Why Review Geek Can't Recommend Wyze or eufy Cameras Anymore

December 3, 2022

I used to love Wyze cameras. And I adored eufy cameras. The two companies represented the best in the fields of affordable security cameras and cameras that don’t require the cloud. In many of our “best camera” lists, you’d find Wyze and eufy sprinkled throughout.

But as of now, we here at Review Geek are no longer recommending cameras from either company. I’m not saying you need to unplug Wyze and eufy cameras right this instant if you own them, although you maybe want to consider it for eufy. But we can’t trust the two companies enough to continue recommending Wyze and eufy cameras. Hit up the top story to find out why.

Other Highlights:

• Sarah tried out the WeGym Rally X3 Pro smart resistance bands and came away impressed.
• Tesla has a new ultra fast charging system. It’s Ultra. Fast.
• Hey, this leak for the next Galaxy Z Flip sounds pretty good.
• … and more!
