Wyze’s newest pan and tilt cam can track your pets in 4K

Smart home tech provider Wyze is launching its first 4K security camera. The Wyze Cam Pan v4 is available today for $60, featuring color night vision, pan and tilt capabilities, and on-device AI-powered object tracking that captures people, pets, and vehicles.

Users can control the camera remotely via the Wyze app for full-room coverage, with the 360-degree pan and 180-degree tilt features aiming to reduce the number of security cameras required to monitor homes. It’s suitable for interior and exterior use, with the IP65 rating making it resistant to both dust and water. It also comes with a new motion-activated spotlight and a built-in siren for bolstering security, and “upgraded” two-way audio compared to the previous model, according to Wyze.

It supports both 2.4 and 5GHz networks, Wi-Fi 6 for connectivity over greater distances, and works with smart home integrations provided by Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and Wyze Automations. MicroSDXC cards up to 512GB can be used to continuously record to local storage. The Cam Pan v4 release follows Wyze’s efforts to restore trust in its camera products after several years of users being impacted by security vulnerabilities.
