Wyze Cam Solar Power Test

Hey -
A viewer asked if I knew if it is possible to run a Wyze Cam off of a portable solar panel. Luckily I happened to already have one I use for camping and hurricane prep. Check out the results in the video.
The portable solar panel in the video is a 21watt folding panel from Nekteck -

Hey great video had a question, does this solar panel Store energy so the camera would work at night

[@VincentSmith1776]

No, it doesn't have a battery. You'd need to route it thru a pass-thru power bank to use it like that. But you'd probably want a solar panel more suited for exposure than portability like this one.

Nice look at a backup system.

[@VincentSmith1776]

Thank you.

The answer is no. If you try you will not get continuous recording. That solar panel needs a back up battery for it to run day and night and even then you will lose continuous recording in which will make your camera less effective.

[@VincentSmith1776]

Agreed

[@cpucourage]

Now all Wyze needs to do is make a Wyze Outdoor V2 with a card slot for continuous recording and no need for a power bank due to the battery being inside the camera.
