Maybe there is some padding, but I don’t remember shipping a package of any size through FedEx, USPS, or anything else for less than $8 in a longo timeo.
With most of my cameras I’ve managed to keep the power adapter inside, but that doesn’t always work so these are great.
However, it would have been very helpful for the kit to contain the same rubber sleeve used on the V3 power cord. While the length of the cords on the outdoor power adapter is nice, they are not always long enough and when an extension is required the rubber sleeve would be VERY helpful.
If you have any V3s in use indoors, you can borrow a sleeve from that one
For my outdoor extensions, I use heat shrink tubing without the sealer inside. The sealer makes it difficult to separate the connection if needed.
The cam V3 outdoor power adaptor is not available for purchase in Canada, and Wyze will not ship from their US site to Canada. So they market the cam V3 in the Canadian market as being outdoor compatible but don’t provide an outdoor-safe power adaptor. After contacting support numerous times, they still offer no option for the outdoor power adaptor or any assistance on where to purchase one that will safely work. This is deceptive product marketing and sounds like a fire-related lawsuit just waiting to happen.
I ordered a few of these on October 20th and they still haven’t been shipped! What gives? This is pretty ridiculous. I’ve contacted support two times and both times got zero information. Depending on what page I look at, they’re either “Shipped” (the tracking info goes nowhere) or “in packing” for the past four months. Either update the status to something real, or give me my money back.
That’s a long time. The adapters are in stock, so you should have had them by now. Do you have the ticket numbers of the calls you made to Wyze? When you say the calls got nowhere, can you give more specifics about where they went?
One of the ticket numbers was 1579962. I must have deleted the email for the second contact because I don’t have it anymore. Both times, I was basically told “Things are slow, please be patient” but I didn’t get any clarification about the conflicted order status. I don’t necessarily mind the delay, but at this point it feels like my order got forgotten about somehow, especially because they’re listed as “in stock” right now.
I made an attempt to escalate this. Hopefully you will get a resolution in the next few days.
