Cameras dead

Alright so, I know there’s the online support section of wyze but I wanted to get an opinion before I waste my time over there. I have a camera that has given me a hard time since day one… I didn’t rma it because of 3 reasons; 1- I had it working about 3 days after trying for hours each day
2- it’s been working ever since.
3- I’m in Canada and when I purchased these the Canadian store didn’t exist so it got them from ebay brand new.

Today it decided it was dead. So I unplug the camera and plug my spare in. As soon as I do this, it makes a weird noise and never turns on. This is when I notice that apparently, the power supply that came with the first camera is faulty and has probably killed the second one. I tried with a new power supply but honestly… The backup camera is now doing exactly what the first camera was doing at the beginning and I know the backup camera was fine before because it was installed for a few months but I decided to remove it.

Basically I’m wondering what you’s think I should do or if they will even bother to replace them. I have my doubts.

Did the second adapter you tried support 1500MA (1.5A) or more, I believe that is what the v3 wants. I’m guessing you used the supply that came with the second cam, but just checking.

It is definitely possible for an adapter that has started putting out too much voltage to fry the cams quickly. If you try with a known working power supply and cable (that support the minimum amps the camera needs) and it won’t work, they’re probably dead. If under a year, they’re covered by warranty, but honestly I’d probably just replace them with OGs or v4s (OGs are a bit cheaper but slightly different user interface). Both have much better video quality than the v3 from my experience. The v4 even mounts the same way as the v3.
