How to cancel a Wyze subscription

Many Wyze products, including the new Wyze Cam Floodlight v2, provide you with local storage via a microSD card slot. This allows you to record footage without the need for a monthly subscription. However, signing up for a Wyze subscription gets you a bunch of useful bonuses — such as professional monitoring and smart alerts. But if you've decided you no longer need the extra features, you can cancel your plan at any time.

Here's a look at how to cancel your Wyze subscription through both the smartphone app and desktop website.

What Wyze subscriptions are available?

Wyze offers three different subscriptions — Cam Plus, Cam Protect, and Home Monitoring. Cam Plus is the entry-level option, costing $1.67 per month per camera or $10 per month for unlimited cameras. It provides you with 14 days of cloud storage, Wyze Web View, and an unlimited event video length (compared to still images for users without a plan).

Stepping up to the Cam Protect subscription gets you a few additional features, including Friendly Faces Facial recognition and 24/7 professional monitoring. This service costs $3.99 per month per camera; unlike Cam Plus, there is no option to pay for unlimited cameras.

The final service offered by Wyze is Home Monitoring, which costs $10 per month. This service is designed for use with multiple Wyze products and is an alternative to other home security systems like ADT. Along with professional monitoring, it allows you to detect water leaks with water sensors, whether windows are open or closed, and even changes in temperature and humidity. There's also a battery backup feature to help keep you covered during power outages.

SimpliSafe is now using AI to prevent burglars from entering your home

SimpliSafe rolled out the Smart Alarm Indoor Camera in 2023, which coupled AI technology with live monitoring to better protect the inside of your home. The company is now looking to expand those features to outdoor cameras, with Live Guard Outdoor Protection rolling out to early access users before seeing a full-scale launch later this year.

Live Guard Outdoor Protection works much like the Smart Alarm Indoor Camera does, though it's been modified to work outside. When your system is armed, cameras equipped with Live Guard Outdoor Protection will use AI to identify threats on your property. If AI finds something suspicious, the event will be escalated to SimpliSafe's professional monitoring team, who can then intervene via two-way audio to let the intruder know they're being filmed. They can also trigger a siren or request police dispatch.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.
