Ever Trend Zone New feature launched as part of the Cam Unlimited Pro plan
Wyze, maker of affordable smart security cameras, now has a premium plan that costs more than its actual cameras… but there’s a nifty new feature on board that’ll make us sit up and take notice.
The new Descriptive Alerts service offers AI notifications “that accurately summarize motion events taking place in front of a Wyze Cam.”
Wyze tells us this means you’ll receive text notifications that provide important details and contextual information.
Ring, Nest and Aqara already have a service similar to this but, looking at the examples given in the intro video, it’s much deeper than anything we’ve seen before, including detailed descriptions of types of people, animals, colors, vehicles, objects and even types of food from a delivery person.
The new Wyze Cam Unlimited plan, unlike the brand’s cameras, certainly isn’t cheap at $19.99 monthly/$199.99 annually but, in addition to the new Wyze Intelligence descriptive alerts, it also includes a search tool of AI videos and will soon provide 60 days of cloud. storage, which will launch in the spring.
Wyze has plenty of cheap smart security cameras on sale (as well as other smart home tech), the most recent of which is the Wyze Cam v4 which launched in March of last year.
Taking many of the features from the third-generation Wyze security camera, and also the Wyze Cam Plus and Battery Cam Pro, it added Wi-Fi 6 to the mix but still kept the price under $36.
However, keep in mind that Wyze has suffered a couple of high-profile security bugs in the recent past, although we’re sure everything is fine now.
