Never look at home security prices after taking a sip of water; You will probably spit it out. This Wyze Cam OG deal is a breath of fresh air in an industry that tends to have pretty expensive products, and at just $17 (still under $30, which is still pretty reasonable.) That’s an impressive 43% discount! It’s also a powerful little camera, which you can learn more about here, our Rick Broida checked it out and tested it.

Why is this a good deal?
Besides being a useful security camera with lots of nifty features, this is also the lowest price recorded for the Wyze Cam OG. With over 40% off, it’s hard to argue with this deal. You can get two for close to the price of one!
Why do I need this?
This camera not only provides a clear video feed at any time of the day, but can also be used indoors. And outdoor camera. That’s right – you can strap this little guy outside and have him watch over your garden, too. Outdoor cameras tend to carry higher price tags than indoor cameras due to waterproofing and some other technical reasons, but that’s not the case here.
It also comes with advanced features not expected in a budget camera, such as color night vision and spotlight. There’s also both cloud and local storage, and you can use both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to interact with the camera and view the video stream.
You can also talk through the camera. Sure, the speaker won’t give you a mind-blowing audio experience, but it’s more than enough to scream at Fido while he’s chewing on the carpet. The camera comes with a base, but if you want to position it higher you can also easily mount it on the wall with the included kit.
What the critics say
One customer confirmed what we all know: size trumps features. “I was amazed at how quick it was to set up this OG and how small it can have all these different features. I managed to get the black one and it looks very stylish.”
“Great!” said one succinct customer. “Great quality video. Easy to set up and set up. I have to pay a monthly fee for them to be useful. We have 3 cameras and pay $8.99 a month. But you start with a 14-day free trial.”
“The cameras are great. I have the version 3 camera and this one is just as good or better,” said one fan. “Don’t expect good technical service.”
