Wyze, the low-cost leader in the smart home, just got more costly.

The company is increasing the price of its monthly security camera subscription fee Cam Plus from $1.99 to $2.99, citing high credit card fees, cloud storage costs, and investing in AI as reasons (it’s all about AI nowadays, amirite?).

Even with the big increase, Wyze still offers one of the most affordable monthly options for cloud-stored video recordings, with Ring starting at $4 a month, Arlo at $5, and Google Nest at $6.
