Achieving a Consistent Vantage Point

Stable Mounting for Reliable Angles

The Wyze Window Mount’s design ensures that once your camera is attached, it remains stable—even as you adjust the tilt. This is essential for maintaining a consistent vantage point, so your camera always captures the intended area.

Tips for Consistent Positioning:

Clean the Glass: Before mounting, thoroughly clean the glass to ensure a strong, lasting bond.
Check the Mount’s Placement: Position the mount at the desired height and angle before securing it. Use the Wyze app’s live view to fine-tune your camera’s field of view.
Adjust Tilt Carefully: The mount allows for tilt adjustments without shifting the camera’s base, so your vantage point remains consistent.

Camera Tilt Adjustments: Best Practices

Using the Wyze App for Fine-Tuning

Once your camera is mounted, use the Wyze app to make precise tilt adjustments. This ensures you can adapt to changing lighting conditions or areas of interest without physically disturbing the mount.

Steps for Adjusting Tilt:

1. Access Live View: Open the Wyze app and select your camera. 2. Adjust Tilt: Use the app’s controls to tilt the camera up or down as needed. 3. Verify Consistency: After each adjustment, check the live feed to confirm that your vantage point remains steady and the area of interest is still in frame.

"If you find that adjusting the angle of the camera is tough, loosen the dial on the bottom of the camera by turning it counterclockwise."

The Wyze Window Mount is available in two styles to fit a range of Wyze cameras:

v1: Works with Wyze Cam v3 and v3 Pro

Pro Tips for Behind-Glass Camera Mounting

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Position your camera and mount away from direct sunlight to reduce glare and prevent overheating.
Use the App’s Rotation Settings: If you need to mount your camera upside down, use the Wyze app’s advanced settings to rotate the image 180° for correct orientation.
Check for Obstructions: Ensure there are no objects between the camera and the glass that could cause unwanted reflections or block the view.
