Arlo, Nest, Blink, and Ring take note: Wyze, a company that makes some of the best home security cameras under $50, now has an outdoor model

The battery-powered Wyze Cam Outdoor boasts a 1080p camera, both local and cloud storage, and costs just $50 At this price, it would be an ideal outdoor camera for security-conscious individuals on a tight budget

The Wyze Cam Outdoor is available today (June 23) at Wyzecom The camera and base station bundle is $4999 [Additional cameras are $3999 each, and up to four cameras can be paired to a single base station

The Wyze Cam Outdoor measures 28 x 23 x 23 inches and, like the company's indoor cameras, looks like a small white cube However, this model is IP65 rated, so it is rain and dust resistant [Wyze Cam Outdoor communicates with a base station, which is connected to the home's Wi-Fi network By doing so, Wyze Cam Outdoor saves battery life The company estimates that the camera can last three to six months without needing recharging

The camera's battery is not replaceable and must be charged via a micro USB port In contrast, the Blink XT2 runs on two replaceable AA batteries and can last up to two years, according to the company

Like the indoor camera, the Wyze Cam Outdoor has a microSD card slot (supporting up to 32 GB of storage), and the base station also has a 32 GB card slot But - and this is where Wyze's cameras are a real bargain - the company also offers 14 days of rolling cloud storage for free Clips are limited to 12 seconds, however

While Blink cameras have no local storage (an update to the base station is planned that will allow USB drives to be attached), the company offers up to 120 minutes of free video storage, with videos up to 60 seconds in length

In addition, Wyze Cam Outdoor has an offline travel mode, so owners can take the camera on vacation and use it to monitor hotel rooms, take videos in outdoor nature, etc
