So I got a Wyze v4 (4K) camera to keep an eye on my tank. A few issues. One is I can't get it to just stay on the aquarium, it wants to be smart and follow me around the room. Two, the lighting is totally blown out with the lights on! How are people dealing with this??

Also, the v4 does not seem to be compatible with the avid mounts. :(

I use the Avid mount with the V4 camera. It fits for me. Up against the tank you dont get the blown out lighting you are showing in your pic. I don't use the filter that comes with the Avid Aqua mount. My picture is blue but not enough to keep me from seeing what I want to see.

The camera square of the cam didn't seem to fit into the box... maybe I should try harder...
 
I think I have a different v4. I go the pan version because it was 4K resolution. And I don't think this version fits the adapter - I also don't think the camera can separate from its pedestal!
