I am in the USA and would like to buy 2 Wyze Cam 3 for front and back dash cams. Is there any setup instructions for using them in a car?

Some users have had success with this, but keep in mind you need a stable power source and a WiFi connection. If the WiFi goes out, the cam can continue to record on the SD card, but if the cam starts up without WiFi, it will fail and not record.

Wyze Cam 3 is massively better image quality than any dash cam. It would be great to see a Dash-Cam version with software that lets the camera just save to the sd card while driving, then allow App access through WiFi when I get back home. That would be huge because most Dash cams are poor quality …

Been using a V3 as a dashcam in my pickup for several years. Saved me a lot of hassle earlier this year when a guy ran a red light and hit me. Camera clearly showed that I had the green. I have the cameras plugged into cigarette lighter to quad USB adapter. The adapter is plugged into a power ou…

[image] Wyze DashCam Maybe Later Any plans for a Wyze dash cam? I feel like Wyze could do it better for less money than the likes of Anker and Aukey. Vote on this wishlist to let Wyze know you want it!

[image] K6CCC: The adapter is plugged into a power outlet that is always on. This one of the important things, when I was testing one out as a dash cam I found that starting my car caused a momentary cut in power to the cigarette lighter long enough to reboot the cam. My truck has a secondary…

I too wish they would do a camera that we could use for a dash cam. What I want is them to do their usual paradigm shift thinking. You know, like they did with GDO Controller. The often rewrite the play book on a device, giving it features and operations that other manufacturers don’t think of. …

Stick with a cam that’s meant to be used as a dash cam. You can get a 1080p or 2k dash cam for a few more dollars than a v3. Most have a viewer so you can show the video right after an incident. Helped my brother get out of a ticket when the guy that hit him lied and the officer had to guess on who…

I do as @K6CCC does except I don’t have always on power. Not a big deal since when I start the car at home, it connects to the home WiFi and starts recording to the uSD. When not at home, I use my phone as a hotspot which uses the same SSID and password as the one at home so the Wyze cam sees it and…

There are way better cameras than a Wyze V3 for dash cam purposes, for just over $100. If that’s too much for you to spend then you don’t have any real interests to protect, and the cops will laugh at you if you try showing them footage from a V3 :smile:
