Hello, I have quite a few v3s and love them. I’d like to rig a v3 at the end of my driveway, however there is no way to realistically get power here. (Not interested in the the wyze wireless one). I’m thinking of a setup of solar panel + battery + v3. The v3 pulls 4 watts I believe. so that’s 4*2…

this looks cool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08THCNNCS/ref=syn_sd_onsite_desktop_207?pd_rd_w=Wh7dK&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFNUjBaOEU5SlVPRkUmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA1ODU1MDYxSlZHSkVNSkFLM0JNJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwNDgyNzgyTzZMRFJYRjIyMUlOJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c2Rfb25zaXRlX2Rlc2t0b3AmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVka…

Read this: [image] Solar panel AND battery for Wyze Cam 3 Cameras I’ve had the outdoor camera for several months and haven’t yet installed it because I don’t want to drill a hole through my composite-material deck to push the power cord through. I’d prefer to run the cam…

I’ll be interested in seeing how you get it figured out. I had thought about doing that myself with one of my portable solar generators, but ended up just hooking it up to an extension cord that I had already run out to my chicken coop/run.

Keep in mind that most battery banks aren’t designed to be charged while being used. I’ve found some solar panels with built in batteries that go well beyond the one or two typically found in panels intended for something like a Blink camera, but they still seem to come up short for powering someth…

Ecoflow solar generators can be used while charging.

Those aren’t your typical power bank of the type the OP linked to. It was nearly pocketable device with a solar panel attached. They also aren’t well suited to the application (not weatherproof, have an unneeded AC inverter, relatively expensive).

The V3 Draws about 1.12 amps @ 5.1 vdc,i have 1 running on a 60,000 mah power bank it will run over 16 days no issues

Where do you get your information @kae4560 :rofl: You state a V3 draws 1.12 Amps yet Wyze supplies a 1 Amps power supply? The most current I have seen a V3 draw is 0.8 A (800ma) and that was with the I.R. On, Spotlight ON, Siren Sounding and Live Video streaming. Otherwise current draw is much les…

From my 4 port display usb charger…and yes with the LED Spotlight it will only ad .11 more
