Tldr for those who want to use wz_mini_hacks:
- Download v3 firmware version 4.36.9.139. You do not need the "RTSP firmware".
- Format a microsd card fat32 (get good quality microSD). Put the firmware file at the root of sd card and insert into camera.
- Hold Setup button while plugging in power for a few seconds until the light turns purple-ish. Camera is upgrading. Wait for it to complete and it will reboot.
- Set up the camera in the Wyze app as normal, do not upgrade firmware if asked. Recommend to disable detection, recording, logo, notifications, etc. Give it a min or two to save.
- Power off and pull SD card. Format card again. Download the wz_mini repo. Copy the files in "SD_ROOT" to the root of SD card.
- Modify wz_mini/wz_mini.conf per the documentation (see below). Probably want to add your SSH key as well (etc/ssh/authorized keys). Can set ENABLE_SELFHOSTED_MODE="true" to block Wyze access.
- Reboot, you should hear some set up audio.

I have a subscription remaining for one Wyze cam that was cheap so I kept it for the heck of it. I have to regularly restart it because it stops detecting motion. I'll look and the last thing it recorded was 9 hours ago in a busy area. Reboot it and it immediately starts detecting motion again until I have to do it again the next day or later that same day. Also they screwed something up in a firmware update and now it's basically useless at night.
I've had next to zero problems with my Ring cameras and I'm not at all concerned about them not recording something like I am the Wyze. I've had both for years and I only trust Ring.
Sometimes it is slow to access local video playback.
Wyze Nerfed up the ios mobile application on playback. Tries to sell you the monthly service.
Decent system overall. Can't beat for price.
built-in light,
Bluetooth setup
much faster
Better quality at night
Can do picture in picture
Has a much better event screen
I have almost 20 of these and still have a couple v3s. I sold most of my v3s
if you have a V2 or V1 sell them their quality is terrible compared to these new ones
I love the OGs
