Review on Uxcell 16Mm F2 0 Camera Angle by Jeremy Meza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well with WYZE cam V2 (Edited 7/23/2021, does not work well with V3)

Replaced the standard lens of the WYZE cam V2 with this lens. Body compatible (extends <1/4" beyond the body edge through a hole). Good image quality. Focus adjustable from close range (<6" to infinity) by rotating (starts with close focus). I basically had to disassemble the WYZE camera to install the lens. A tiny knife + isopropyl alcohol is enough to remove the "glue" found on the threads of a standard WYZE camera lens. without damaging the plastic) before attempting to remove the adhesive. Anyway, I removed the glue only to find that most of it had dissolved into the solution and ended up on the glass filters; I had to disassemble and clean all the optics. Disassembly is easy (screws and plastic fasteners), videos can be found online. It took a long time to remove the glue. (Edit 2021-07-23) Latest copy does not work with Wyze Cam V3. The distance from the lens to the sensor is too great; can hardly get a thread, and the focus is on infinity; so can't focus effectively on something closer.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors
