What the differences mean

Tracking dual lens

The Eufy Cam S4 pairs a fixed wide lens with a pan-tilt zoom lens that pans 355 degrees, tilts 70 degrees and follows people, pets or vehicles. The Wyze Cam v4 is fixed, so following anything means repositioning the camera.

Resolution

The Eufy Cam S4 records 4K, double the detail of the Wyze Cam v4's 2K. Zooming into a recording to identify someone is far easier on the Eufy.

Storage

The Eufy Cam S4 ships with 32GB built in and can expand to a microSD card or a HomeBase with no mandatory subscription. The Wyze Cam v4 takes a microSD card you supply and pushes its cloud clips and AI alerts behind Cam Plus.

Power

The Eufy Cam S4 runs on a rechargeable battery with solar charging, and can be hardwired for 24/7 recording. The Wyze Cam v4 plugs into an outlet and never needs a recharge but needs power at the spot.

Privacy zone

The Eufy Cam S4 offers a privacy zone to mask part of the frame, which the Wyze Cam v4 does not.

Which one to buy if

  • you want one camera to watch a large area and follow what moves

    The Eufy Cam S4's tracking zoom lens follows people, pets and vehicles while the wide lens holds the scene.

  • you want the sharpest video of the pair

    It records 4K, a clear step above the Wyze Cam v4's 2K.

  • there is no outlet and you want solar power

    The Eufy Cam S4 charges from its own solar panel and can also be hardwired for continuous recording.

  • you want the lowest price for a capable camera

    The Wyze Cam v4 costs a fraction of the Eufy Cam S4 and still records free to a microSD card.

  • you want a simple fixed camera with the most alert types

    The Wyze Cam v4 covers a wider set of detections and adds HDR.

What owners say

Owners of both cameras praise motion detection that tags people and pets accurately, and both groups record locally rather than paying a mandatory fee. Eufy Cam S4 owners make the dual-lens system the centrepiece: the fixed wide lens holds the scene while the second zooms and follows movement, which they call the best coverage in Eufy's line, and they love the sharp 4K image, the solar charging and the subscription-free storage. Their repeated complaints are 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi that struggles in congested homes, inconsistent vehicle detection on long driveways, and an app they find heavy and slow. Wyze Cam v4 owners instead highlight the HDR image, vibrant color night vision, the motion spotlight and free microSD recording, while noting smart alerts need Cam Plus.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
