Is it possible for you to come out with your set of wires for outside? The length should be 24, 50, 75, & 100 foot usb cables to allow you to power and daisy-chain for the Wyze cam V3? Or, some outdoors setup for the challenges that a homeowners would have to do. It can be poe cables from Existing from current setup from Poe cameras I would like to replace with new Wyze cam V3. Like smaller versions of Poe to USB adapters as another suggestion to help in continuous recording. Even possible larger solar chargers if that is possible also.
I hope you can implement these ideas to better the cams.
In the last Wyze AMA Webinar, they mentioned working on a POE solution (skip ahead to start it at 12:26) and they said they are also working on a Solar power option too (skip ahead to start it at 39:29) which they said as far back as October already had a prototype and was in testing.
So a couple of those ideas are already being worked on.
I hope that helps. I too would love for some of those ideas to materialize.
There are 25 and 50 foot usb cables available on Amazon and eBay right now. I’ve been using them on my outdoor mounted cams for years. Its just a standard micro usb cable. Wyze stamping their logo on it won’t make it any better. They don’t actually manufacture anything they sell. They just design it and a company in China makes it for them.
With the market being flooded already with cables, there is not a huge need for this, for some the biggest use would be are that it would work with the Wyze product, but USB is a universal standard so
I would like the usb cable for cam v4 and v3 to be longer than the one it come with the camera now maybe 3 or four times longer in order to use the camera outside, yes I know you get a longer cable but this will add an extra cost to the total price for the camera, camera + extra base+Microsd+longer usb cable??
To be clear, even if Wyze did make and include one, it would also add an extra cost anyway. The camera would just cost more.
Wyze does have an official USB extension cable here:
It even has a silicone sleeve for weather proofing it outside on the female side. But the male side that goes into the adapter wouldn’t be outdoor rated, so you’d need to use it in an appropriate condition such as an outdoor proof extension box, or run the wire through the wall into the house or something, or at least make sure it’s not getting weather onto the adapter in some other way. My outdoor outlets have a weather resistant cover over them so my indoor adapters have been fine for years on outdoor outlets.
The other option people currently do is to buy the regular outdoor adapter that already exists:
Then if you need more than 12.5 feet of length, you can use a regular rated outdoor AC extension cable to go as far as needed.
But yes, every single solution has added cost because the cords and the materials in them also cost money. If they included an outdoor power adapter or extension cord with the camera, they would have to raise the cost of it, and not everybody needs or wants a longer cord or outdoor adapter, so they try to keep things as affordable as possible and just let people buy the extra things they want separately for those who want the separate things so the other people aren’t having to pay a higher cost for something they aren’t going to use.
Personally, I use both the extension cord and the outdoor adapter. Both work pretty well. Check them out.
And the cam v3 doesn’t come with ac adapter, go buy ac adapter, and it doesn’t come with microsd go buy microsd, so the price for the camera will not he 20 bucks it will be higher
