Maybe a FaceBook post??? Biggggg user base
Can someone verify if that glass disk is present in V3s?
I’ve cleaned the class on my Wyze Pan Cam. I wonder if anybody has to clean it a second time. Does the problem recur
I don’t think I’ve had a reoccurrence and I did 4 V2 cameras. 2 of them still have the glass, but cleaned a year ago and 2 have the glass removed, but unfortunately, I don’t remember which is which. I didn’t do my Pan cam at all.
Many thanks to the people who have experimented and diagnosed the foggy image problem. That took time, knowledge, and skill!
I found this thread because one of the outdoor cameras(woc) I have has foggy areas and appears to have the problems discussed. I am posting and adding a picture to the thread because I didn’t see references to the woc and suspect the problem may also be in newer cameras and want to document that. Mine was ordered 6/30/20 as part of the started pkg with base hub and was activated 8/26/20. A second woc activated 11/08/20 hasn’t developed the fog problem- yet.
Overall, I have 4- v2’s going back several years, 2 new v3’s with only one activated, and 2 woc’s. Currently, only one camera shows the problem which is a good thing because I do not have the eye sight or skillset to dismantle and correct the issue with my camera as others have done.

Apologies that the photo is not uploaded. I am using iphone and will need to read about uploading actually photo and not a .png file name. Sigh…
If so it looks like the V3 will be much harder to open and repair. ![]()
Sadly, that situation does not seem to have been addressed by Wyze. I know how to disassemble V2’s and Pan cams but need instruction video for the V3’s and WCO
Following this thread… we have 10 where I work. All have some degree of “fog”. I just cleaned my first and now the picture is much clearer.
I also have 1 of 3 cams at home that has the fog that I will be cleaning next.
Thanks for the tips!
From all the posts regarding this issue, leaving the glass disk out seems to not have any negative effects.
I can disassemble the V2’s also but the V3’s might be disposable if there is no way to open them without destroying them.
I venture to say that exploring the disassembly of the V3 camera is something I want to do In the not too distant future
Keep us posted and a quick look me thinks you will need to squeeze it very hard in a vise. ![]()
I don’t believe anyone squeezed it really hard in a vise to get it together so hopefully I won’t have to do that to get it apart
Not sure, I just looked at it quickly and it looks like it’s molded together. ??
Will be interesting to find out but I’m not tearing into my V3. ![]()
Answers the question on how to open a V3! ![]()
Thanks
I’m glad I found this. Of the 6 CAMs I have deployed one of them is VERY FOGGY. I have not been brave enough to take it a part yet but plan too (since it was already replaced due to audio issues when I got it).
