Focusing camera

[UncleP]

Long story short. I ran into a replacement camera lens for wyze cameras that can replace the 110° lens (currently installed on either v1 or v2) with a 170° lens.

Nice option… Reading some of the reviews, a post mentioned that he can adjust the focus a bit by easily twisting the lense until he was happy.

Which brings me to my original question…lol
I have a camera that’s approximately 100 ft away from a spare garage. Is it possible to adjust the field of vision where I can narrowly focus on that garage so that I don’t
have to manually zoom in when I view a video playback/live stream. I find when I zoom in it gets quite blurry.

Do you recall what tag words they used so I can locate the topic or post. Thank you very much.

Zoom lens to read license plates (daytime)

First time poster here, I just want to thank everyone for their insights on the forum! It’s rather easy to do a mod on a Wyze camera to enable it to zoom in and actually read license plates of vehicles crossing in front of it. Some neighbors had criminal events happen, and discovered the most important part of the video that would help law enforcement was the identity of the vehicle, not necessarily just a color/make/model. But, the wide angle lenses on most consumer grade hardware makes iden…
