only Wyze Cam I can use is the Duo Cam has Video and Pics .. the rest I can’t connect to live view.. only records pics no Video on SD card like it used to .. Cam v3 V4 . Cam Pan /V3.. They All used to work ..
I have 2 that bricked. Had the flashing purple light. I think this is a major flaw and should be replaced even after the 1 year warranty.
Wyze Cam Pans and Cam V3 were new .. after an update I no longer can get to the live feed to use the PTZ ..
or access settings… other than view the capture pics which most of the time false detections.
Are you running the latest app version? A lot of the newer firmwares have a minimum app version in order to work with the new security protocols.
Had better luck with $12.00 cameras from Temu
Not to worry. Wyze is introducing the Wyze Solar-Powered Rectal Thermometer with Pan and Tilt. Wyze has promised that the software and hardware are as reliable and proven as the rest of their product line.
I have a marketing slogan for your product idea. “Its solar powered and works where the sun don’t shine”.
Looks like someone forgot to donate to Consumer Reports! I must be super lucky. With 29 cameras and a bunch of other things from Wyze like switches, plugs, locks, doorbells and just about everything else they make; I’ve only had one device die on me over the years, a V2 camera. I even had a floodlight take a massive hit from a flying umbrella and although one of the flood lights was severed, the camera and the other flood lights still work perfectly. Not much to complain about for the price except for the vacuum and the palm lock. The vacuum needs a longer battery life and the Palm lock needs to read your palm better in direct sunlight.
Paulo - Yep, I’m another happy camper. I have a couple of dozen Wyze cameras and stuff and they just work like they are supposed to. I think over the years I’ve had a 2 older cameras die. But considering that they live outside 24/7 and they are several years old and they cost (back then) about $20, that’s not bad. I feel sorry for the folks on this forum having problems with their cameras, and I thank those smart folks who are trying to help them.
I have one of the Floodlight v2 models. Nothing but trouble with disconnection since I got it. I’d have to power-cycle it sometimes within days of the last event. I researched, poured over these forums and found many discussions that mirrored my own experiences. After the last incident, I wrote to Wyze and told them I was through with the camera and the company. The AI response I got and the “escalation” got me nothing until I threatened to quit Wyze completely. Then I went through removing the SD card, sending in logs. Was told their engineers were looking. Finally, they said they were still looking, but offered me $15 in credit for the store as a sign if “good faith.” Never an update from the engineers. Then about a week later, the first firmware update in months suddenly appeared. Downloaded and installed. Haven’t had any problems since. Go figure.
