…also doesn’t make coffee 
Not the 2k Smart Camera I’ve been waiting for, as it doesn’t have RTSP.
What a lost opportunity by Wyze.
RTSP wasn’t viable on the V3 due to memory and/or processing power of the v3? (don’t recall what the specific limitation(s) were.)
V3 Pro could of been designed from the ground up to overcome those limitations and implemented RTSP out of the box.
I and others would of purchased multitudes of Wyze V3 Pro RTSP enabled cameras…
back to the drawing board…

It looks like the power cord plugs right into the camera like the V2.
Does it still use a micro USB connector or some other type (USB-C maybe)?
With Wyze touting all the security features of this new cam I was wondering if they finally integrated this with HMS? Can the siren be activated when the alarm from HMS is set off?
No. The HMS armed\alarm status remains quarantined from any home automation functionality. Still no triggers on the HMS to initiate a cam action.
Yes, that would be great. But, I think it is more of an HMS Trigger restriction since all the cams already have the Siren action available.
Can the spotlight be turned off and can you still see at night in color like the older camera?
The V3Pro does have a Starlight Sensor and Color Night Vision.
Thanks. I am upgrading from the Wyze cam v3 cam and I am buying the new 2k camera.
Other companies have a spotlight always on for their color at night. I am glad I can turn it off as the camera will be inside looking out and the light would reflect off the glass.
Agreed. That application would be very bad for both a motion activated spotlight and also IR Night Vision Emitters.
Both are settings that can be disabled.
Based on the new features and capabilities, this camera is significantly different to the V3. I wonder why it isn’t labeled a “V4”?
I hate to be blunt, but why are you people asking questions that none of us users can answer? These type of questions should be directed straight to Wyze.
First of all, Wyze employees often read these posts and may respond to them. Secondly, other forum members may have an answer they read somewhere else or may want to give their opinion. Sorry my question gave you such distress!
I think it is more similar to the V3 than it is dissimilar. It’s just a bigger, better, stronger version. The Colonel Steve Austin of the V3.
In reality, the only added hardware feature is the spotlight. All the other features are just improvements on the old ones:
- Better Resolution
- Better CPU
- Better Speaker\Mic
- Better Antennas
- Better AI w\ local processing
Smart Focus and the New Events and Playback UI (with AI Tag reference points) are Firmware and App based upgrades and not hardware based.
Maybe the coveted V4 badge is being reserved for the next Industry Disrupter they are working on!
Um those are all major hardware changes. It’s a brand new, entirely different model. The only thing it really has in common with the V3 is that… It’s a camera.
Major hardware upgrades. Not new hardware features. The spotlight is the only new hardware feature the V3 doesn’t have. Everything else is just bigger, better, faster than the equivalent component on the V3.
Puting a new crate motor, turbos, transmission, exhaust, rear end, power disk brakes, rims and tires on your 1969 GTO doesn’t make it a 2009 G8. It’s still a 1969 GTO, just a modernized upgraded one.
Yes, it is a major upgrade to the majority of the V3’s original components, but they are just that… upgrades to what is essentially the same chassis.
Well we have V3 Pro, Turbo, Turbo Boost, Ultra. and Ultimate to go (based on upgrades to my car).
I’d like to see V4 be the Matter certified device.
I still would like to see a 4K outdoor PTZ.
