The new functionality is only available on the second-gen version of the Wyze Cam and the slightly pricier Wyze Cam Pan, but once you’ve updated the Alexa app, you’ll be able to use Amazon’s voice assistant to view live feeds with your Echo device on connected Echo Show, Echo Spot, and Fire TV devices, just like you can with Amazon’s own Cloud Cam (which costs $120, but is still The Verge’s top pick for the best indoor security camera.)
Still, if you’re looking to put together a home security setup on the cheap, it’s tough to beat the Wyze Cam’s price.
