Can I use the same power plug on a Wyze Cam v2 with the newer Wyze Cam v3?

I’d like to update two of my v2 cameras, however, I currently have my v2 cameras mounted externally using a third party housing kit, where I ran the cabling through my soffit and into my attic.

I’m looking to avoid re-running new cabling through my attic. It would be much easier if I was able to simply disconnect my v2 cameras, and replace them with v3 cameras by using the same USB power cable.

It looks as if the v3 has a more circular connection. I know the v3 is rated as exterior use, but I may buy a new housing for it as well. So, I don’t care so much if the v2 cable is a perfect fit for the more circular connection, I just need to know if it is the same plug type which I believe is a micro USB, correct?

Is it the stock V2 cable? Yes, the V3 can use the same power plug and USB cable. But if you used a longer, third-party USB cable for the old V2, there is a chance it might not deliver enough power due to voltage drop. I had to change to a better cable for the replacement V3.

Thank you both. It is the stock v2 cable.
