Wyze unleashes its first 4K camera with Cam Pan v4

Wyze was an early player in the budget home security camera game, but it's been slow to adopt 4K video resolution--until now, anyway. Available starting today, the Wyze Cam Pan v4 marks the manufacturer's first 4K security cam, following in the footsteps of TP-Link's Tapo and other home security brands that have already gone the 4K route. Landing just two weeks after Wyze's dual-lens Duo Cam Pan (which packs a pair of 2K cameras), the Wyze Cam Pan v4 carries over most of the features of its predecessor, the Cam Pan v3 from 2023. Among those features are 180-degree tilt coverage and 360-degree panning, along with IP65-rated weather protection, meaning it's dust-tight and resistant to low-pressure water jets sprayed from any angle. Compatible with Alexa and Google Home (but not Apple Home), the Cam Pan v4 also offers color night vision, two-way audio (albeit with an "improved" speaker and microphone this time around), and a privacy mode that points the camera lens straight down.
