Wyze Floodlight Camera v2
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Reolink 5MP PoE Security Camera offers reliable wired surveillance with 5MP resolution and 100ft IR night vision. Its fixed lens and lack of wireless connectivity are trade-offs for its simplicity and durability. It is best suited for DIY installations where Ethernet cabling is feasible.
The Wyze Floodlight Camera v2 is a hardwired outdoor security camera offering 2K HD video, bright floodlights, and subscription-free local storage. It suffers from inconsistent PIR motion detection and limited WiFi connectivity options. It is best suited for budget-conscious homeowners who value local storage and smart-assistant integration.
