INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Wyze Cam has long been a strong contender for the best deal in connected home security
I haven&t actually tried the thing out, but Greg was &surprisingly impressed& with his hands-on time with the 1080p camera
That probably enough in and of itself to justify the $20 price tag
Now the dirt-cheap camera getting some added features, courtesy of a software update
Starting today, owners of the Wyze Cam v2 and the $30 Wyze Cam Pan will be able to use Alexa to summon live video feeds on the Echo Show,
Spot and through the Fire TV Stick (using the voice-enabled remote)
Sorry, no luck for those who picked up the first-gen device
Hope that $20 camera is working out for you, otherwise.
The feature is available this week as a free update to the Alexa app
Wyze joins Ring, Arlo, Nest and Canary, along with Amazon own security cameras, of course
But if nothing else, its option is certainly the cheapest of the bunch
One of these and an Echo Spot will set you back $150 — not too shabby for an on-the-fly home security system
