consequently a negative review is reminiscent of a scam retailer who takes a buyer's money then does not deliver the item purchased. Yes they on their site sold me a camera product, charged my card, then deleted the order. I called the customer service while waiting on hold for over two hours only to be told my concern will be transferred to the sales department and they will contact me shortly....They never contacted me. Shame on you WYZE!!

      I ordered a refurbished Cordless Vac, on the 6th day I receive a XS WYZE logo T-shirt. Wait till next day and called Customer any thing but service and was told, after having to prove I got T-shirt that they are out of refurbished Cordless Vacs and will only refund my money but I can keep the XS shirt. I have numerous WYZE cameras and pay for CAM+ plan so I am very frustrated with there solution. They did not say they were out of inventory when I ordered the product.

      Don't like scammers? You won't like burglars either. See your best security system.
