Wyze has released a special firmware update for its v2 cameras today that can convert the smart home staple into a webcam for Windows and macOS. Spotted by Dave Zatz on Twitter, the update, which can be found by visiting a dedicated Wyze support page, requires flashing the v2 camera firmware using a MicroSD card.

When used as a webcam, the Wyze Cam v2 supports the built-in mic, speaker, and of course, video, and it works with popular apps like Skype, Hangouts, and Zoom. The company cautions however, that the camera was not designed to be a webcam, and the update is only being released to help those who require a camera for conferencing. Wyze has stated that they are not planning any bug fixes or improvements for the feature, so it is definitely use at your own risk.

  • Wyze Cam v2 was not designed to be used as a webcam. This firmware is for folks who need a webcam but can't buy one.
  • This solution should be used 'as is.' We are not planning on continuous improvements or bug fixes.
  • Once the Wyze Cam is flashed to webcam firmware, it will not be able to connect to the Wyze app, unless you manually flash it back to stock firmware.
  • This may or may not be compatible with your computer operating system. We have tested and confirmed that it works on Mac OS 10.13, Windows 7 and 10.
  • This solution has been tested and works with Zoom, GoToMeeting, Blue Jeans, Google Hangouts, Skype, and Cisco.

Once converted, the Wyze Cam v2 will no longer work as a security camera and will not work with the Wyze app. However, users can revert to the original firmware using a similar method if they wish to switch back. Here's what the process entails:

  • Windows 10: Right-click on the folder and select Extract all.
  • Mac OS: Drag and drop the folder on the root directory of your microSD card.
  • For both Mac and Windows, rename the file to demo.bin.
  • Unplug your Wyze Cam from power and insert your microSD card.
  • Press and hold the Setup button, then plug in your USB cable. Continue holding the setup button for 3-6 seconds until the light is solid blue, then release the button.
  • Wait 3-4 minutes. The camera will reboot, and the light status will change during this time.
  • Once complete, the status light will flash yellow and blue at the same time (not alternating).
  • Connect the USB A to A cable to the Wyze Cam (USB port, not the micro USB port) and computer USB port.
