I just purchased a Cam v3 and am disappointed that the SD Playback interface from the SD Card does not match the Cam OG interface.
The Cam OG SD Playback interface’s vertical layout and the icons for movement and sound are a great little feature.
The Cam v3 SD Playback interface is horrible with its horizontal scroll you cannot see anything.
Please update the SD playback interface for all camera types to match the new Cam OG layout. The interface should be uniform across all Wyze camera models.
[Mod Edit]:Title, tags and request text modified to enhance search clarity. [Mod Note]:This request is the inverse of the following wishlist topic: Cam v3 Pro - Revert to old V3 Playback UI
There was a consistent UI (except required camera specific additions such as pan controls on pan cameras). Wyze has developed a new UI which essentially is being tested on a couple of camera models and will be migrated to all the cameras once the new UI is finalized (still a few tweeks to it based on user feedback). At least that’s the way I understand it.
The new UI is growing on me. Once you have navigated to the desired date, you can see the old UI by turning your phone/tab to horizontal/landscape orientation.
I would love to see all cams on the same UI, or at the very least have the same feature options available on all cams with the same Settings Menu options and UI when they have those features available. Even the new UI is missing options for some cam versions.
But, as has already been mentioned, totally reprogramming the UI for all the older cams is much like retrofitting all new features on an old car. It just isn’t financially feasible.
Integrate new Cam Pan v3 user interface to other Wyze cam types
The new Cam Pan v3 user interface is great. Makes it much easier to go back and view old recordings from the SD card. Having that interface on the standard Cam v3 (and other cam types) would be great.

This. Any updates here? It is frustrating going from cam to cam and having to remember the flow of the cam that I’m on. In addition to those already mentioned here, some cams require a tap before zooming and panning on the video, while other cams don’t have this prerequisite. Would be great if all UI behaved/looked the same at a basic level.
Agreed the New UI must improve on something. It does not improve anything. @SlabSlayer its the same for one handed user, you scroll up and down or left and right. The Main thing the Old UI has is you can see more visually in history and it can show the symbols for Sound and motion. New UI is a sliderbar. You cant quickly find events
I agree that it would be nice for all cameras to have uniform UI, but I don’t think it should be the new UI. Maybe a mix of the old and new. I do like the layout of the buttons in the new UI. However, I need to be able to zoom in and watch a specific spot for movement while I scroll through the playback, and it just doesn’t work in the new UI. In vertical orientation the scrolling box just goes away when you zoom in because there’s not room for it, and in landscape it is overlaid so you can’t really see the picture while you scroll. Please, please bring back the horizontal scroll bar so it can just be at the bottom of the screen when you zoom in, then we can scroll and watch at the same time again!
I’d also like to see this request applied to other features (not just the Live Stream and microSD playback portions of the UI), such as the Album, where the Cam OG interface shows three tiles (Photos, Videos, and Timelapse) but provides no means to actually delete a timelapse video from the microSD card (unlike, say, on a Cam v4, where the video can be selected and deleted to reclaim that card space for other recordings).
More consistency across the UI seems like it’d be an improvement to the UX.
Once you have navigated to the desired date, you can see the old UI by turning your phone/tab to horizontal/landscape orientation.
This is the key statement.
