## Verdict

A coasting 2021 design still riding stale recommendations. Superseded by the v4 and carrying the worst security-stewardship record on this board.

## For

- Budget pricing
- Still recommended by TechRadar as a budget favorite

## Against

- 2021 design superseded by the Wyze Cam v4
- TechRadar's recommendation is stale
- 2023 breach exposed other customers' camera feeds
- Documented pattern of slow response to disclosed vulnerabilities

## Flagged as one to avoid

This product entered 2 of 5 runs as one buyers cross-shop but should not buy, rather than as a pick. It is published here rather than dropped.

## What this tier means

- F: Avoid. The evidence points you elsewhere.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
