Wyze Cam V3 Power Supply Cable Recommendation

For outdoor use do you have to keep the V3 plugged in or does it have a battery that is being charged?

Hi @kadehumpherys The V3 cam is strictly USB powered, no internal batttery.

So how would having it plugged in outside void the warranty if it’s an indoor/outdoor camera?

There is a short USB cord out the back of cam with a sleve to keep water out. It is listed as:
Weather Resistance: IP65 Weather resistant, Indoor/Outdoor so no problem with warranty.

Hi I am also a newbie I have ordered my Wyze cam 3 and as I will connect to power source inside the garage, so water ingress would not be a problem. I will drill a hole for the usb pigtail to go in. However I do need a longer extension insdie the garage to a power socket, I was thinking of using this:

As long as I can plug it into the pigtail ? That is one of my questions also as I am in the UK would I have to us a 5 volt power adapter?

Hello @walton_edward.
The 10’ power cord you referenced will work fine.

I Googled your question about using it in Canada. It should work fine.
