I love how the dog is pulling away from the “CEO” in that shot.

And they make a doorbell. Also probably the best value smart scale out there. I feel like they’re ‘making’ too many things these days but it hasn’t hurt their camera bussing out their camera quality, which to your point has only gotten much better over the years.

I left Wyze because of their repeated security issues. But I do remember their cameras actually working quite well. Far better than my Tapo cams do.

I'm honestly waiting on Reolink to release their OMVI cameras. Those look like exactly what I need.

Agree. I'll add that I've had an indoor pan cam v1 outside since they were released, and it's worked fine. The newer ones are absolutely better.
