This is C.C..
She's our aged miniature dachshund.
She's approximately 100 years old in dog years,
although some days you wouldn't know it.
Unfortunately, due to her age, she's taken to leaving little presents
around the house.
Now the clean up has become more frequent, so I needed a way to monitor
her and be alerted when she needed to go to the bathroom.
So it created the ultimate pet alert system.
Using my wires can be three Google Nest Cam and some very cool third
party accessories from Wasserstein.
If you have pets and have an interest in technology,
you've probably set up a Wi-Fi enabled camera to monitor them.
However, finding the perfect location that includes both convenient
angles and is close enough to a power outlet can be somewhat of a challenge.
Wasserstein has a solution designed for just such situations.
The company specializes in a series of accessories for smart home devices.
Their range of products and additional flexibility and utility
beyond the fittings and stands
that come with the various cameras and other products will sustain
kindly sent
to review samples of their camera brackets for the Wyze Cam V3 and Google Nest Cam.
However, I'm not being paid to create this video,
but just keen to try out their products as a smart home enthusiast.
I'm running a mainly Google ecosystem, but I do love my Wyze can be three,
which is still one of the most cost effective options
for smart home cameras on the market.
While the camera of choice is a Google Nest Cam,
which I've had for a number of years and was previously set up to monitor
my kid's playroom
in the interest of having complete coverage for our living room where C.C.
spends most of her time,
I'm using both cameras in unison to create a complete surveillance zone
assembly and set up for both brackets from Wasserstein.
Pretty straightforward.
one really important a nice feature with their products
is that they come with bespoke power cables,
although only the Nest Cam bracket comes with the replacement power brick,
so you'll still need your original Wyze can be three.
Berk included cable save you having to rent the much longer original cables
for both cameras around the brackets, which would look unsightly.
The end results are two very compact and neat setups that leave no training wires,
which is especially important for us because of our rabbit pepper
who likes to chew through anything within reach.
Then it's just a case of finding suitable locations for the brackets
and the cameras.
Luckily, most homes have sockets close to the ground in key areas.
This is particularly useful for Sisi, who only measures around ten inches
from port ahead.
Combined with the wide angle lenses in both devices, the low placement captures
a lot of the room comfortably in terms of performance and build quality.
Both the brackets are very impressive for their price points.
They are solid and hold the weight of the camera as well.
The brackets are well balanced and cope with the weight of the cameras,
so they don't accidentally pull the whole setup out of the socket.
What I like about the Wyze Cam V3 Barca in particular, is the white finish,
which matches the camera housing.
Once installed in the average white wall socket,
the whole setup blends into the background,
while both cameras can be set up with push notifications to your phone.
one of the bonuses of the Wyze can be three has over its older Google equivalent
is that one is also enables Pet Detection II via their Cam
Plus subscription, enabling you to filter out
other types of movement other than your pets.
The new generation of Nest Indoor cameras do offer similarly eye detection,
but it's difficult to beat.
The price of the Wyze can be three for very similar performance and features.
It's worth pointing out there is a slight delay
between the motion and the notification.
For our purposes, the delay is a little disconcerting
when you're trying to intercept CC from peeing in the house, but so far, so good.
If you happen to have a lot further to walk within your own house,
it's a consideration worth noting.
If you happen to own a Google Nest Hub Hub Max, Android TV or Chromecast
connected to a TV,
you can stream your cameras via voice command
if you'd like to keep an eye on your pets on a more constant basis.
Simply ask Google Assistant to stream the camera feeds to any connected device.
There's a couple of extra steps needed for Wyze Cam, as you'll need to connect
your Wyze account to Google Assistant, but it's very straightforward.
Overall, I'm really pleased with the brackets
and how they give me more options to mount my cameras in convenient areas
and for the price, the quality can't be beaten.
I definitely recommend picking up the brackets
if you're interested in expanding or adapting your smart home setup.
My own setup has saved as cleaning up
quite so regularly, and I think our floors are happier for it.
