A few of my cameras came with this silicon outdoor plug sleeve. It has an edge inside that only allows the plug to do in so far on one side of it. I’ve never been able to figure out which plug goes into which side, the male or female plug. Does anyone know?
It also can be a pain trying to get the two cables plugged in with this sleeve on because micro USB only connects one way. Always disliked this type of connector. Wyze needs to go with USB C.
Anyway you’d think this sleeve would have the edge in the middle because the male and female plugs are about the same lengths.
Notice the shape of that ridge inside the sleeve. The sleeve is made to orient only one way in relation to the micro USB connection shape. You can install it backwards and upside down, but it will be more difficult to connect the cable and won’t seal well. Slide the deep end of the sleeve over the pigtail connector protruding out of the v3 (or whatever model you have with a pigtail) and make sure the shape of that interior ridge is oriented the same as the female end of the pigtail. Slide the sleeve over the plug until the plug butts up against the inside wall of the ridge. You should now have about 1/4" space between the open end of connector and end of sleeve. Plug the USB cable into the pigtail and slide the sleeve away from the cam/pigtail until the sleeve is centered over the connection.
