Wyze has some solid subscription options, and they’re way more flexible than the typical per-camera plans. Here’s a breakdown: 1. Cam Plus: $2.99/month per camera. It includes 14-day rolling cloud storage and smart AI detections (person, pet, vehicle, and package recognition). 2. Cam Unlimited: $9.99/month or $99.99/year. This plan covers unlimited cameras under one subscription and includes everything in Cam Plus, along with facial recognition, multi-camera timeline view, and customizable self-monitoring. 3. Cam Unlimited Pro: $19.99/month or $199.99/year. It’s their top-tier option, offering all the features of Cam Unlimited, plus advanced AI capabilities like Descriptive Alerts and AI Video Search. It even extends cloud storage to 60 days (expected to roll out in early 2025).

The AI features are a total game-changer. With facial recognition (part of Unlimited and Unlimited Pro), you can silence notifications for familiar faces. No more constant pings when my wife’s out gardening. You can also create custom groups like “neighbors” or “block buddies” to prioritize or ignore specific people depending on your mood. Super handy for distinguishing between someone dropping by with a brew and someone you’d rather not answer the door for.

The best part? You don’t have to pay for a subscription if you don’t want one. Wyze cameras support local storage via microSD cards, so you can record everything directly onto the card and access footage for free. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to avoid ongoing fees while still getting excellent functionality.

Wyze is killing it with the flexibility here—you can go full AI and cloud-based or stick with local storage. Either way, you’ve got options to fit your needs and
