I’ve seen the question “Are Wyze Cameras wireless<\/em><\/strong>?” rise on some forums and I decided to give people a quick answer and explanation about this topic.<\/p>\n

\"Wyze<\/span><\/p>\n

The quick answer is, yes the <\/span>Wyze Cameras <\/span><\/a>are wireless and they don’t need cables to transmit the data, but still need a power cable.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, the Wyze Cam is not 100% free of cables. Let’s talk more about that…<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bWyze Cameras are wireless but not wire-free<\/span><\/h2>\n

Humm, perhaps you are wondering “what is the difference between wireless and wire-free cameras?” Let me explain…<\/span><\/p>\n

Wireless cameras are considered the ones that can transmit data such as audio, video without using wires or cables, but still have a power cable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wire-Free cameras are the ones that don’t use cables at all, they don’t need them for data (audio and video) neither a power cable. Cool, huh?<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> Reolink Argus PT<\/span><\/a> is an example of a Wire-Free camera that can be installed anywhere because it uses an internal battery to keep the camera working.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best Wi-Fi router for Wyze Cam<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first thing you need to know is that the Wyze cameras work with 2.4Ghz <\/strong>WiFi network and that’s the frequency you have to use in your router to be able to connect the cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n

Newer routers are dual-band, which means they can work with two frequencies (2.4HGZ and 5GHz) at the same time, but you can’t use both of them with your Wyze cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can buy a dual-band router such as the <\/span>NETGEAR C6300<\/span><\/a> which is compatible with most Internet Service Providers in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Wyze Cam uses encryption<\/span><\/a> to keep the data safe and you can use the <\/span>WPA\/WPA2<\/span><\/strong> protocol available in this WiFi router.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternative solutions<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you really want to have your camera without any wires, just consider buying a model such as the <\/span>Reolink Argus PT<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Blink XT2<\/span><\/a>, or the <\/span>Ring Stick<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you really want to have your camera without any wires, just consider buying a model such as the Reolink Argus PT, Blink XT2, or the Ring Stick.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested in such a solution, please read the article.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bAre Wyze Cam battery operated?<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that you know that the Wyze Cam is wireless <\/strong>but still need a power cable, you can decide if this camera is for you or you are going to use an alternative model.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that the solution using a power brick could be more complex and I recommend using a model that is already battery-powered.<\/span><\/p>\n
