I have a Wyse Cam 2 and its located 1300 miles away & not accessible for 8 months. My Wyse app says I.need to update but am reluctant to mess up this great working remote camera. Does an update only effect my smart phone software app in working with cam or does it possibly mess with the remote camera software / firmware. I cannot afford to do anything that will require me to reset the cam there. Appreciate your answer to this question. Thank you.

They just restart and all is okay, never had one break because of an update, so I would say it should be alright, but there is always that 1% chance that it will need someone to be physically there to unplug and plug it back in. But, at least for me, its never been an issue.

What's the difference between having the micro sd card recording and the complete capture?
@GrossTechnology
4 жыл бұрын
So the complete capture only records the event, but longer than it’s normal recording. So instead of a 12 second recording (free version), complete records from the start of motion till it detects no motion. So you get the entire motion event but the SD gives you full recording when it’s not even detecting motion, which is useful when the motion happens outside the detection zone but still visible.

I tried ONE Wyze camera about 2 years ago and was very impressed, couldnt beat the price, thats for sure. Not even looking for cameras, I saw the V2 black was at Home Depot, I think I'll go back and pick up 2 more cameras. Never heard of them a few years ago, they blew up fast...decent products! I got a 3 camera Arlo 4 years ago for Xmas and...eh, was never really happy with that. Its ok in the daytime, but night vision, it is just pointless IMO. Plus this old model using 4 CR123 batteries (each camera), depending on how much motion one camera gets - batteries drain fast & replacing the batteries are not cheap. I also find my one camera constantly going "offline" (who knows.) If the newer Arlos are better...i guess they are, so be it. But I'm just interested in that brand.

Josh, thanks for all the great videos. Wyze seems to have a great combo of top tech, good prices and good support. I hope they can stay successful.

Your comments would be useful

I have seen some on the forums do this but you have to find a large enough of a battery bank to last an entire day, and that’s banking on the fact that you hope there is a full sunlight day to fully charge the bank. But it has been done. I’d search solar battery bank on the Wyze forum.
@danconatser8699

@@GrossTechnology Josh, yes, I did a much better search today and found a lot of people trying/testing the idea of using an external battery and solar. Short answer - it does not work for Wyze V2 CAM, because the camera is always "ON" with PIR and sucks down the battery in hours . and solar recharge will take 2-3 days.... but CAMs that use IR will last longer since they only "turn on" when there is motion. But you still end up replacing batteries every 3-6 weeks. The info was very educational. We now will wait to see what the Wyze Outdoor CAM will have for us......
