The lens in Wyze’s new $40 indoor camera retracts for privacy

Wyze has released a new $40 indoor security camera that features a retractable lens for privacy and 2K video resolution. The device includes AI-powered motion tracking and night vision capabilities, positioning it as an affordable option for home monitoring.
Why it matters
The inclusion of a physical privacy shutter in a budget-friendly device addresses growing consumer concerns regarding smart home surveillance and data privacy.
Wyze announced a new pan-and-tilt security camera today designed for indoor use. The entire Indoor Cam Pan can rotate 360 degrees, while the camera and lens on its front can tilt up and down 103 degrees. When you want privacy, the lens can tilt down until it completely disappears inside the Indoor Cam Pan’s body so it’s unable to see anything happening in your home.
