The FEIT camera that is being used now does not record continuous. Only events. This FEIT camera is powered by a FEIT solar using a Micro USB(USB Micro-B).
I am looking at the Wyze Battery Cam Pro and would like to know:
A. What cable end is used at the camera??
B. Does this camera record continuously like the Wyze Cam4?
Thanks
It uses a USB-C and it can record continuously. I have no idea how long the battery lasts when doing so. I know that if you record Events Only, the Solar Panel keeps up quite well… even with dozens of 5 min videos a day.
8-10 hours on continuous.
I have four Wyze Battery Cam Pro’s, all connected to it’s own Wyze Solar Panel.
I had hopes that the Battery would be enough to make it overnight in Continuous Recording Mode, and the Battery would fully charge under full sunshine the next time, wash, rinse, repeat.
That hope was dashed on my first test to see if that was possible.
I was hoping I could find some sort of small battery pack to supplement the onboard battery to make it through a night of continuous recording, and then use the solar to maintain that continuous charging through the daytime and charge the two batteries back up. But, not sure that’s even possible.
Perhaps Wyze will come out with Wyze Battery Cam Pro Max, that has a larger battery to allow for it to make it through a night of continuous recording, and then a Wyze Solar Panel Max (or 3rd party) to fully charge the battery up during the day.
It is possible but you are getting into totally different category, with bigger panels. charge controllers and higher capacity batteries. @bryonhu has a really neat setup. search the forums for it.
The following thread is current. It is worth reading as it gives insight into what is required to accomplish what you described. Before reading keep in mind the cost of entry (includes batteries) is $200 - $400.
Good luck!
Thank you for sharing, good read, not sure I want to invest $200 to do continuous recording on my Battery Cam Pro though.
I don’t blame you 
I have more $$$ invested in battery backups and remote 12v Solar Systems on my property than I do with both Wyze & Reolink cameras 
and have too many cameras 
Close to $1800 in just LiFePO4 batteries.
I live where power goes out a lot and sometimes for days to weeks, So most devices have backup power sources.
Low Voltage lighting wiring is another option in my posts
A lot cheaper and easy to install, you can run several hundred feet if necessary and wire is easily concealed as it’s direct burial and also UV resistant.
