- Hey everyone, welcome back to another video.
This morning,
Wyze has just announced
their highly anticipated outdoor camera.
If you are not familiar with Wyze,
they make very affordable security cameras.
I've got the Wyze camera version two here,
and this thing shoots 10 ADP,
has motion detection,
you can put an SD card in this for continuous recording,
so it will record all the time,
and this thing right here is $20 on their website.
The only problem with this camera
is that it is not waterproof,
so you technically can't put this outside,
although a lot of people do.
I mean, for $20 if it gets ruined,
you'll buy a new one,
but for the longest time
people have been asking for an outdoor camera,
and as I mentioned,
Wyze just announced that this morning.
Now, over the last few months,
I have had the pleasure of being in their beta test,
so I have an outdoor camera here,
granted, this is a beta test version
and here is the base station that comes with it,
both very small devices,
here's the comparison compared to the outdoor
and their version two indoor camera.
Now, obviously the outdoors can be bigger
'cause it's got batteries in it,
while the other one doesn't.
But this thing has been
so much fun testing out and playing around with,
it's got a similar design,
where you're gonna lift it up,
you can turn it any way you want to,
and like I mentioned,
this thing is waterproof.
I'm not gonna show too much of this one because like I said,
this is just the beta test version,
although the production version
looks very similar to this one.
On the back here, there is a little flap,
if we open that up,
there is a power switch,
you can actually power this On and Off,
which I really like,
with other cameras,
you actually have to take the battery out.
This one, turn it On and Off
and then there's the charging port on the back.
And if we look at the bottom,
so this mount on the bottom comes off,
if you look at the bottom here,
there is also a slot down here for an SD card.
So this camera here,
does support up to 32 gig SD card,
and when you put that card in there,
you're gonna be able to get continuous recording.
Another feature that they just announced with this camera
that I am so excited about,
and I'm sure a lot of people
are gonna be excited about this too,
is this kinda something called travel mode.
And what that is going to allow you to do,
is that you can now take this camera anywhere you want,
internet or no internet,
and be able to record locally to the card.
So, say you're going camping,
or you're going to a hotel,
something where you're gonna wanna monitor what's going on,
say when you're away,
you can actually take this,
connect it to your phone,
and just tell it to continually record,
you can also set up time lapses on this too.
If we look at their website,
they've got a lot of demos on here
of it being used out in remote locations
or different locations in the city,
take it out to a lake
or watching a train go by,
take it out to the mountains and get beautiful time lapses
of just clouds going by in nature,
that is probably my favorite thing
with this camera right here.
And when you do have it at home,
it does come with this base station right here,
and this base station
allows it to connect to the internet
to be able to store clips up to the Cloud,
and it also has a slot on the side for an SD card too.
Now, this one also supports a 32 gig SD card slot,
and if we take a look at the back
we've got power and ethernet on the back,
we've got a USB port on the side with a reset button,
and then we've got the two antennas up here.
This base station
supports only up to four cameras at this time,
they said they're gonna be looking into that
to expand it to more.
But for this bundle right here,
a camera and the base station,
which they're calling the starter kit,
is going to be $50.
For every additional camera you wanna add onto it,
it's gonna be $40 for every additional camera,
but that is such a great price,
$40
for an outdoor camera
that you can essentially take wherever you want to.
To give you guys a comparison to that,
I have got an Arlo camera right here.
So, we've got an Arlo Ultra,
and an Arlo Ultra with a base station comes in at $400.
One camera and the base station with Arlo $400,
this right here,
a camera and a base station 50 bucks.
Now, the quality is not nearly as good as it is in the Arlo,
I will admit,
Arlo is got much better quality,
but is it worth that much more?
I mean,
if you're just using this for security cameras
or to monitor an area,
you don't need a crystal clear image,
and if you do, buy GoPro,
it's using 4K and has an amazing image quality.
But for a security camera for $50,
I love this camera
and I definitely plan on getting more of them.
I'm gonna have links below in the description
to their website,
if you guys wanna check this out.
I also highly recommend watching
their little promo video that they did,
it's a 14-minute video,
but it kinda gives the History of this camera
and it is just very entertaining to watch,
so I would definitely recommend you guys doing that.
But now that this camera has been released,
what do you guys think about this?
Did it meet your expectations?
For me, it did,
the price is wonderful,
I love the features that they're packing into this thing,
and they have more to come down the road.
I also noticed on the website
that it said that it was going to have
14 days of Cloud storage for free, no subscriptions,
so I thought that was really awesome too.
Anyway, I hope you guys like this video,
if so, give it a thumbs up,
let me know that you liked it.
As always don't forget to subscribe
for more content like this,
and I'll see you guys in the next video.
