Wyze announced a new pan-and-tilt security camera today designed for indoor use. The entire Indoor Cam Pan can rotate 360 degrees, while the camera and lens on its front can tilt up and down 103 degrees. When you want privacy, the lens can tilt down until it completely disappears inside the Indoor Cam Pan’s body so it’s unable to see anything happening in your home.
The Indoor Cam Pan is available starting today through Wyze’s online store for $39.98. That’s cheaper than Wyze’s $44.98 Cam Pan v3 that’s still available through the company’s website. That older camera can tilt up and down up to 180 degrees and has an IP65 water resistance rating so it can be used outdoors, but it can only record video at 1080p. The new Indoor Cam Pan captures video at a higher 2K resolution, but that’s a slight step down from the more expensive $59.98 Wyze Cam Pan v4 that does 4K.
