*I have had the **Newest.Technology** system since they were initially released (over 2 years). I love the ease of use and they work well. Batteries last a long time too. I have added cameras as needed. I love the 2 way communication with this one.*

I replaced mine with a fisheye lens...the issue was the fisheye was too big to fit through the existing hole, and there's a PCB there, so you can really make it bigger. The surprisingly easy (albeit destructive solution) is to clip off all the plastic screw guide pegs so I could move the secondary board (the one with the hole) close enough to the sensor that I could screw the fisheye from the outside. Once done, I just connected all the leads back up, pushed all the innards back in the case and a little silicone around the lens (once focused) and around the outside bezel thing to get it water tight again. The way the innards SNAP into place, the screws are not really needed. Works great and I have a super wide FOV now.

Thanks for mentioning to make sure not to push the white hole covers into the hole. Kinda crucial but okay. For anyone stuck on that, use a paperclip and pry really hard to get them out

Were can i get that 8mm lens? Links? Also any different mic you recommend to swap ? The v3 mic sucks the v2 mic sound better

Exactly what I needed...thanks!

Thank you. I was able to swap the lens with a 6mm lens. Warning: remember to remove the SD card. I watched the video a week or so ago and forgot that step. Fortunately I only damaged the card and not the camera.

Excellent video. I've upgraded the lens on several v.2 cams, but have yet to do a v.3 model. So far, I've installed 8 mm, 16 mm, and 25 mm lenses. Love the telephoto aspect of the 16 and 25 mm lenses, but focusing is touchy. Now to do a v.3 :)

Thanks for posting this video. It was very helpful for swapping lenses. I seem to have skipped the part where you said to remove the micro SD. 😂 Just ordered a new one.

Excellent teardown video. I forgot to close my SD hatch and the cam is saturated. Gonna try and fix it for fun. Thanks for the video keep up the good work 👏

I really like the 2nd amendment mousepad. :D

Maybe the best tech video of this type I've seen, and I do watch and use a fair amount of them to do the process/procedures. The only thing I would like to have seen is a shot of the app when focusing the camera, but it's easy to imagine without; and, of course replacing the micro sd is personal choice :-)

The background music is soothing AF

Would you make a video on how to replace a microphone? The original mic has a lot of hardware and software issues. Software may be on Wyze, but hardware is possible to replace...Maybe some mic from Digikey?

I wish my old hands and eyes could still do that. Slightly different subject, but related to your video, Do you know if there are any metering sensors in the area around the lense, or is all of the light metering done TTL? I am going to paint one and don't need the Night Vision or IR. I am not willing to take it apart before I paint it to discover it.

Thanks for the video, I do appreciate the insight overall. However, I'm confused, at 5:31 you go through the effort to remove the lens mount from the upper PCB board (and exposing the CMOS/sensor in the process) but to remove the lens you just pulled it out? Is the lens glued into the hole in the lower board or not? If it isn't couldn't you just pull and lightly twist (wiggle) the whole board until the lens comes out of the hole? I cringe at thought of people exposing their CMOS sensor like that. (And always use an air bulb/squeezy like a Rocket Air to blow off exposed components, never rub!!!)

Thanks for the video! I tried replacing the stock lens with a 2.8-12mm lens an Amazon review said fit, and it did not fit. The mounting screw is the same size but there's no way to add the bigger lens since the diameter is larger than the hole in the plastic and PCB. But following this video I was able to take apart and put it back together just fine.

AYOOo you totally nailed it. They just released the OG Telefoto cam. Almost a clone of yours.

Can you show a before and after lens replacement? Want to see the quality. Also where to buy the lens?

Awesome. Thank You.

My three year old said he liked your choice of music.

Great disassembly video that can be very useful to me. I think my camera has shorted out or dead short. Do you know if there is a chip that can be changed if that happens or can I just throw the camera away? I await your response, thanks in advance.

Hello, my wyze cam3 got moisture/fog on the lens: do you know if that goes away after a while, or do I need to replace the lens?. Thank you ✌️

Any way to add a better antenna? I have a V3 in my detached shed and the wifi is poor there.

Where do I get replacement lens from?🧐

Is the microphone the same component as the speaker? Dual purpose?

Very good video and easy to understand. Where can I buy the new lens ?

Nice video. I am going to mount mine outside and it will get direct rain. I see there are vents or speaker grills or something on the rear, is it ok to leave them uncovered?

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing. Any idea on RTSP and convert to a IP cam

Very good video showing the process step by step. What was the purpose for replacing the lens?

Can anybody tell me what the two little red wires were on the lens assembly?

Where can I buy a new lenses? I have several wyze cam v3’s

Can some do that to my camera. Because. I am renting a room and I could suddenly after I return from my trip. Noticing my.camera not picking up images and I hear like my door opening . Whenever I check my camera. I am using the landlords wifi I think he always bug my room.

Do you have a comparison video between the stock lens and the new one?

The lens focus adjustment wasn't clear because he didn't show what distance it was adjusted for.

Do you know the focal length of the V3 lens? I replaced my V2 stock 2.8mm lens with a 10mm lens. The FOV for the V2 is 110° vs the V3 of 130°. I prefer the narrow FOV of the V2 and would like to put the spare V2 2.8mm lens in my V3 if it reduces the FOV to 110°.

Is the music necessary? I find it quite frustrating

Neat. What is the new lens part number or link to purchase please?

I cannot see any images buy hear sounds

Will this work on the v4 as well?

Can you still do the initial cam set up reading the QR code with the new lens?

My camera was find before i left for my trip

Its like they're using a blocking stopping connection on my camera

I pushed white covers inside the hole😢 Any idea how to get them out?

Step 5. Drop your new lens assembly three (3) times. 8:05

At 5:18, couldn't you just skip removing the center two screws that attach the sensor to the board and just pull out the board and then unscrew the lense from the sensor part?

what is the benefit of the new lens?

There's no need to expose the sensor to unscrew the lens, I don't need to switch lens right now but If ever I was to give it a go, I'd start by twisting the lens straight from the front, even if it mean destroying the glass in front. Actually I might epoxy the lens onto something a way to grip it. Don't waste 40min to reduce risk of breaking a 30$ camera.

Anyone interested in doing this modification for me for a price of ??
