WYZE Video Doorbell with Chime
Verdict
The Wyze Video Doorbell with Chime delivers sharp video, useful pre-roll, and strong value thanks to its included chime and inexpensive Cam Plus subscription, but it is held back by a narrow field of view, unreliable two-way audio, and several software quirks. It is best for budget-conscious buyers with simple door placements who can live with cloud-only storage and are willing to wait on firmware improvements, rather than for critical front-door coverage.
