Wyze has the Cam Pan v3 for $34 (normally $40), and for a limited time black-friday deal if you buy using "Buy with Prime" checkout on their website, you get an extra 26% off. Bringing the total per camera down to $25

However the Wyze Cam v3 that you are referring to does have free Cam Plus Lite [wyze.com] support. (Basically free AI person detection). The Wyze Cam Pan v3 does not ergo it's debatable what is the better deal; I guess it depends on what your needs are. I would agree with you though that the V3 2 pack for $35 is the better bargain overall.
Incidentally, Tinycam Pro [amazon.com] supports LAN live view monitoring for most Wyze Cameras. This means you can make Wyze cameras into IP LAN cameras that don't need access to internet. (You will need internet access initially though to register/activate the cams via the Wyze app and Tinycam Pro)
Wyze Bridge [github.com] will also make these camera compatible with NVRs but my preferred method for live LAN viewing is using Tinycam on an old Firestick; works out well for me.
EDIT
I now realize that you were referring to V2 pan and not the V3 deal for $35 that has no pan or tilt ; my mistake and disregard all that crap lol. At least the Tinycam info could prove useful though...
The tracking is best thought of as a way to reposition the camera on the fly automatically for a target, and hope they don't move too fast/too much. Ideally an area that isn't too high traffic. When pointed outwards to my road the camera would constantly scan back and forth depending on sensitivity settings like a golden retriever (squirrel!) at anything that moved and hold for some time in last known position, taking the camera away momentarily from where I really need it to be watching.
YMMV, but IMO this is a niche security camera product. Amazing for price for the panning/tracking. Tons of features are hidden behind subscription paywall, be advised.
Also, that v2 price was last year, not right now. Currently the lowest I could find for v2 is around $40-43 each (outside of shady shops).

I purchased 2 sets of V3 cams from the Home Depot deal for $70 and they have been excellent. The cams work well velcro taped to the inside of windows and have superb night vision even through glass. (Just deactivate IR lights)
I 24 hour live view the V3s via Tinycam Pro on an old 1080p Firestick connected to a $20 used/Amazon Warehouse Cocar security monitor [amazon.com]. The setup has been working great for months now.
