A POPULAR smart camera brand has launched its first “panning” double-camera for your porch.
The Ring rival promises to scan for intruders and even follow them to protect your property.

And the new Wyze Duo Cam Pan even has a built-in siren to scare off would-be trespassers.
Most home cameras come with a single snapper that gives a general view of your front garden.
But this new model has two cameras that allow for a special kind of monitoring.
“One stays fixed on your priority view while the other pans and tilts to track motion,” Wyze explains.

The idea is that the second camera can move to follow motion, eliminating any potential blindspots.
It serves up video in 2K HD resolution, and there’s colour night vision too.
Wyze says this “unveils stunning details in low-light conditions that even the human eye can’t catch”.
And if you want, you can set the camera up to trigger two motion-activated spotlights when motion is detected.
These LED lights can even be accompanied by an automatic voice alert if you like.
There’s even the option to activate a loud 100dB siren that can scare off an intruder.
The moving camera can rotate a full 360 degrees so it can pan to any angle.
And it can also tilt up and down at 180 degrees, so it shouldn’t miss anything in line of sight from your door.
You can even set up a virtual “patrol route” with four waypoints for panning. So it almost works like a security guard.
Of course, the camera isn’t just for scaring away intruders.

You can use it to speak to guests – or call your kids in for dinner from the front garden.
A subscription will let you back up your video to the cloud.
But you can also continuously record to a microSD card (up to 512GB) on a 24/7 basis with no subscription.
Wyze says that this would be equivalent to “days” of local recording footage.
