A word of warning about the new Wyze Cam OG, which I just got. There are 2 issues with the mount/stand that seriously compromise functionality versus the Cam v3 or Cam v2. First, the Cam OG stand is pretty useless. It only has 2 axes of adjustability. So you can move the head up/down but not sid…

Between the goofy mount, the convoluted way to review motion alert videos, shameless Cam + up selling, washed out colors, bug where a 2nd linked camera throws an Error 90 code if you try to access it from the home page but no problem accessing it from another OG camera where it has been linked to….s…

[image] davidmac27: convoluted way to review motion alert videos Can you elaborate on this? It has seemed to be better to me since there are 3 options now instead of just 1: I can still view events in the events tab just like every other camera (so it’s just as good as viewing events compar…

The problem is the interface is inconsistent. The main problem is if you go into the Events page from the Home Screen and select an OG camera, sometimes the event shows the motion object but a lot of times it does not. Would like to see Wyze work on this. But then there is just a Play button. If …

Approved the Wishlist for this. :slight_smile: [image] Mount Adapter for Cam OG Maybe Later The Cam OG uses a nonstandard #8/32 screw mount for the camera stand. The v2/v3 cams use an industry standard 1/4"-20 screw mount, allowing you to use literally thousands of diff…

[image] carverofchoice: I can view the most recent events from the live stream page, and even filter to only see the events I want (ie: person detections or whatever other limits) Do you mean the live view after clicking into the camera? how do you do that? is it just OG feature? i don’t se…

[image] something: Do you mean the live view after clicking into the camera? Yes, on the V3 Pro, Pan V3, or OG. The newer cams have this, the older models don’t yet have this new interface, but Wyze has indicated that if people like it then they will consider updating the rest of the cams to …

My wishlist request for a mount converter has been approved. Please vote for it if you want to use other mounts with the OG! https://forums.wyze.com/t/mount-adapter-for-cam-og/256347

Or, you know, just fix the thing after this first production run. I don’t see how a non-standard thread helps anyone or saves any money. It’s like using a proprietary power or audio connector in 2023.

Or, you know, just fix the thing after this first production run. I don’t see how a non-standard thread helps anyone or saves any money. It’s like using a proprietary power or audio connector in 2023. This! I was a bit shocked to see that it wasn’t a standard 1/4"-20 mount. The supplied stand is …

I agree, I was disappointed with the stand. Here is an alternative I might try using, it says only Cam V3, but I think the OG Cam will fit: PEF Mount for All-New Wyze Cam V3 ONLY, Weatherproof Protective Cover and 360 Degree Adjustable Wall Mount Solid Housing for Wyze V3 Outdoor Indoor Smart Home…
