If there is anything I learned after the first time I left Henning, it was that I wanted the ability to check on him whenever I wanted. I was crazy nervous about leaving him in the first place, so I wanted constant pictures/videos/texts with updates about him to help ease my mind and sometimes waiting an hour for my nanny to get back to me felt like an eternity. Thats why, when we were preparing to leave Henning again for Sun Valley, I decided to put two additional cameras in my home. I wanted the option to see what Henning was up too at any given time during the day without having to bug my nanny 24/7. With that being said, I didn’t want to invest in some crazy expensive camera either because I knew we would likely take it down once we got home. Enter in the Wyze camera. It is $25 on Amazon and amazing. The video is clear, I can hear and speak through the microphone, and it is incredibly easy to set up. I was so impressed with the first one, I immediately bought another one for Henning’s nursery.
Below are some of the additional features the camera + app offers:
- Live stream from anywhere in full HD – Live streaming lets you see inside your home from anywhere in real time using your cell phone.
- Motion/Sound Recording with Free Cloud Storage – Wyze Cam can automatically record a 12-second video clip when motion or sound is detected and saves that video to the cloud for 14-days, for free. Push notifications can also be enabled so you’re only alerted when something is detected letting you stay on top of things without having to constantly monitor the app.
- See in the dark – Night vision lets you see in absolute darkness using 4 infrared LEDs.
- Voice Control – Use two-way audio to speak through the Wyze app
- Shareable – One Wyze Cam can be shared with multiple family members so everyone can have access to its live stream and video recordings. Just have your family members download the Wyze app and invite them to your account. Camera sharing can also be easily removed. I shared access with my husband so he could easily check in on Henning too!
- Last but not least, it comes with a metal mounting plate and adhesive tape so you can easily mount the camera wherever you want!
If you are needing or wanting an inexpensive camera for your home, I can’t recommend this one enough. Happy snooping! 😉 xx B
