New usage for Wyze Cam

I needed to run wire down a wall from the attic and it was just me. No one could help me. So I set up my Wyze Camera so I could see where I needed the wire to come out. While I was in the attic on my stomach pushing the wire through the Wyze app I saw the wire at the bottom hole. When I came down from my attic, I could pull the wire through.

It saved me from going back and forth!

Welcome to the community @dschtx!

Interesting story. I have purchased a couple of “endoscope” style cameras for similar projects that never really worked out for me. Glad you were able to find an additional helpful application for the Wyze camera.

Good use!
I’ve used mine similarly when I need a second set of eyes to see when a light turned off while flipping circuit breakers that aren’t labeled detailed enough.

That is nice, I can use for that also

I’m happy to see others are finding smart ways to to use their cameras. I have used mine in similar ways. I have an extra camera I named FLOATER. When ever I need an extra set of eyes or extra security it comes off the shelf. I typically use it to watch my tools or the open garage door when I’m working outside and take a break.

Same here. I use it to watch the drain being flushed on my AC unit from inside the house. I named mine Rover.

I find endoscope cameras are handy when working in a vehicle’s engine bay in tight spots.

Luckily, I don’t work in tight spots. :thinking:

I believe it was the Pontiac Fiero where you had to pull the engine to reach some of the spark plugs.

I shake my head at the design team of a vehicle every time I have to get out my endoscope.

Back to the topic of this thread. I use one v3 camera just to make sure my garage door is closed.

With or without a camera in my garage, my neighbor across my street is good about closing my garage door if I am not home.
