Wyze WYZEC3 Cam v3 with Color Night Vision

Hello! Our camera will capture one 12-second alert video every five minutes when motion or sound is detected. Using a microSD card with the ‘record on event’ or 'continuous recording' feature turned on will allow the camera to record the rest of the footage that the cloud video does not capture. We also have Cam Plus, which is an add-on service and upgrades the free 12-second motion recording already included with Wyze Cam. This upgrade will record motion and store the events to the cloud for as long as motion is detected and adds Person Detection. That means no 12-second limit and no cooldown period. The recordings are stored in the cloud for 14 days.

This camera becomes completely unusable unless you allow it to connect back to the cloud services. I thought I was purchasing a device that could record locally and be used without an internet connection, but it requires an internet connection to use the app to connect. Recording locally still works, but is useless without an app that can talk directly to the camera. I suppose you could rotate sd-cards, but it is incredibly difficult to eject the card.

Yes. By running an extension cord as far as possible and keeping the USB cable (from usb connector to charger/power supply/inverter) as short as possible the device will have more accurate and stable power available. The other answer given about using a long USB cable instead should not be implemented unless necessary. When running a longer USB cable instead, issues can develop from the voltage drop in the DC cable. There is a reason the world uses HV AC power.

I painted my V2 webcams. They hide very well on top of A/V equipment then. I just masked off all the critical parts and cut it very close to the shapes and spray painted the whole box.
