Wyze Launches New 4K Smart Camera That Can Track Pets

Home security just got sharper — and smarter. Wyze has unveiled its first-ever 4K pan-and-tilt security camera, the Wyze Cam Pan v4, which sells for just $60 and comes with AI-powered tracking to follow people, vehicles, and even pets.

According to The Verge, the Cam Pan v4 offers full 360-degree panning and 180-degree tilt, giving users complete room coverage with fewer devices. Its new object-recognition AI means the camera can intelligently distinguish between motion types, so you’ll know whether that late-night movement is your dog, a delivery van, or something more suspicious.

Wyze has also added color night vision, a built-in siren, and a motion-activated spotlight, helping households feel more secure around the clock. Rated IP65, the device is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, resisting dust and rain. On-device storage is also a highlight — the camera supports MicroSDXC cards up to 512GB for continuous local recording, reducing reliance on cloud storage and offering more privacy.

Connectivity is future-proof, too. With dual-band Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi 6 Support, the Cam Pan v4 works seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and Wyze Automations, making it a flexible addition to any smart home setup.

As security technology becomes more affordable and accessible, these innovations raise questions about balancing safety, privacy, and sustainability. Smart cameras can reduce the need for multiple devices and unnecessary energy use, but their production and e-waste impact remain concerns for the environment. Choosing durable devices with local storage can help minimize both data vulnerabilities and electronic waste.

At just $60, Wyze’s latest device is likely to appeal to budget-conscious households looking to upgrade their security without breaking the bank. For families who want to keep an eye on children, elderly relatives, or four-legged companions, this smart cam could be a practical choice that blends convenience with peace of mind.
