It's a rounded white plastic cube and the base folds out of the bottom and can rotate, enabling you to set any position you want. The Wyze Cam V3 has the same cute boxy look as its predecessor. The base can be screwed into a wall or ceiling, attached magnetically, or even fixed with tape.

Open the box and you'll find the cube-shaped camera, power adapter, an outdoor-rated flat power cable that's 6 feet long, a wall mount plate, screw kit, and mounting tape. As with the last version, you might have to pay a little more if you buy from other retailers. If you buy direct from Wyze, you'll pay $19.99 for the Wyze Cam V3. Please use caution if you currently own a Wyze camera product. While I did encounter a few glitches, and person detection now requires a subscription, this small camera is a big bargain.Įditor's Note: We've recently learned of major security flaws found within some of Wyze's smart cameras that have existed since early 2019, and so we're reconsidering our recommendations for Wyze products in future reviews. I tested the Wyze Cam V3 in my home to see how it performs, and how it compares to its predecessor. Best of all, it's being offered at the same $20 price. The Wyze Cam V3 brings an improved frame rate for video, a more versatile mount, IP65 water resistance, and color night vision. The Wyze Cam V2 is already the best budget home security camera available, with nothing else coming close at this price range. The Wyze Cam V3 will make you reconsider your expectations because it boasts a surprisingly full feature list that includes color 1080p video, free cloud storage, and motion detection with custom zones.

While you can actually score some handy things for under $20, you wouldn't expect a home security camera to be one of them.
