Can I use Amazon Alexa to put my camera in Privacy Mode?

No, but you can use Wyze Automations to put it in Privacy Mode!

While you can’t use your Amazon Alexa or other third-party integrations to have your Wyze Cam Pan v3 enter or exit Privacy Mode, you can use an automation to do the same thing.

Note: When creating this automation, Privacy Mode won’t be an option. Instead, you’ll want to select “Turn on the camera” or “Turn off the camera”.

To create this automation:

  1. In the Wyze app, tap Home, then tap the plus sign + on the top right.
  2. On the Add menu, tap Automation > Shortcut.
  3. Name your Rule (try "Privacy mode") then tap Add Action.
  4. Tap on your Wyze Cam Pan v3.
  5. Check the box next to “Turn off the camera”, then tap Save.
  6. Tap Save.

This automation will make your Wyze Cam Pan v3 turn off and face downward, just like Privacy Mode. You can create another automation to turn the camera back on using the same process above, but choosing "Turn on the camera" instead.
