Wyze Cam v3

The problem

If you want a camera on the crate and another on the back door and a third in the kitchen, the cost adds up fast with premium pet cameras. The Wyze Cam v3 is cheap enough that buying three is still less than one Furbo. That makes it the practical choice when coverage across multiple rooms matters more than pet-specific features like treat tossing. Anyone who wants a single camera with full-room coverage should look at a pan-tilt model instead.

What tends to help

The Wyze Cam v3 delivers 1080p video with colour night vision — a feature most budget cameras lack. It is small enough to tuck on a shelf, mount to a wall, or sit on a windowsill. Motion and sound detection send alerts to your phone. The camera works indoors and in sheltered outdoor positions (it is rated IP65), so pointing one at a garden door is viable. App setup takes a few minutes per camera.

A straight answer: Many features including person detection and extended cloud clips require Wyze Cam Plus — a separate subscription. Wyze has also faced criticism over privacy policy changes. Read the current terms carefully if that matters to you.

Common questions

Is Wyze good for pet monitoring?

It is a general security camera with motion alerts - no treat toss, but fine for crate and room checks.
