Wyze Battery Video Doorbell

Overview

The Wyze Battery Video Doorbell is a wire-free or wired 1536x1536 HD+ doorbell camera built around a 150 by 150 degree lens for a head-to-toe view of visitors and packages, with no subscription needed to store video locally.

Wyze's pitch here is less about chasing top resolution and more about removing the recurring cost: local storage on a microSD card avoids any monthly fee, while a paid Cam Plus plan is optional rather than required for basic use. The square-ish 1:1 aspect ratio is aimed specifically at seeing a full person and any package on the ground, not just a face.

• 1536x1536 HD+ with 150x150 degree view
• Color night vision via starlight sensor
• Wire-free or hardwired power options
• No subscription required for local storage

Who it's for

Good for a budget-conscious buyer who wants full head-to-toe framing and does not want a monthly bill attached to a doorbell. Less suited to someone who wants 4K sharpness or built-in AI alerts without adding a card or a paid plan.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 150 by 150 degree lens is oriented to capture a visitor from head to toe and any package left against the door, rather than the wider-but-flatter view typical of other doorbells. It runs on a built-in USB-C rechargeable battery good for roughly six months, or on continuous hardwired power, and the starlight sensor is built to pull usable color out of low light rather than dropping straight to black and white. Local recording needs a microSD card in FAT32 or exFAT format, added separately, and chime sound requires one of Wyze's own chime accessories, also sold separately.
