I wanted to share what I put together for my Wyze camera to prevent glare. For me, this setup nearly eliminates all glare when lights are on indoors. It also helps a bit when headlights shine into the window from outside. If I were to buy a black wrap for the camera, it would probably reduce the headlight glare even more, but I’m waiting until Wyze releases the black camera again. After that, I’ll put the white ones on rear windows, where headlights aren’t an issue.
All you need is a box and some black matte spray paint. I started with a box of knock-off Pop-Tarts from Dollar Tree. (You can use anything, but this was about the right size to cover all the glare.) One Pop-Tart box can create two anti-glare boxes.
Here’s what we’re creating:
- Cut the box in half as shown.
- Take half of the box and cut a bit more off until the depth is just a little more than the Wyze cam. You may want to figure out how much depth your Wyze cam takes up when it’s angled the way it will be in your window. Mine is angled down, and I ended up cutting the box to about 2.25 inches deep.
- Add a hole at the bottom (which will be the rear of the box when it’s against the window) for the cord. When it’s on the window, it will be in a horizontal orientation to block all the necessary glare, so make sure your hole is centered horizontally.
- Put a dab of superglue or tape to keep the bottom closed and together.
- Spraypaint it black.
- Install it on your window using whatever mounting method you prefer. I’ve used an L-bracket with some suction cups and I’m just letting the bottom mount’s magnetism sandwich the box between the metal bracket and the magnetic base. Make sure to push it all the way flush against your window.
Voila! This simple DIY project has made a big difference in reducing glare and ensuring my camera operates smoothly. I hope this helps someone else facing similar issues!
