This automation prevented us from running into the corner of our coffee table or overturning our shelf. The camera also supports people detection and will soon support vehicle, package, and animal detection, but you`ll need a Wyze Cam Plus subscription to access these features. For $1.99 per camera per month, Cam Plus gives you the above smart motion detection features in the form of a 14-day history of full videos as long as the motion lasts, with no charging time.
