Let's see what we have here with the Wyze Cam.
It's a pretty small box.
Let's see what comes in here.
Open that up.
I've been practicing opening boxes, getting a little bit better as time goes on.
One piece there.
Another piece here.
Boom, pretty straightforward.
I'll know at first there's a quick start guide.
Looks pretty easy.
Don't think I can break anything that early.
Take this piece out.
Let's take this out.
Of anything, this may be one of the easier security cameras to conceal, considering how
small it is.
For our mounting plate, we've got that nice 3M.
Our cord.
Looks like we have a power adapter in here, power adapter and of course, our camera.
My initial thought are that it is smaller than I expected.
A lot of people were asking how do we think about the Wyze Cam?
I thought of it as a little bit bigger camera, more along the lines of maybe an Arlo or an
E. I guess, in some ways it is the same size in terms of overall volume.
I like that little cube.
This is kind of peek narrative here, but It looks a lot like the AT-ST or the all-terrain
Scout Transport from Star Wars.
If you're younger, you may recognize it from Rogue One.
If not, you'll recognize it from the original trilogy.
That's cool.
I like the way that looks.
We put that there.
You could push it like this.
Gives you a little bit extra height for your camera.
It doesn't have to be flat on whatever surface you put it.
Let's take a quick break.

Let's get back to the video.
Let's talk about the design a bit.
It's your pretty typical white and black with a little bit of grey that we've seen in most
of the cameras.
I've yet to see a blue or a red camera.
I think that works, because you want it to fit into any decor and really mesh with your
interior design of your home.
Here we've got what I like, a flush face.
It's black as lenses typically tend to be.
Nothing is protruding with this.
This is the version 2.
I think the version 1 actually does have a bit of a protrusion.
I like that they've fixed that with the second version of the Wyze Cam.
It's got a micro USB port on the back.
When you're going to plug it in, you're going to put the micro USB here.
You've got the USB end will go into your charger, your AC adapter that will go into the wall.
It looks to be pretty straightforward.
I do note that there is also a port here for USB.
I'm anxious to see what we can do with that.
I actually don't know.
We'll learn that as we jump into it and work on the review.
On the bottom, you'll note that there is a QR code.
I'm sure this is how you will register it with the Wyze Cam app, or whatever security
system you integrate with your Wyze Cam.
Those are the elements of the camera.
It does look like it has microphone.
I'm anxious to see how it does when put to the security [inaudible 4:31] so the features
test, looking at its video quality, things like that, especially, considering it's coming
from not the most well-known brand but one that is very, very popular.
I know that seems like a bit of an oxymoron because I've sold a lot, a lot of units.
I wouldn't say that everyone necessarily in the United States knows the name Wyze right
out the top of their head.
Let's put on Wyze and see if they're gonna shine.
Those are my thoughts from the Wyze Cam v2.
