This <em>Rear Window<\/em> approach to security means the camera doesn\u2019t need batteries, Wi-Fi range extenders, access to an exterior power outlet, or weatherproofing. The company already offers window mounts for its indoor security cameras, but the Wyze Window Cam is purpose-built for the task with infrared and LED lighting completely removed to reduce glare and reflections. It\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyze.com\/products\/wyze-window-cam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">available now from Wyze\u2019s online store<\/a> for $34.98.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Window Cam features a 1080P HD sensor paired with a lens offering a 101-degree horizontal field of view that\u2019s limited to 53.9 degrees vertically. It also features \u201cenhanced color night vision,\u201d according to Wyze, that takes advantage of a wide f\/1.0 aperture to capture color footage with minimal ambient light.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/wyze_window_cam_2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0.013089005235599,0,99.973821989529,100\" alt=\"A view from the inside of a window with the Wyze Window Cam attached.\" title=\"A view from the inside of a window with the Wyze Window Cam attached.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;The camera comes with a 10-foot microUSB cable, instead of USB-C.&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Wyze\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Wyze\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The included mount uses a large black bezel to minimize glare from indoor lighting. While the camera is attached using generic hook-and-loop fastener, the mount itself adheres to a window using an adhesive sticker. The sticker isn\u2019t designed to be reused(you\u2019ll actually need a hair dryer and a scraper to remove it), but Wyze includes two of them if you later decide to reposition the mount.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/wyze_window_cam_3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" alt=\"The Wyze Window Cam being attached to its adhesive window mount.\" title=\"The Wyze Window Cam being attached to its adhesive window mount.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;The camera attaches to the mount using hook-and-loop fastener so it can be easily detached, but the mount attaches to windows using a sticker that\u2019s not reusable.&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Wyze\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Wyze\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">A 10-foot long microUSB cable is included for connecting the Window Cam to power, but you\u2019ll need to provide your own microSD card, up to 512GB in capacity, if you opt for secure 24\/7 local recording. The camera does have a built-in microphone and speaker, but its two-way communication capabilities and ability to record audio of outside events will be less effective behind a window than with a security camera mounted outside your home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Window Cam offers motion detection alerts that can include AI-generated descriptions of what\u2019s seen if you subscribe to the company\u2019s $19.99\/month or $199.99\/year <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyze.com\/products\/cam-unlimited-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cam Unlimited Pro<\/a> service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You can also use the Window Cam with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyze.com\/pages\/service-plans#select-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wyze\u2019s cloud storage that\u2019s available through subscription plans<\/a> ranging in price from $2.99\/month to $19.99\/month, if you\u2019re comfortable with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/688864\/wyze-launches-verifiedview-protections-security-camera-footage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">company\u2019s recent efforts to improve its security practices<\/a>.
