* Are either Wyze Cam OG or Wyze Cam OG Telephoto Cam Plus Lite compatible?
* No, neither camera is compatible with Cam Plus Lite.
Two cameras = two SD cards
But once the stacking kit comes it's one power cable.
They wanted to go back to being a "low priced camera company". they mentioned there are going to be a lot of different cameras coming out in the future like wide angle, super wide angle, 5x, 7x zoom cameras and other options to add onto this "OG" ecosystem.
The V3 is compatible with other items like spot light, garage door, and other items where as the OG ecosystem won't be.
It will be two series: a higher end series and a lower end series and each will be compatible with their own system. So instead of buying multiple high end cameras for simple areas you can buy cheaper cameras that do one specific job for that one location. like instead of buying two OG cameras and stack them for a wider view, you would just put a V3 pan in that location. and instead of putting a V3 or V3 pan to see down the side of the house you would just put in an OG or OG telephoto to see the entrance gate down the side of the house.
I guess that would be the best way to put it. Each OG camera will do one specific job with a processor and sensor that is better than the V3 so it's not a V3 replacement. Hope this helps
Edit - Poster below found these new cameras are not eligible for the Cam Plus Lite sub.

What you do is look at the time of the event, then look at the playback for the camera at that time. It's a bit awkward, but it works.
The video clip would still reside on the card but you would need to pull it from the camera and view it on a computer. And obviously you won't be doing that from a remote location.
For those of us with existing cameras and on the lite plan, the new cameras offer little benefit unless you opt for the paid subscription. In fact, it may prompt some to abandon Wyze and switch to a different brand rather than being forced to pay for what was advertised as free when they became Wyze customers. Some of us feel the neverending pressure is a slap in the face to those who helped contribute to Wyze's success.

This new OG just came out a few days ago. And wyze changed stuff, if you are long time user of Wyze cam's in past, research what changed.
"Does the Wyze Cam v3 Pro support Cam Plus Lite?
No, as of right now, Cam Plus Lite only supports cameras released during or before April 2022, such as Wyze Cam Outdoor v2."

Other than using the timeline bar to go back to an earlier time and play the video clip from that point, how do you play back from the SD in the app only?

Wyzard told me to delete cams from my account and re-add them.
Any other way?

Open the Wyze app.
Go into your account.
Click on Services.
Near the top of the screen you will be three headings.
Disregard the first two.
Click on the Cam Plus Lite heading.
You should see your cameras here.
If not, you need to add it (or them).
To clarify, this is in your overall account. Don't try to open that specific camera at the Home Screen and try to make the change there.
I suppose in theory you could have individual cameras under each of the three plans listed in Services. But I'm just a cheapskate and have all mine in the free category.
