It appears some Wyze V3 camera are not doing well in wet winter weather and are building up some water inside. After taking the camera inside and waiting many days it is not clearing up. Hopefully this is a rare and unusual situation. Thankfully Wyze without hesitation has sent me a replacement c…

We have 3 in steamboat Colorado at the top of the sky lift and no issues there as well in Montana, I would do a warranty replacement at Wyze

Hi KAE4560, as I mentioned in my last post I already have had them replace the camera under warranty. I am trying to understand how common this type of occurrence is when you have your camera outside and exposed to the elements (rain and snow). So are yours exposed to receive direct rain or snow o…

We have V3 in steamboat Colorado, bigfork Montana and in the desert in California with no issues at all

Ok so I disassembled the camera that has a foggy picture. I now know what happened to mine and likely others that have had this issue. Water didn’t get inside the camera and the IP rating of the camera didn’t fail. The lens that no doubt Wyze is sourcing from someone else itself failed. The wate…

I had one that looked terrible and I was really upset. Then I realized I didn’t remove the film covering the lens.

Interesting, perhaps the adhesive is going over time / temp cycles which may mean a whole lot of issues down the road when used outdoors after some time. It is a Wyze quality issue though as they designed and qualified that part for their application.

It is not a wyze seal that failed. It is the lens itself that they are sourcing from a third party. I assume the third party said the lens are waterproof and they are not. The water is getting behind the front glass and getting inside the lens housing and not entering the camera itself. So the sol…

Seems semantics to me, water got in where it should not so they have an IP issue. Also if one of the 10,000 parts in my Toyota fails it is a Toyota problem, not that specific part vendor although Toyota can certainly go back to them for relief. If is up to Wyze to verify the parts they select meet…

Reefer I agree and Wyze didn’t blame the lens company they replaced the whole camera. I have seen Toyota continue to replace faulty parts with new faulty parts that also break. And finally when it is out of warranty it becomes the customers problem. That maybe the end result here… But hopefully my…

Half of my cameras directly exposed to the elements have the same issue. I suspect the IP rating does not hold up over time as they took a few months to develop the same issue as you. Days inside does not fix it.
