SEATTLE—Wyze, a home security technology company, has announced the launch of the Wyze Battery Video Doorbell. Designed for easy setup for front porch security, this new device offers a wire-free installation option with up to six months of battery life. The doorbell’s 150-degree x 150-degree viewing angle and 1536 x 1536 HD+ resolution capture a complete 1:1 view, ensuring users can see visitors from head-to-toe and clearly spot packages placed right against the door.
“We designed the Wyze Battery Video Doorbell to solve the two biggest pain points for customers: complex wiring and porch blind spots,” said Dave Crosby, co-founder and chief marketing officer at Wyze. “The combination of wire-free setup and our unique head-to-toe 1:1 view makes upgrading your home security a seamless and affordable decision.”
This new doorbell addition combines wire-free battery power and 150-degree x 150-degree full porch visibility, with the addition of local MicroSD storage for 24/7 recording when hardwired.
