Nice video. I just installed one of these. What is needed is a bushing for the USB cable hole. You can find coax bushings at about any hardware store but they are too narrow. That industry needs to catch up. Also be aware that the screws for the cover base are soft metal and easily stripped. Better to replace them with a harder metal screw as I did. The little camera is excellent and better than any of my $100+ ones. I like being able to turn off the IR and let the street light do the job at night. Keeps pesky spiders away.

I bought a different case for outdoors but yours looks better than the one I used.

If the cable would have gone to a hole above the mount rather than below the mount, the water would not have been able to run down the cable and into the wall. Having the cable first go down from the camera them back up and into a hole above the camera is called creating a "drip loop".

I’ve had these cams ever since they have come out. They are awesome. I use them for my store. We’ve even caught thief’s. They are great. I’ve even caught a squirrel wreaking havoc on our store. But I live in the Adirondack and I had it out side and it has not failed. Without this case. So that case would help. But they are pretty good outside

Reading through the comments, I thought I'd add a quick idea that works.... You can hook these up to those portable USB power bricks, usually used for charging cell phones. Depending on the size & output, you can get different time frames for recording. This works great if you want to put it in a far location that doesn't have a power outlet nearby. Just need to make sure that you have wifi access, but this usually isn't an issue. I've done this a couple times and it works great for ultra portable recordings. Great channel, keep up the good work.

I'm excited to say these cams are awesome. How well the life span is we shall see. But I am extremely happy. I have a small business and some one recently tried to break in while the pc was down for maintenance. But didn't get in. But I have one on that door and wish I caught them bc they actually got in the pizza joint down the st. But anyways its a great cam. It gives u 1000 dollar system quality. I'm gonna be doing the whole store in them. I'm sick of dealing with systems. This makes it so much easier. Its easy to use. The cloud plus as and u can record on the phone or device is just wild. The features are endless lol. I say let the bastard break in and steal everything lol. If its not over live stream i have the ad card. If they steal it I have the feed from my devices. Its on point with all the notifies. Love it

I've been playing with one of these cameras and using the DaFang hack to run it into my BlueIris setup. I like aspects of these cameras, but I'm not 100% on board yet.

I am impressed by this video and the price. To make it weather resistant simply apply plumbers putty to the perimeter of the case before screwing it around the camera and After the power cord is plugged in fill the void. Plumbers putty is waterproof and it remains pliable for a very long time so that you can get the case and the wiring back apart if necessary. Easy Peezy and cheap.

As of February 2020, the Wyze site says cloud storage after 14 day trial is $1.49 per month per camera. The microSD card can be set for motion detection or continuous; WYZE recommends 32Gb with FAT32 formatting, giving about a few days of camera set to HD or about a week of set to SD. If your WiFi or network cannot handle the bandwidth it can will automatically throttle down to 360 from SD. They state some users have used larger than 32Gb but you need to know what you are doing if you are going outside their recommendations. You don’t have to use their cloud to use the microSD card. Pretty cool.

They are actually a $20 camera, $25 with shipping on their site. Amazon sells them with prime for $25, so it's the same price as buying directly from Wyze. However, you get a lower shipping price from Wyze, when you add more cameras in your order. So then it becomes less expensive direct from Wyze. Also, don't use the included 3M adhesive because you'll have a hard time removing if you needed to. Instead use 3M command strips.

I would use dielectric grease instead.

Wow, nice cam. I couldn't pick apart any small details either. The date and time format is correct. Is it sharp enough for street number plates though?

@DoItYourselfDad 4 жыл бұрын

KZfaq compresses video, that being said I can make out license plates if they are well lit in the street, but the resolution suffers in low light and when things are moving quickly.

Where did you get that cover ?

Just glue a little piece of clear plastic on the inside of that housing, and ring the screw closures with a bead of silicone. Waterproofed!

Great video! I would like to use an outdoor outlet 6 feet beneath where I can place the Wyze Cam. Any idea if Wyze Cam's USB power plug will tolerate that type of connection? Thanks!

@DoItYourselfDad 5 жыл бұрын

You’ll probably need a longer cord, and you’ll want to do a drip loop in the cord but the length shouldn’t be a problem, I’m running a longer length of usb cable on one of my cams now.

I'm sorry if this if a dumb question but I thought Wyze markets these as wireless? There's still a cord

I live in townhouse in which we have to pay a HOA. We can't change how the outside looks therefore using screws to fixate the WyzeCam is no-no. How would you install the camera without screws? Which products would you recommend? Thanks.

You could use double sided 3m tape and secure it to a glass window. The tape can be removed with a razor and glass cleaner.

I don't have internet from a home router/ computer, would this work directly from my Android/T Mobile phone. And if I'm at work would I still be able to connect to camera? This is a great video though!!

Will the Wyze Sensor bridge fit with this case? Also, what about daisy chaining cameras with these cases?

@DoItYourselfDad 4 жыл бұрын

The sensor fits fine, if you want to daisy chain you’ll have to open up the hole in the back a little bit.

I didn't need to, if you have wifi issues I've heard good things about google mesh.

With this housing is there room enough to daisy chain another camera? It looks like the back may block it. Could you confirm if another cable can fit I the back opening?

@DoItYourselfDad 5 жыл бұрын

These housings don't have the opening to daisy chain, these ones do: amzn.to/2DmdW29 but they leave the back a little bit more exposed to the elements.

Do you have cameras mounted outdoors in places where the power source is not as convenient? We could pretty easily mount one on our garage the same way you have done here (though we have vinyl siding to contend with). But to put one on our porch (pointed at our front door), we can't simply drill a hole into the house to plug it in. I'm trying to figure out our other options...

You missed the drip loop on the wire from cam into the house, a small dip in the cord prevents moisture from running into the house or against the hole & siding! Shalom!
