Wyze Cam OG?

As per the title what is the “Wyze Cam OG”? It seems to have similar features as the V3 so is it a replacement? What does the OG stand for… Original Gangsta? Lol

Being sold in store at Home Depot for $29.98
Product code on the barcode WYZECGS-RB

This is indoor/outdoor, weather resistant, starlight sensor night vision, integrated spot light, two way sound so not the V1. It seems placed between the V3 and V3 Pro which is really odd.

Certainly a quick release after the founders letter. Wonder if that’s a reason for the sale price on the V3s?

Unless the “og” has a mandatory updated Starlight sensor (full color night vision sony starlight without needing some gimmicky spotlight or ir lights) and a minimum of 140° fov, I am not buying it yet.
To the people at Wyze, don’t go backwards in technology. (The v3pro was backwards from the regular v3, as example.)

Also, as of January 4th 2023 the “og” amazon listing is not working currently.

When will the wyze cam og software be released so I can use my camera? I couldn’t believe that after buying this camera I would find out I can’t even use it until the software is released. Why would wyze even sell it if it can’t be used yet?

@2022inglett The OG is in development and was not supposed to be sold by HD yet. This was their mistake. having released it too soon. That said, we expect the official product release will happen fairly soon and will have Wyze app support at that time.

LOL, like Home Depot has never done that before… :rofl: :upside_down_face: :rofl: :upside_down_face:

The Floodlight V3 unit was introduced the same way, Home Depot made available too soon and Wyze should of learned from that…

Hopefully! Sucks that this camera I just bought is basically a paperweight until they release something.

You are actually in a good position! You can be the very first in the nation to start a new thread and review the new cam! :grin::clap: Everyone else will be waiting on theirs to be shipped or waiting on your review to order.
