Wyze, a company dedicated to making smart home technology accessible and safe, today announced the Wyze Solar Cam, launching as part of Wyze Week. It’s a 2K outdoor camera with a 5200mAh battery and a solar panel in the box, so it keeps itself topped off without electrical wiring or battery swaps.

The compact 1.77W panel needs just one hour of direct sunlight a day to keep the battery charged under regular use. Mount them together on one bracket, or place the panel up to 10 feet away where the sun actually hits. The camera streams 2K video with Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) to the Wyze app, with no mandatory monthly subscription.

For customers who don’t need solar charging, Wyze is also offering the standalone camera available without the Solar Panel for $59.98.

“People love wire-free cameras for the easy setup, but nobody likes climbing a ladder every few months just to take the camera down and charge it,” said Alex Niu, Senior Director of Product Management at Wyze. “With the Solar Cam, an hour of sun a day keeps it going year-round. Put the panel right on the bracket or run it up to 10 feet away into the light, and you get reliable 2K security with no electrical wiring and no subscription fee.”

Key Features

  • Solar Power, Zero Maintenance: The included 1.77W panel keeps the 5200mAh battery charged with one hour of direct sunlight a day. Use the extension cord to place it up to 10 feet from the camera, past rooflines and trees.

  • Five-Minute Setup: Pair over Bluetooth, slide and click the camera onto its bracket, and you’re finished. No outlets needed.

  • 2K, Day or Night: 2304 x 1296 video with a 130° field of view, and WDR to balance bright skies and dark shadows in the same shot.

  • Color NIght Vision: A starlight sensor allows the camera to see in full color in super low light, or infrared in total darkness.

  • Ready for the Outdoors: A 100-lumen motion spotlight and built-in siren light up the path and scare off unwanted visitors. IP65 weatherproofing handles temperatures from -4°F to 122°F.

  • Smarts and Storage Included: Motion detection with thumbnail runs on the camera for free, and Cam Plus adds optional pet, package, and vehicle alerts. With AC mode, Record 24/7 to a microSD card up to 256GB (sold separately) or save event clips to the cloud with Cam Plus. Wi-Fi 6 router support keeps live streams quick to load.

  • Local recording to a microSD card: Rolling storage to a microSD card (sold separately) saves months of motion events without needing a subscription.

Wyze Week runs October 19-23 with three new launches rolling out. Follow along at https://www.wyze.com/pages/wyze-week.
