If you’ve been shopping for smart security cameras for your home, you know just how expensive they can be (we’re lookin’ at you, Nest Cam and Ring Stick Up Cam, which are $125 and $100, respectively, at Amazon). But don’t worry. This is not the only game in town.

You can snag a high-quality indoor smart security camera with unbeatable picture quality—and even live streaming—for a steal. In fact, many happy Amazon shoppers have done just that, making the Wyze HD Cam a top seller, with tens of thousands of rave reviews. A two-pack of the Wyze HD Cam is currently on sale for just $40—$20 per camera. Amazing.

And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

About Wyze HD Cams

These Wyze cameras give you everything you need to feel secure. They detect motion, so they can record whenever they sense activity. They have HD live streaming—a nice clear picture. They even have night vision, so if you hear a scary thump downstairs, you can check your feed and see that it was just the dog.

These cameras record video and audio on a microSD card (which can hold up to 32GB), and also save to the cloud—so your footage is always there should you need to check it.

“I was a Nest user, had purchased a few cams for me and did a full setup for my parents...,” says one of 21,900 Wyze fans. “While browsing for other options...since Nest is very expensive, I came across Wyze and it has changed the game for me. After installing it (by the way very simple and easy), I realized how good it was and ended up buying six more (I gave away some)—that’s how impressed I was...Cannot rave enough about this device!”Huh. We hadn’t even thought to give these away, but when you think about it, this little pair of Wyze cameras makes a great gift—and is priced right, at just $40.

More good news: these indoor smart-home cameras work with Alexa or Google Assistant for hands-free navigation and voice commands. They also have sharing features, which means more than one family member can access video recordings and a live stream.

“I bought this to monitor my chickens when I’m not home,” wrote a delighted five-star shopper. “....Honestly, I could watch these birds all day now that I have this camera. They are far more entertaining than work!! The quality is phenomenal for such an affordable camera.”
