Wyze Home Monitoring provides 24/7 protection for just $5 per month

By Patrick Hearn Published December 8, 2020

Over the past few months, Wyze has announced a slew of new offerings and services to better serve customers. Today, the company has officially entered the home security and monitoring space with the new Wyze Home Monitoring, a 24/7 professional monitoring service that costs only $5 per month.

Wyze Home Monitoring is powered by Noonlight. The service connects users to trained dispatchers in the event of an emergency and routes information to local 911 call centers so first responders receive the information they need. Wyze Home Monitoring also watches for other potential problems like water leaks and sudden swings in temperature.

Wyze has also launched new hardware to go along with the Wyze Home Monitoring service. The Wyze Sense v2 line includes new motion and entry sensors, a keypad for arming and disarming, and a hub to connect all of the devices together. The HMS hub includes a battery backup that allows it to continue functioning even in the event of a power outage.

The Wyze Home Monitoring system works in conjunction with Wyze’s $25 Wyze Home Camera. When an entry sensor or motion sensor is tripped, the Wyze Cams will automatically begin recording to monitor the situation. You can check in on your home at any time through the Wyze App to see what is happening inside your home.

The keypad allows you to arm and disarm your system, but you also have access from anywhere through the app. If a dog walker accidentally sets off your alarm, you can easily disarm it without giving out the code. The Wyze app will send a notification when motion is detected, as well as a daily summary of alerts to give you a brief overview of the activity in and around your home.

Wyze has built a reputation for producing quality products at an affordable price. As the company has expanded to include numerous security cameras, smart locks, video doorbells, and more, its influence in the home security sphere has grown. Now customers can build a whole-home security system at a fraction of the cost of higher-priced competitors.

The Wyze Home Monitoring service is available for pre-order beginning Tuesday, December 8, via Wyze’s website.

The best tech of IFA 2026: a repairable laptop, liquid-cooled power bank, AI toothbrush, and more

From an AI toothbrush to a liquid-cooled battery, this is the best tech of IFA 2026

Best Of IFA 2026

IFA Berlin brought innovation from across the globe into one giant exhibition, and we got the chance to experience the new-gen "tech" firsthand. Walking through Messe Berlin, we saw a laptop designed to be repaired at home to a power bank with visible liquid coolant, an AI-powered toothbrush with a camera inside your mouth, and a robot vacuum carrying another.

The variety is what makes IFA one of the best tech shows. IFA 2026 runs from September 4 through 8, and we've spent our time in Berlin chasing down the products that caught our eyes. Some of these are clever ideas that may change how we use tech every day, while others solve a problem that I didn't realize existed.

This wild new TV mount moves your screen without you touching it

TVs can already adjust their picture and sound without much help from you. Perlegear now wants the physical screen to adapt to you as well.

Indoors, Interior Design, Lamp

TVs have become incredibly smart over the years. They can automatically tweak picture quality, adjust sound for your room, and recommend what you should watch next. Yet once you bolt one to the wall, there’s one decidedly old-fashioned thing about it: it’s staying exactly where you put it.

Perlegear has an interesting solution at IFA 2026. The company is showing off the AX1 Smart Adaptive Mount, a motorized TV mount that detects where you’re watching from and automatically moves the television to a more comfortable height. It’s an idea that sounds a little excessive until you think about how many different ways we use TVs today. You might be sitting on the couch for a movie, standing up for a workout, playing a motion-controlled game, or have kids watching from the floor. The ideal screen position for one isn’t necessarily great for the others.

iRobot’s new Roomba concept uses a piggybacking sidekick to reach tight spaces

The Roomba Duo pairs a powerful floor washer with a smaller robot built to clean hard-to-reach spots.

Robot vacuums have long forced buyers to choose between cleaning power and clearance. Heavy-duty wet-dry models pack enough scrubbing force to tackle stubborn, sticky messes, but their bulky frames often can't squeeze under low furniture. Slim robot vacuums can glide beneath sofas and beds, but they typically lack the muscle to do much more than sweep up light dust. iRobot's new Roomba Duo concept, unveiled at IFA 2026 in Berlin, aims to solve this problem with an unconventional approach that involves deploying two specialized robots to work as a team.
