Wyze Battery Cam Pro security camera with 24/7 2K recording & radar

The Wyze Battery Cam Pro camera has now been unveiled on the back of much hype about the device. The new Wyze security camera offers a day-long continuous recording of 2K videos. It also boasts of radar-powered motion detection and the battery is removable. The new Wyze camera comes with a refreshingly new look from the previous Wyze camera offering.

The Wyze Battery Cam Pro had been the subject of rumors for a while. It is Wyze’s first camera to record continuously using battery power. It however requires a microSD card and the battery lasts only for 24 hours. The versatility of the camera is however enhanced when it is wired for continuous coverage 24/7. This allows the device to deliver up to 24 hours of recording even when the power supply is down.

There are really few battery-powered cameras that offer such functionality. Wyze says that the product will launch without its weatherproof wired adapter, but this should also be released shortly.

The new Wyze Battery Cam Pro is a redesigned iteration of the Wyze Cam Outdoor V2 which was priced at $74 at launch. It comes with a complete redesign and offers 2K HDR video recording, as well as motion detection. It is noted that the radar-powered motion detection system is more accurate than a PIR sensor alone. Wyze is also offering a subscription service for alerts for people, pets, vehicles, and packages.

The Wyze Battery Cam Pro is equipped with a 150-lumen spotlight and an 80dB siren for enhanced security monitoring and alarm. The cam does not require connection to a hub and this results in up to 2 seconds lag while live streaming. The starlight sensor of the Battery Cam Pro provides color night vision. Furthermore, the cam has a 134-degree field of view, 14fps dual-band Wi-Fi, two-way communication, and an IP65 waterproof rating. The cam is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTL.

The Wyze Battery Cam Pro has a 6,200mAh removable battery that can last for six months on standby. Wyze is also launching a new battery charging dock that can charge two extra batteries. The camera also works with the Wyze Solar Panel. Continuous recording will require a microSD card with up to 256GB capacity. In order to enjoy the full features of the Battery Cam Pro, a raft of optional accessories are required.

The Battery Cam Pro is priced at $93.99 while the Wyze Cam Plus service costs $2.99 a month. The camera can be purchased directly from the Wyze website.
