Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with setting up a Wyze Cam in a remote location without access to power outlets, Wi-Fi, or the internet. After some research and trial and error, I managed to get it working smoothly!
First, I used a portable power bank to power the camera. It’s important to choose a high-capacity battery to ensure longevity. I also utilized the local SD card for recording, which worked perfectly. I was worried about power consumption, so I adjusted the camera settings to minimize it—lowering the frame rate and disabling motion detection when not needed.
To manage the camera settings remotely, I found that the Wyze app still functioned even without an internet connection. It was a bit tricky at first, but once I got the hang of it, it became manageable. I also discovered that setting up a scheduled recording schedule helped conserve battery life.
One thing I learned is to test the setup in different conditions before fully committing. For instance, I tested it in low-light environments and ensured the SD card had enough storage space. Overall, it’s been a great addition to my remote monitoring setup!
If anyone has questions or needs tips, feel free to ask. I’m happy to help others avoid the pitfalls I encountered.
