Whose Wzye Cam's are Out in the Cold? The weather Outside is frightful!

Hi Brian, here’s some relevant info from my experience with v2’s outdoors. You can click the title to go to the other thread and get full context:

Removing and reinstalling the micro USB power plug into the socket on the back of the cam.

I did it three times for good measure (“exercising” a plug/ socket combo costs nothing and can improve power connection quality if any flakiness from corrosion has occurred. Especially applies if you’re using a cam in “outlaw” mode (the cam is not Wyze approved/supported for outdoor use.)

I’m pretty confident this conclusion is correct because as soon as I physically grabbed the cam and held it in my hand a few feet from its mounting point, it was Happy Jack - strong and stable as the day is long.

Background : Cam is

• outdoors in a mild climate, second floor, under an eave - for four months with no connectivity problems.
• Has an SD card installed - approved size and duty rating. While I was there, I also “exercised” the SD card in its socket three times. Later, back in the easy chair, I reformatted the card via the in-app utility.
