Looking for smaller camera for wildlife, etc

Cameras

I like the Outdoor camera with the battery, but find it is too big for birdhouses, etc. I need the battery (and solar panel) since I have no electricity where I need to place some of them. Is there a camera where the battery is not attached? Or can we remove some of the bulky exterior housing?

Welcome to the Wyze User Community Forum @quentinhendry! :man_raising_hand:

The only battery operated Cam option from Wyze is the Wyze Cam Outdoor. All others require constant power from the plug-in power adapter. Wyze also does not offer any type of external battery bank to power their plug-in cams.

I bought a solar powered battery bank, but it cannot charge fast enough for the V3, so now I have the Wyze solar panel to help charge it. I just wish it was smaller inside the birdhouse, since birds can be picky about the size of the home.

The V3 is about as small as it gets.

I would also consider mounting that battery pack with the female ports pointing downward so that water doesn’t pool on it and slip inside there.
