The 2023 generation of Wyze Cam has arrived. Now with quicker live-streaming, 3X faster notifications, improved 2-way audio, and a 3x telephoto lens. Indoor/outdoor*.
I've been using this camera to check on my bird feeder from across the yard, and that 3x telephoto lens really lets me see the details without scaring them off. The two-way audio is clear enough that I can talk back to my dog when he's out there.
The notification speed is noticeably faster than my old one, and the 2-way audio actually lets me talk to the delivery driver without any echo. The picture quality through the 3x telephoto lens is sharp enough to count fence boards from across the yard.
The zoom is genuinely useful—I can read a license plate from across the street now, and the live stream loads before I even finish tapping the notification. The improved audio is crisp enough to hear leaves rustling, which is a nice bonus for keeping an eye on the backyard.
I was a bit skeptical about the telephoto lens, but it captures clear details on my bird feeder from 30 feet away—the 3x zoom is no gimmick. Two-way audio works great for scolding squirrels, and live-streaming loads noticeably faster than my old cam.
The notification speed really is noticeably faster than my old camera, which makes a big difference when I'm checking on packages being delivered. The two-way audio sounds clear enough that I can have a quick conversation with the delivery driver without any echo or delay.
The zoom is incredible—I can read a license plate from across the parking lot, and the live stream loads before I’ve even unlocked my phone. Audio is crisp enough to hear conversations clearly. Definitely a solid upgrade from last year’s model.
Set it up pointing at a bird feeder about 25 feet away, and the 3x telephoto lens lets me see individual feathers without any blur. The two-way audio is crisp enough to scare off a squirrel, which was a nice surprise. Definitely a solid upgrade for outdoor spotting.
The zoom is genuinely impressive—I can read house numbers a block away now. Setup took maybe five minutes, and the live feed loads before I’ve even opened the app.
I was a bit skeptical about the telephoto lens on an indoor camera, but the 3x zoom is sharp even at night, and the notifications come through way faster than my old setup. Perfect for keeping an eye on the backyard from the kitchen.
The image stabilization is impressive even when it's mounted on a windowsill, and the 3X zoom lets me read license plates from across the street. Night vision clarity is a big step up from my old camera too.
