Someone in this thread said they had no static issues until they inserted a micro SD card.

Umm, what sorcery is this??? :)

So, can you tell us a bit more info.

1.Does the cam still work in the Wyze app after using the firmware provided there, AS WELL as then having RTSP support?
2.Does the RTSP support allow one to set their own username/password, maybe a different RTSP port?
3.Any known issues with this firmware?
4.What am I missing here, how does one install this????

To install, download the zip file and:
unzip wyze_hacks_0_5_06.zip
cp config.inc.TEMPLATE config.inc
./remote_install.sh


huh??

im impressed with my backyard, night color vision is amazing! theres NO light in my backyard and i can still see it pretty good on the v3! i think theres a streelight tho... even at like 5am when its pretty dark with naked eye, the video is bright like in the daytime!
im not even gonna bother with that github rtsp hack...unless wyze has official rtsp in its app..too much hassle!

Get a high endurance micro SD card, I’ve been using samsung pro endurance in my v2’s for a little over a year with no issues so far: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07DTG ... =UTF8&th=1

There are other recommendations for brands that work just as well.

Same here, my camera also in my backyard. it was so amazing that my daughters think I was prank them and couldn't believe it was from backyard at night with no light ON. For the past few days or after the latest updated seem to messed up something, night time video quality completely junk, very blotchy, pixelated and color smear. My other v3 for the front door still working well and it's on same firmware version. the only different front door cam with sd card inserted, not sure this make any different. Does anyone has this problem? thinking to downgrade the firmware see if this solve the issue.

You only need to put in a microSD card if you want to have the V3 save recordings locally. You can either have continuous or event recordings only. Regardless of whether you use a microSD card or not, you'd still have the 14 day playback in the cloud if you are not a camplus subscriber.

I've been trying to read but still unclear what the FREE features are in regards to notifications and recording.

Can this send activity alert notifications to text or email for example, or just to their phone app? It sounds like there is like 10 sec. delay to receive the notification, and there is a 5-minute cooldown (only one notification every 5 minutes)?

How long does it record each alert? How much can it record to cloud?

Sounds like it can continuously record to microSD locally - can that be accessed remotely? How much storage does it take (e.g. per day)?

I can access whats on the SD card and live streaming thru the app on my phone even when I am not within wifi range of my house.

I pasted your questions into google and added Wyze V3.
