If you want to use a Wyze Cam v3 somewhere the Wifi coverage is poor then it is possible to connect it to a wired network. The camera does not have a ethernet port but you can buy an adapter.
To connect the Wyze Cam v3 to the Ethernet instead of Wifi do the following:
- Purchase an USB ethernet adapter like https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07W8ZQJL9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
- Download ZIP of files from https://github.com/gtxaspec/wz_mini_hacks
- Format microSD card to fat32
- Copy contents of SD_ROOT folder in downloaded Zip file to root of microSD card
- If you need to SSH to the camera then edit wz_mini/etc/ssh/authorized_keys file to add public key. Generate from pc using command "ssh-keygen -C root"
- Edit the wz_mini.conf file on microSD card using a text editor like notepad. Change ENABLE_USB_ETH to "true". Change ENABLE_USB_ETH_MODULE_AUTODETECT to "true". Change ENABLE_USB_ETH_MODULE_MANUAL to ""
- Insert the microSD card into camera slot on the bottom
- Connect adapter to camera, ethernet and power
- Power on
- The first time it is run the camera speaker states that wz_mini_hacks is initialising.
- Then connect to the camera using the app.
- When the camera is connected check the device info page to find out the IP address allocated
- You can also use that IP address to SSH to the camera. Username root. Certificate generated in step 5.
The ethernet connection should be more reliable than a poor wifi connection.
