I recently discovered an unexpected use for my Wyze cameras that I thought I’d share with the community. Last week, I patched a crack in my driveway that had widened over the years to about half an inch. When I finished the project, I wished I had taken before-and-after pictures to document the progress. Then, I remembered that my Wyze cameras were saving footage of the area. I was pleasantly surprised to find clear before-and-after footage of the crack repair!
This experience made me realize how valuable security cameras can be for documenting home improvements. It’s not just about security—it’s also about having a record of changes over time. I’m now thinking of other ways to use my cameras for similar purposes, like tracking plant growth or monitoring outdoor projects.
If anyone else has found creative uses for their Wyze cameras, I’d love to hear about them! Here’s a quick comparison of the crack before and after the repair:


It’s amazing how technology can turn everyday tools into multi-functional assets. Happy automating everyone!
