"Wyze has announced its first battery-powered, solar-charged, 2K security camera that can rotate and tilt, providing coverage of your entire yard. The Wyze Solar Cam Pan is available now through Wyze's online store for $79.98, making it cheaper than competitors' offerings like Reolink's $88 2K pan-and-tilt security camera, Tapo's $170 4K VistaCam 360 that launched earlier this year, and the $160 3K Eufy Security SoloCam S340."
"Wyze says the Solar Cam Pan's high-efficiency solar panel can keep it running continuously with just an hour of exposure to sunlight each day. The company hasn't shared details about how long it will run on battery power alone should the weather turn cloudy for a while, or how much battery life will be reduced if the 360-degree pan, 70-degree tilt mechanism is used extensively."
"The camera can be controlled remotely using Wyze's mobile app, but it also leverages AI to detect people and move the camera automatically to track their movements across your property. The Solar Cam Pan can record at night using an IR light to illuminate subjects in low-light conditions, and it can double as a deterrent to chase people and animals away using a small motion-activated LED spotlight and a siren."
The Wyze Solar Cam Pan is a battery-powered, solar-charged 2K security camera with 360-degree pan and 70-degree tilt. Priced at $79.98, it undercuts several competitors. A high-efficiency solar panel can keep the camera running with just an hour of sunlight per day, though official battery-only runtime and impact of heavy movement use are unspecified. The camera supports remote control via a mobile app, AI person detection with automatic tracking, IR night recording, a motion-activated LED spotlight and siren deterrents, two-way audio, and integrations with Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT. Local microSD storage up to 512GB and optional cloud plans are available.
