Eufy Security Indoor Cam 2K



The new Wyze Cam v3 took an already reliable, budget-priced camera and squeezed in even better tech without raising the price. Widened field-of-view, IP65 water protection, separate indoor and outdoor IR sensors, and a new color night vision mode with an improved camera sensor are just some of the improvements.
