Can this Camera be installed with Union Cam security monitoring software? I think I need the IP hard coded with custom port; will this camera allow for this?

@BostonPower 11 ай бұрын

You showed that the camera will go back to a preset position after you manipulate its position but will it also go back to a preset position after it has track somebody on its own without you being involved?

With the wyze cam pan v3, you can set waypoints where it will auto rotate to every few seconds... Then you go into detection settings and set the detection zone on whichever waypoint it is showing at the time. Once you set a detection zone, the camera will default to that waypoint as it's "home" view.

Great Vid, (I have a ? below) I remember u, from sometime ago with the mysterious mr. tinker. ( Never kno when he'd show up ) 😉 My question is, My new Wyze pan cam V3 (I luv it) Well it, makes 2 creaking noises, almost every full circuit (4 way pts). The Wyze forum suggested, a "Bench Test", of the Pan Cam V3 ? I have no idea how, do you ? Thx.

@TechYourLife1 9 ай бұрын

I don't actually! I think if it's creaking though I'd be talking with Wyze's support team immediately. Sounds like it could be failing on you.

@@TechYourLife1 The Wasserstein Solar Panel does have a battery in them. It works for the Wyze outdoor V3 that has no battery in the camera like this Pan V3. I will have to try it and see if the amperage is good for this Cam Pan V3. Thank you for your response and your review is very helpful.

Got the camera myself and my only complaint is the panning feature can't have it's speed adjusted. While you can control the speed when you direct where it goes, the auto pan feature is a default speed that's a bit too fast. Is this adjustable or will it be patched later on? Still a good camera but that feature would make it so much better.

That takes a different motor, I think. So I think it won’t get changed on this version!

I bought one of these cams on Jan. 27, 2024 for my daughter. It says has night color vision. Her cam stays in black and white. We turned on the IR setting and still in black and white. We reset it and still does not show color night vision. Any suggestions? Thank you for the video very informative.

@TechYourLife1 4 ай бұрын

Color Night Vision does require a little bit of light to work. Basically, the camera recreates colors when it can tell what the colors should be. Add a small night light to the space and you might find things better

Can this camera be set stationary? Where it only focuses on an item? I had two of them outside of my apartment because of my car being vandalized. An Apartment manager told me I can't have it there and recording people. Only if it is on my car. Can I do this?

How is it at accounting for events when it is is pan/scan mode? I am thinking the cams motion would cause issues with motion based event detection.

I haven't tested that thoroughly Brian, so I can't really tell you. I do imagine that hinders detection and might even block it during that time

Is the AI built into the camera or is the AI on the wyze server side? I plan to stick this on the dashboard of my car so it won't be connected to the internet. Just wondering if all of these fancy things will still work if I have cam plus set up but no internet while my car is away from my garage
