I received my V3 the other day and went to install it. I didn’t realize that it required a constant power source. When will the outdoor adapter kit will be available and the price. Thank you, ---

What outdoor adapter kit? The outdoor rated AC adapter will still need to be plugged in somewhere, and still fairly close to the camera. If you wanted a battery powered unit they sell a different Wyze Cam Outdoor model… ---

Wow thanks, hadn’t seen that. Not what I was expecting. I have no idea when it’s shipping. Still, length is going to be a concern for people, and of course it still has to get plugged into AC power. ---

Yes, that’s the one I’m interested in. Wonder how bright it will be. ---

Not try to hijack your thread but I am not seeing anything elsewhere on this issue. I have existing outdoor cameras that no longer work at night and would like to replace them with Wyze cameras. The existing ones have a DC power cable going to them. Is there a way to adapt my existing power to the Wyze cameras? ---
