Nice video, here's one tip I have when it comes to the tricky part of holding setup while plugging it in. Unplug the USB-A end, plug in the mini USB end, then hold setup while you plug the USB-A end of the cord in, as it's less fiddly than the rubber boot connection.

I put the demo_wcv3.bin file in the root of the microSD card as per the instructions, plug in the camera while holding the SETUP button, and it's not working. Tried two different cards, same result. The red light comes up, then it starts saying "ready to connect". Did anyone experience this?

how is the sd card formated, you might try to format the card with the wyze app first, just to make sure its readable by the camera.

OK I just figured it out - Use a third party partition software (e.g. Disk Genius), format your SD card to FAT32, then copy the file. Maybe you need a bigger one, for me 16G didn't work but 32G worked.

Very new to this, but if you use this method, can you use the motion detection from the camera to start any automations? Are those sensors available or just the video stream? What i would like to do is use the motion detection to turn on lights on the porch when people come close/home

only the camera stream, I agree I would like to be able to use the motion detection as a trigger as well.

Greetings from Brazil. Would you know if this Wyze V3 camera is compatible to use it with DVR or NVR? If not, it supports memory card up to how many gigs? Saudações do Brasil. Saberia dizer se essa câmera Wyze V3 tem compatibilidade para usá-la com DVR ou NVR? Caso não, ela suporta cartão de memória de até quantos gigas?

If you set it up with rtsp capability, and your nvr allows you to add rtsp cameras, you should be able to add it and have it record.

I got that working on Home Assistant, but when I add a card with this camera it doesn't stream the content (unless I hit the card an open the stream pop-up), it seems like I am getting snapshots every 10s. I've also tried it via Frigate.. Thoughts?

what do you mean it doesnt stream unless you open the pop-up? i dont think the card streams by default, you have to click the card and open stream for it to work.

Why use home assistant if losing functionality? Seems the Wyze app is very robust and can trigger motion, AI, etc along with flood light integrations, switches,etc. I can have Google stream my camera to my Google home assistant. Just curious what the real advantages are to switching to a third party software with what seems to be less functionality. I could see if Wyze just made it available without having to flash, what about future firmwares? Do you have to flash again with every subsequent firmware release?
