Cam Pan V3 Low Speaker Volume

[agerholm]

We recently purchased 2 Wyze Cam Pan V3 cameras and both seem to work well - with the exception of the camera’s speaker. Both cameras pick up sound and the volume in the phone app is great. But if someone tries to speak through the phone app to the cameras, the volume in both cameras is too low to hear. My phone is a Samsun A53, and it works fine with all other devices. But with the Cam Pan V3 you literally have to be standing right next to the camera, and even then the volume to too low to make out what they are saying. I have seen posts dealing with this issue going back several years, but haven’t seen any solutions yet. Since these are advertised as having “two way audio” is there any chance that a firmware update will one day add a volume control? If not, has anyone done a hardware hack, perhaps adding an earphone jack for an external speaker and/or amplifier? (They are both indoor cameras so weather-proofing is not an issue). I like everything about these cameras except they do not function as advertised.
