I have been on a long journey of trying to get my Wyze cam set up for a daily pic. I want to then create a timelapse for an extended period of time to see growth and changes.

I FINALLY got it where I want, how I want, when I want.

Now I need to improve the picture itself.

This is what my tank looks like at 5:40pm. Which is around 60% of blues. My tank gets more and more blue throughout the day. More blue is even worse. Can't see a thing except that insane pink Goni.

Alright. Whites on and intensity set to 5%. Colors are lacking in some colors, but way better.

Now we are getting somewhere! I added my Flipper Magnifier orange lens to the front of the camera before the glass. This was the first pic I took and it had looked the best. I can't seem to recreate the colors here though. I must have messed with the settings on my lights and forgot what I had done. I would be pretty satisfied with this...

Mounted to glass with flipper orange filter.



Now that I know I want/ need a filter, I come to the community.

Those of you with any filters (clip on, glasses, anything) AND a Wyze cam, could you test it to see if and how it works for you?
Does it fit over the face of the cam?
Does it filter out blues for good colors?
Already using a Wyze with filter? Please, share!

I don't think I can purchase every filter to test myself...

Here are a few pics of different times / colors

80% or more blue

100% blue - pretty ineffective

First pic is moonlights (all blue) second is mostly blue. The lens is a yellow one (cobra commander) from AliExpress.
Went on this site to try to find something like this. All I found were DSLR lens attachment thingies. Is there a good keyword to use when searching?

Looks good, though. Really pulls out the blues.

My camera is also mounted about a foot front he tank which might have something to do with it as well.

I used the Orphek kit on mine and it looks good. They suggest stacking the orange and red filters.

Ok I will try my best here to describe this accurately. This is using the WWC template for Radions so I will show the screenshot. You cannot see but all other colors are off except soft white at 10%. The missing part is going to be the definition when right on the tank.

I should clarify that using both filters makes an image where the goal is to show as close to what your eyes see as possible

I have sent out a few dozen of these mounts for the wyze camera. I have created the mount to hold a phone camera lens. I made it in both suction cup and magnetic versions.
