• The new Wyze Descriptive Alerts use AI to text you detailed summaries of on-camera activity.
• The feature is only available on the Cam Unlimited Pro plan, which is $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year.
• The plan also includes features like AI Video Search, letting you find specific parts of the footage with a text search.

Having cameras as part of your smart home setup is great, but the dream would be to have someone else watching them and letting you know when anything of note happens. Wyze’s new feature is the next best thing, with AI working out what’s happening on camera and then texting you a Descriptive Alert.

While this isn’t a brand-new innovation in the market, the Wyze Descriptive Alerts in the promotional video below are impressive. Instead of a vague indication such as “motion detected,” the new alerts can give much more detail about who or what is there and even describe the subsequent action. An example of this is an alert that “a dog steals a package off the front porch and runs away.”
