Outdoor cam 1 replace?

I have a 1st generation Wyze



Outdoor camera, that’s connected wirelessly. Its video quality has degraded, and it’s not the lens cleanliness. Is there a recommendation for a direct replacement? It’s on a magnetic mount, on a window ledge above our front door. I have a photo of the camera location, and a screenshot of the video quality. Thank you.

WYZE doesn’t have any more WCO version one or version two cams. Maybe you could find one from a different vendor like Amazon or something but I don’t think they are worth the price now. WYZE does have a battery cam pro but it cost about $90.OO.
If your really need a battery powered cam you should look for a different company, something like this below. If at all possible you should find a way to get power to that area and just buy a WYZE V3 or OG camera.

Different company to think about if you really need a battery cam.

@KarlWS, I don’t have any personal experience with Battery Cam Pro or Cam v3, but I like Cam OG and Cam v4, and I definitely agree with the suggestion to provide wired power if possible, but that’s because I don’t like changing :low_battery::battery:.

I also don’t have personal experience with the Tapo camera model that @Antonius mentioned, but I’ve been impressed with the Tapo C120’s capabilities, particularly the features included (no subscriptions required for detection of persons, pets, vehicles, for instance) at its price, but it’s also a wired (power) camera.

Our electrician determined there’s no cost-effective and/or aesthetically-pleasing way to get power to the area; block walls, etc. I ordered the Battery Cam Pro, today. I’ll have to figure out how best to mount it into/on the stucco. Is there any potential use for the “leftover” Wyze wi-fi base station, that’s connected to our router via an ethernet connection? Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated.

The only use for the base would be if you deleted from your account while it is still connected to the router and on-line you could give or sell it to another WYZE member in need of a base. Both the camera and the base should be deleted from your account while they are still on-line, camera FIRST.
