HD 1080 Low Cost camera - looks interesting

A new startup called WYZE has gotten some interesting reviews from several publications.
I first saw the introduction in the New York Times…

$20 for HD wireless 8X zoom camera…only two places to buy…direct or thru Amazon.

Their first production run ha been sold out but they claim new shipment in 1 to 2 weeks…

I ordered (2) from Amazon (because of good return policy)…anxious to try one out…

does anyone have one already?

take a look and let me know what u think!

read what the press has to say…NYT has a good overview…

[color=red]The WyzeCam can only be used with the Wyze App on a smartphone device (iOS or Android). There is no web interface.

No, the WyzeCam does not support any APIs for capture or streaming.

based on these two FAQ replies, the camera may not be usable as a WX cam but still pretty low cost for security or just monitoring…

any of you experts have any thoughts?

Thanks

Steve

Impressive price point, and 4 stars from Amazon customers :smiley:

Security has been a big issue with webcams recently. Amazon reviews has some interesting comments, and response from Wyze, regarding security of this cam.
