Wyze Battery Video Doorbell
About this product
The Wyze Battery Video Doorbell is a video doorbell that can run on its built-in rechargeable battery or be wired to existing doorbell wiring. It is meant for renters and homeowners who want a clear head-to-toe view of their doorstep at a modest cost, and who are happy to manage it through a phone app. As a wireless video doorbell, it avoids the need for existing wiring.
How much does the Wyze Battery Video Doorbell cost?
When we last checked in October 2026, the Wyze Battery Video Doorbell was typically selling for about $50 – $80 in the US. That is an approximate range, not a quote: the retailer changes prices often, and colour, size or storage options can move it up or down.

Key features

What we like
- A tall, square view that shows both the visitor and anything left on the doorstep.
- The choice of battery or hardwired power.
- A battery rated by Wyze for up to six months of normal use.
- Flexibility to move it later, which suits renters.
What to consider
- The battery is built in, so the whole unit comes off the wall to recharge unless you hardwire it.
- Battery life drops quickly at busy doors or in cold weather.
- Person, package and vehicle detection and cloud video history require a Wyze Cam Plus plan after any trial.
- An indoor chime is not necessarily included.
Who should buy it
The Wyze Battery Video Doorbell is a good fit for anyone without doorbell wiring, or for people who want the flexibility to move it later. The tall field of view is particularly useful for monitoring deliveries. It also suits households already using the Wyze app for other devices.
Buyers who want smart detection and stored video without a monthly fee should look closely at what is included before choosing it. If your front door is very busy and you cannot hardwire, frequent recharging may become a chore, and a wired doorbell could be the better option.
How it compares
The Wyze Battery Video Doorbell sits in the lower-cost tier of video doorbells. Wired-only doorbells respond quickly and never need charging, but they depend on existing wiring. Premium battery doorbells add higher resolution, removable batteries or wider smart home integration at a higher cost. Doorbells from small, lesser-known brands can be cheaper still, though app support is less certain. As general guidance, most video doorbells reserve some features for a paid plan, so compare the ongoing cost as well as the hardware.
What to check before you buy
- Chime: Wyze sells a wireless chime separately, and a separate controller is needed to ring an existing mechanical chime. Check what your listing bundles.
- Subscription: check the current Wyze documentation for what is recorded without a plan.
- Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz only, and a strong signal at the front door matters.
- Wiring: if hardwiring, confirm your transformer voltage is within the supported range.
- Box contents: mounting plates and accessories can vary by listing.
