Add button to live stream display to easily switch between night vision modes (like all other cams types) without having to go into Advanced Settings. Cam v3 example:
[Mod Edit]: Title, tags and request text modified to enhance search clarity.
A workaround is to go into the Timelapse screen, a night vision toggle is available in there for whatever reason.
Still 1 too many clicks, but better than going through settings
NOTE: the OG cam doesn’t have this

The new pan cam v3 is great but needs a simple interface change that the other cams have. The new toggle for infrared Illuminator on/off/auto is no longer available at the camera view level and can only be accessed deep into advanced settings. Add this back at the same level as the V3 cams’ interface. Thanks.

Bring back the NV Status \ Toggle button to the Live Stream UI! It was so useful to quickly toggle the cam to check for a better image.
It can be placed beside the cam name at the top like it is in the Timelapse UI for the V3Pro and the PanV3. At a minimum, just add it to the Toolbar. Just so it’s on the Live Stream UI.

I found this thread because I wanted to put this same thing on the wishlist. A brief search had it show up in other places too. How does this not have more than a few votes? Two of my older cams have the toggle on the livestream but my two new cams do not. It is frustrating to have to leave live view and go through two menus just to toggle it from auto/on/off. They took a very helpful feature that existed in the prior interface and buried it.

If I had noticed that before, it didn’t register in my brain, but I’m seeing it now (and it works) for Cam Pan v3, Cam v4, and Bulb Cam. Thanks for the tip! 
I don’t have any (non-Pan) Cam v3s, but I know that UI has changed recently, and even though some users have complained about the missing Night Vision Mode toggle, I imagine the move toward a more consistent UI (making the Cam v3 UI look more like newer Cams’ UIs and not the reverse) means that this topic’s likelihood of success is now lower.
Night Vision Mode Icon, Auto On Off
Please put the small icon for Night Vision Mode back. I have numerous Wyze cameras and half of them have a defective Auto feature. I used to just go to the icon and fix it. Now I have to go into settings, advanced settings and turn off the night vision mode and turn it back on, then go to the live view and hope it worked.

Are you saying some of your cameras do Not switch automatically and you have to toggle Night Vision on and off manually?
Yes, The icon made it easier and quicker!
Here are some tips to try to get Auto mode to work properly.

Its not about auto, Its about having an option to toggle it on and off. The option completely disappeared. Like why would they get rid of that? Extremely counter intuitive
If you do not like the most recent Wyze App version, on Android you can install an older APK file of the Wyze App.
Welcome to the Forum, @prentice1903! 
Are you possibly talking about Cam v3? They made some changes with recent updates in order to improve consistency across Cam UIs, and that has apparently moved the night vision mode toggle off the Live Stream screen. I don’t have any Cam v3s to check, but for other (newer) Wyze Cams you typically find the control at Settings ➜ Advanced Settings ➜ Night Vision Mode.
I’m not personally a fan of that and wish Night Vision Mode had its own section directly under Settings with a live view, just like Spotlight Settings does (for Cam v4 and Cam Pan v4, anyway) so that users can change the settings and immediately see their effects without navigating all the way back to the Live Stream screen. That gets tedious pretty quickly and seems unnecessary.
Feel free to visit that first topic I linked above and share your comments about the toggle. I’m sure you’re not alone with that. The initial post in that topic also includes a link to a survey where Wyze is soliciting more feedback about the UI changes.

I have kept my v3 firmware up to date. Currently on 4.36.14.3497 but have stayed on App version 2.50 and have never noticed a Toggle Night Vision on and off button. Just the Advanced Settings has an area to turn it on or off.
I wonder if the OP moved to a slightly older 3.xx version of the App if this feature would be there?
Yes, and I now have to go toSettings ➜ Advanced Settings ➜ Night Vision Mode. What a hassle and sometime I need to do it several times, because it doesn’t always work as should!! It would be extra great if the night vision mode worke as it should!

I really have no idea, because I’ve never owned any Cam v3s, so I have zero hands-on experience with its old UI, and my understanding of the Wyze app’s UI is that at least some of it is server based, because I’ve seen elements within the app change even when there hasn’t been an app version update (like in Google Play Store). I believe Cam v3’s UI used to have a live view pane overlay control that allowed users to flip between night vision modes while watching the actual stream change, and that seems like a really cool convenience feature, but at some point that overlay space can get pretty crowded with controls and become less user friendly. That’s one reason I’d really like to see some kind of live preview available to users when changing Night Vision Mode options within Settings.
This is why it needs a preview. Users should be able to see the immediate effects of their chosen settings when making changes to things like Night Vision Mode and Spotlight Settings. If it was my decision, I’d probably just try putting them both within the same Settings section of the app so that users could make those kinds of lighting control changes all in the same place and have the same live view available to show the immediate consequences of those changes.

NV Mode for v3 is on a fixed bar over the live stream in app version 2.50.x. The setting for NV Mode is also (redundant) in Advanced Settings under 2.50.x. NV Mode setting icon is similarly located for other older cam models under 2.50.x. App version 3.x simply removed the live steam icon along with other visual changes in the name of uniformity with other newer cams models.

I knew I’d seen screenshots where it was up there somewhere. I didn’t remember that it was above the live view pane. Thanks for the clarification.

Yep, same for Cam v2 and a few others, but v2 and others still have the NV Mode icon under app v3.x. Looks like for older cam models, they changed only Cam v3 to match the new UI.

That’s the impression I’ve gotten from reading posts here. My oldest model is Cam Pan v3, so I’ve never used the “old” UI.
