Smart security cameras are a great way to watch events in and around the house, with live streaming, recording and two-way audio capabilities at your fingertips. The Wyze line of smart cameras is one of the most affordable options around and now, thanks to an epic black Friday from Amazon, you can start with smart home security even less.

The Wyze room may be one of the most affordable home security options, but it doesn't lack features. This smart camera offers 1080p HD resolution, two-way audio, night vision and free cloud storage, plus works with Alexa Amazon and Google Assistant for convenient voice controls.

In addition to the same 1080p high-definition video features and two-way audio features as cheaper Wyze Cam, Wyze Cam Pan adds the motorized panel and tilt controls. Motorized controls mean you can get a complete 360-degree view of the inside of your home from anywhere in the world.

The standard Wyze Cam, already a bargain at its $ 25 retail price, is packaged in tons of smart home goodness in a cute little setting. Wyze's smart camera features 1080p high-definition video with a 110-degree wide-angle lens that captures everything with clear details during the day. At night, the Wyze camera switches to infrared night vision, allowing you to see distances of up to 30 meters away. A built-in microphone and speaker gives you the ability to communicate with family and even pets from anywhere in the world.

For just a few dollars, Wyze Cam Pan adds motorized controls to the mix. The Wyze Cam Pan can rotate 360 ​​degrees and tilt 93 degrees, so you can check in your entire home without having to install cameras everywhere. An incredibly cool Pan and Scan mode automatically allows your camera to "patrol" your home with four preset positions, and of course you can manually control it directly from your phone.

Both Wyze rooms have 14 days of free cloud storage, so you don't have to worry about extra fees or any other subscription to manage. Recordings are available for viewing through the free Wyze app on iOS and Android, and cameras can also connect to Alexa Amazon and Google Assistant for hands-free viewing on demand through a compatible smart device. Unfortunately, Wyze cameras don't work with HomeKit, so if you're deep into the world of Apple, we recommend you check out our guide to the best Apple Black Friday deals.
