Video: Wyze Cam Pan Review - $30 Pan, Tilt, Zoom (sorta) security camera

Buy it on Amazon - https://amzn.to/2JDw9gB (affiliate link) -See my original Wyze review: https://youtu.be/rtelMZf8QiE - Wyze has a cheap but feature rich PTZ security camera for only $30. Is it perfect ? No. But it's better than its $30 price tag suggests. See more home security cameras: http://lon.tv/homesecurity and subscribe ! http://lon.tv/s

The camera needs some improvement in its motion tracking feature and simplifying the process of utilizing its PTZ automation. But overall it's a solid offering with a lot of features for a low price. I like that it doesn't have any ongoing subscription fees either.
