How Do I Manually Flash Firmware on a Wyze Cam v3 or v4 Using an SD Card?

Device: Wyze Cam (Wyze Cam v3, Wyze Cam v4)

You want to manually install a specific firmware version on your Wyze Cam v3 or v4 using a microSD card. This is useful for downgrading to a more stable firmware version, installing RTSP firmware for local streaming, or recovering from a failed over-the-air update. Unlike the automatic update in the Wyze app the manual SD card method gives you full control over which firmware version runs on the camera. This procedure is widely used by the Wyze community for custom firmware installations.

Your Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro lights turn on at dusk as expected but do not turn off through the night and are still on at sunrise. The lights remain on continuously instead of turning off after the motion timeout period expires.

Device: Wyze Cam (Wyze Cam v3, Wyze Cam v4, Wyze Cam OG, Wyze Cam Pan v3)
