Wyze Cam v4

Verdict
The Cam v4 is a general security camera that Babylist lists as its affordable Wi-Fi option: high-definition video, two-way talk and motion alerts through the Wyze app for near $36, a fraction of dedicated monitor pricing.
It is not a baby monitor: no parent screen, no lullaby or temperature features, and cloud clips plus smart alerts need Cam Plus at $2.99 a month. A Wi-Fi outage ends the view entirely.
What we liked
- Near $36 price
- Colour night vision
- Two-way talk in the app
What we didn't like
- Not a dedicated baby monitor
- Smart alerts need a paid plan
- No view without Wi-Fi
