Looking at the front of the camera, is the center the camera and the bottom the sensor? What is the top?

I knew there was no motion sensor at all (it just uses pixel change detect off the main camera sensor) but I thought for sure there was at least a photodiode to detect darkness / exposure - apparently not! This page says only the lens and mic are real:

The top “???” is the ambient light sensor. The bottom “Motion Sensor” is nothing… it’s fake.
@Seapup is that accurate? The claim above is that even the photo sensor disappeared by the time it went into production…
Yep… shine a bright flashlight into the top little dot. You can see the sensor inline through the clear plastic.
There are some good YouTube videos and blogs showing a teardown of everything.
Hmm, what I see - a copper ring - could easily just be the hole in the PCB that was originally intended for the non-existent sensor…
You may be correct on that. Let me grab a newer v2. I think the one that I’m looking at is 2 years old.
Pretty sure that as I move side to side I’m seeing both of the two solder points / holes. Here’s a photo from https://www.edn.com/wp-content/uploads/Wyze_cam_third_PCB_lens.jpg
Isn’t it funny - almost all of the V2 front is fake!

Hah. What’s also funny is all the accessory makers who ALSO don’t seem to have known they didn’t need to allocate additional cutouts for the cosmetic frippery.
