Pan Cam V4 Disappointment

There aren’t, at least not if you’re talking about regular (non-Pan) Cam v3 and regular (non-Pan) Cam v4. I happened to post this to another topic earlier today, so maybe it will help here:

Model Power Adapter
Duo Cam Pan[1] 5V ⎓ 1.5A
Cam Pan v4[2], Cam Pan v3[3] 5V ⎓ 2A
Cam v4[4], Cam v3[5], Cam OG[6] 5V ⎓ 1A

That’s a good idea. I know a lot of users tend to just swap out Cams and/or cables when replacing one Wyze Cam with another and just continue using existing power adapters, but this doesn’t always work out well (as the table should illustrate). I tend to swap everything and use the power adapter that came with a specific Cam, especially while that device is still under warranty. If I do remove a power adapter and/or cable to use something else for power (Lamp Socket, longer third-party USB cable), then that’s when I label things so that I know which Cam they were originally delivered with, just in case there’s a problem and I have to go back to that equipment for troubleshooting.

Thank you for taking the time to report back on this! :+1:
