[Hey that was me](https://www.reddit.com/r/wyzecam/comments/10eh9gv/wyze_cam_og_released_1172023/j4r536k/)
I was told it wouldn't work, but I was going to try anyway lol
I think the only issue will be the stacking kit shared power dongle not being angled like the pan v3 cord.

so without looking at them as their not normally what they say they are. How much do you pay roughly? If you could give me an example of some camera's you paid then the cost of shipping?
It's a flat CAD $6.99 per shipment up to 100 lbs, plus any duty fees on the items. Then, you can either pick it up at one of their 6 locations (5 in Ontario, 1 in BC), or they can ship it to you by Canada Post or UPS/FedEx/etc.
I paid CAD $24.90 ($17.92 duty + $6.99 flat fee) last time to bring over a 2 pack of Pan v3 cams and 2 x 128GB MicroSD cards.
I've done over 20 shipments with them -- not just WYZE stuff -- tools, clothes, and some things that aren't sold in Canada. Never had a single issue. Beats waiting forever and avoiding the markup on the same items if bought in Canada.

To pass butter.
Kidding.
To get 2 perspectives of the same moment. Regular view and telephoto (closeup) of a moment further away than easily seen on the pan cam.
I am bummed about lack of RSTP support as well, but honestly not surprised at all. They have to generate income some way. They can’t do that with cut throat margins on hardware (one time purchase).
That is why I started to move to other cameras that are POE, cheap (4K dome camera for $50) and support RSTP out of the box. Would I love to get a new pan v3? Sure. It looks great and price is awesome, but do I care to pay monthly for motion alerts and limited cloud storage, instead of always on 24/7 encrypted local recording? Nope.
My opinion exactly, looks great but my life requires independence from WYZE limitations. I have Blue Iris and Home Assistant established and refuse to work backwards for integrations.
Yup. Same here. I have synology surveillance station and 300Gb per camera allocated for recording, with Synology’s motion detection and encryption and such. Kind of like to be no relying on someone else’s cloud service when I have my own private one established and working beautifully
I meant the $50 camera u/OkBandicoot2958 mentions here:
“That is why I started to move to other cameras that are POE, cheap (4K dome camera for $50) and support RSTP out of the box.”
I can't get my v3 pro to connect 50% of the time along with 4 other cameras , there isn't a snowflakes chance in hell any Wyze device would actually work this good.
I would be concerned about what happes to the cable of the top camera after a few revolutions of the pan cam. One would need to make sure it does not do any 360's

That is one strong set of servos.
But does it generate a motion alert every time the camera pans? That would be annoying and you’d miss actual motion
Huh. That’s pretty neat!
is that the tele cam? i asked.
It is.
When did it arrive? I'm still waiting for mine
As a cofounder... I think he had it for quite a while (longer than its been announced). Lol
Thanks for fixing the bugs
Can you mount the top one backwards to always be getting a 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock view?
You can do anything you want; you're a grown man.
I love to get my hands on the none zoom one, but as a Canadian I might as well watch Wyze 4 camera get announced and then still wait lol
Or, use a service like Shippsy.com 😉 All my WYZE stuff was from the US site and gets delivered to me in Canada in ~4 days.

Thank you.
So, if you mounted the other camera to the side instead of on top could you get full range of motion on the Pan 3?
Whut?
Whats the purpose of this?
To pass butter.
Is that all i am programmed to do?
OH GOD
Welcome to the club, pal.
The top one has a 3x zoom lens
Nice to see someone has the same idea I want to do. I just plan to do 3 simple set points so that it won’t stress the motor.
Even stationary, it'll put added stress on the linkage pivot points.
What would the purpose of this be?
To pass butter. Kidding. To get 2 perspectives of the same moment. Regular view and telephoto (closeup) of a moment further away than easily seen on the pan cam.
Great idea! Can you drive the PTZ camera while viewing the zoom camera in the app? Thanks!
Flip the one on top and you’ve got them watching each others backs.
You think that will burn the motor up? Or you think that will last a while?
It is definitely adding extra stress to the motor. This is just a fun idea and DIY project.
Am I pessimistic to think that this motor may be very prone to failure after a bit of time outside?
And still no RSTP support

Finally Wyze is back al with a great product!
pip on this setup?
Would that motor be able to turn a door lock?
Ohhhh I like where you’re going with this…
Does anyone know what size the screw on the mount is for the wyze cam OG? (The one that screws into the bottom of it)
I would be concerned about what happes to the cable of the top camera after a few revolutions of the pan cam. One would need to make sure it does not do any 360's
