Which to choose

  • If the monthly fee is the deciding factor, Wyze is cheaper to own over three years by about $220 for four cameras.
  • Both record locally. Keep a hub or NVR indoors if you worry about a thief taking the camera and its card.
  • Match the app you already use: Wyze lists Alexa and Google Home; eufy lists Alexa and Google Home.
