Can anyone tell me the minimum focusing distance on the new wide-angle OG out of the box( i.e. without modifications)? Would it be suitable for use in a birdhouse ?
I can look tonight if no one else answers first

I appreciate that.
Minimum focus distance really should be part of the Wyze technical spec. Most photographic cameras/lens include it as part of the description.

Alright, it looks like around 5inches from the lense is where it gets pretty clear, anything closer starts to get blurry, but even 1 inch away is not too blurry, definitely able to see what’s going on.
This is for the standard OG

Sounds like a good option for a “birdhouse cam”. Certainly worth checking out further.
Many thanks!

Works great in a birdhouse. I agree with the 5 inch limit.

I am using the wyze OG to watch a hummingbird nest. turns out 5 inches is a little too close for the default fixed focus. however i was able to pop the cover and unscrew and adjust the focus. you have to chip away a bit of super glue that fixes the focus, but the camera module in the OG is definitely designed for manual focus pretty much down to an inch from the lens
