Wyze is a cheap choice. It does not have most features that a high quality system has. Trade price for quality & performance.
Wyze also has a bed reputation for lousy wifi connectivity. People are constantly complaining about how things drop offline. Wyze blames customer's network, yet everything else works fine. The loudest complaints are about their cameras because those are most obvious.
