TL;DR

• Wyze’s new Battery Video Doorbell offers 150-degree x 150-degree HD+ video and up to six months of battery life.
• It supports both wired and wireless setups, local microSD recording when wired, and integrations with Alexa and Google Assistant.
• Priced at $65.98, it’s far cheaper than Google’s $179.99 Nest Doorbell while competing on many fronts.

Wyze has added another smart home device to its growing lineup, this time with a budget-friendly option for the front door. The new Wyze Battery Video Doorbell is now available for $65.98, offering flexible installation, a wide 150-degree x 150-degree view, and up to six months of battery life between charges.

According to Wyze, the doorbell can be installed wire-free or hardwired for continuous power. When wired, it also unlocks 24/7 local recording to a microSD card, which is something Google’s latest Nest Doorbell doesn’t offer. The 1:1 HD+ video feed captures visitors from head to toe, with AI-powered alerts for people, packages, and vehicles via Wyze’s optional Cam Plus subscription.
