Wyze Cam OG
~C$19
The Wyze Cam OG is one of the most affordable smart cameras available in Canada, delivering 1080p video with colour night vision, two-way audio, and motion detection for under $20 CAD. It features a built-in spotlight and siren for deterrence, and supports microSD card recording for local storage. Wyze Cam Plus subscription unlocks person detection and 14-day cloud storage, but basic features work without it. A no-brainer for budget-conscious smart home builders.
