I’m just curious how others have setup their Wyze Cam OG with the OG Telephoto. Do you have them connected with the stack kit or did you come up with another solution? Pictures would be great.
I have the OG Telephoto and my plan was just use one of my V3’s with it, but obviously the stack kit won’t work with it and I was just going to velcro them together. But now I see Wyze has the OG for $20, so I just might buy. I’m not sure I like how the setup looks stacked and think it will draw too much attention to the cameras. Any thoughts?
No where that I am using a OG-Tele do I have a wider angle camera looking in the same direction. Most of my OG-Tele cameras are looking at something where I specifically need the closer view (and several of those are less than 10 feet away).
I am using the stack kit just because the deal on the 2 cams with the kit was better than buying them separately. Honestly if I went back and did it again, I’d probably just mount them both separately and leave the stack kit in a drawer. First, the dual USB cable is round not flat, so can’t fit through a closed window, so I ended up using the two individual cables. Second, trying to adjust the angle to get BOTH cams just right is a bit of a nightmare. Third, removing the SD card from the top cam is difficult to impossible without sliding that cam off the bottom cam, at least if it is angled straight ahead or downward.
It is working for me the way I have it set up now, but I wouldn’t bother going to the trouble again, I honestly don’t think it is any more or less aesthetically pleasing.
That being said it has been there for 18 months and has held well. I even extended the “slot” in the stack bracket so I could aim the top cam downward more and high winds etc have not affected the aim of either camera. My situation may be a bit unique too as it is mounted up somewhat high near my front door with one cam looking straight out, and the other looking downward at a somewhat sharp angle. I guess if you’re not trying to get things fairly exact for detection zones etc and just want them both adjustable, it may work better. I guess overall it is more limiting than just having both mounts independent.
They are sitting on a window sill looking out a window. Can’t get a photo right now because I’d have to crawl up in the attic, across rafters in the garage to the window. The ogt is on its mount on the window sill, and the v3 has its mount extending siting in the sill right next to it.
