Well, there is no current PoE for the cameras, and some who have tried to convert have had issues. However it is a wishlist item with a lot of votes, so you may still want to install the infrastructure?
Would love to see future iterations of the cam support POE. This would be very beneficial for outdoor cams where the WiFi signal must go through exterior walls and deal with potentially much further distances. Also, would make replacing current camera systems (which often have POE) with Wyze Cams in the future. And obviously, makes it less complicated to use ethernet over WiFi.
I am having a problem with 5 WyzeCam v2s that I purchased, installed, and had fail within a few months. All 5 cameras are dead; I get no sound or indicator lights when when plugged in via micro USB, during the factory reset process, or manual firmware load.
The 5 cameras were mounted to a drop ceiling and worked fine for months using PoE for power. I used this PoE injector and these PoE splitters .
All cat5 runs were new cables.
Video on the cameras’ cards showed they all failed at the same ti…

My existing Zmodo system had me run a “simplified power over Ethernet” cable to each camera — as many of you know this sends data and power to the main control unit for the Zmodo system. The wires are seemingly unique — Ethernet on one end, and mi…
