Right.

Wyze was formed by ex-Amazon folks (Yun Zhang, Elana Fishman, and Dave Crosby). They import Xiaomi cameras and put their own software on them.

MIL living alone is getting to the point where cameras would be helpful. We have Wyze at home and I think a camera in her kitchen and living room would work.

Everyone here seems to like Google. FWIW, we have the Amazon Ring alarm and cameras and are happy with that setup.

FWIW, I use 6 Wyze's to monitor mom (age 91) and my disabled brother. They have motion detection, night vision and store the video for up to 2 weeks. Easy set up. Cheap: $25 for a stationary and ~$40 for one that can rotate so if one goes south it's not a big deal.

Saves me a TON of anguish and worry. Mostly I check in around 9PM to make sure they both made it safely to bed and that they both got out of bed in the AM.

I also have one at my house as a 'Critter Cam' to see if any coyotes, deer etc have wandered by overnight.
