Hey everyone! I wanted to share a quick and super useful tip that I stumbled upon recently. I’ve been using my Wyze Outdoor Cam for a while now, and while it’s been a great addition to my smart home setup, charging it has always been a bit of a hassle. That is, until I discovered this awesome workaround!
So, here’s the deal. MyOutdoor Cam has a built-in battery, but it’s not the most reliable, especially during the colder months. I was tired of bringing it indoors every time the battery was low, so I decided to think outside the box. And guess what? I found a solution that’s not only effective but also incredibly simple!
I decided to use an Anker external battery to charge myOutdoor Cam right where it is—on my porch. I was skeptical at first, but it worked like a charm! The battery charged the camera up to 100% without any issues, and I didn’t have to worry about the weather since I kept an eye on it the whole time. It’s such a small tweak, but it made a huge difference in how I manage my smart devices.
Here’s how you can do it too: just take your external battery (make sure it’s compatible with your camera’s charging requirements) and plug it into the camera’s charging port. Keep it out in the open (but not in the rain, of course) and let it do its thing. It’s perfect for those times when you want to keep an eye on your pets or your garden without bringing your camera inside.
I’m really excited about this hack, and I hope it helps someone else out there who’s dealing with the same issue. It’s all about finding creative solutions to make our smart homes work better for us, right? Let me know if you’ve tried anything similar or if you have other tips to share—I’m always looking for new ideas!
Cheers and happy hacking! ![]()
