@r.michalek ! You will need to use the cable that came with it and add an extension. A quality Male\Female USB-A Extension Cable will do the trick. Anything over 20ft may cause a power drop.
this camera is meant to be on ceiling or outdoors. the connection at the back is proprietary and so apparently is the cable power specs.
can you please offer an extension cable (20 ft,30 ft etc?)
Mod Note: This request has been satisfied by the extension cable and Pan v3 replacement cable that are now available.
So, I just received my new PanCam v3s, the cam itself is awesome so far, but!
The power cable comes with a molded 90 degree end that looks to be proprietary to the wyze cam.
This really needs to be an accessory that’s offered in longer lengths, the cable that comes with it is approximately 6 ft.
Just putting this out there for everyone to see. I already talked to customer service and they said that they would pass it on to the dev team.
My parents are in need of cameras. I was looking at the Pan Cam v3 for them. However where they need to mount the camera on the outside of the house is much further than 6’ from an outlet. For my cameras, I purchased a longer micro usb cable and was set. Given this camera uses an L shaped connector, it limits options. I contacted Wyze on how to extend the cable. I asked if a USB A female to USB A male cable would be suitable given the connection would be under a front porch and away from r…
TL;DR: From the cables I sampled, 16ft and below should work reliably for most V3 installations, with Pan Cams dropping into a gray region when their motors are used. 25ft or longer cables start dipping into the gray for V3 cameras and is dark gray for Pans. Pans are mostly in some level of trouble with ALL the tested cable lengths (you may see the camera reboot when you use the motors), especially if you additionally have an old Sense V1 Bridge plugged into an older V1 Pan Cam. [TL;DR /off]
