Why doesnt my blue light on my wyze camera work anymore but the camera works fine?
Welcome to the Wyze User Community Forum @hammer7871!
Do you have the Camera Status Light setting toggled on in Advanced Settings?
where do i find that?
Open the cam into live stream
Gear settings icon top right
Advanced settings about half way down.
Ok it says the light is on but it is not on maybe it burnt out?
I suppose it is possible although I have not heard of that happening.
With that toggle on, does the light come on at all when you power cycle the cam?
no it doesnt and i have tried it multiple times.
Sounds like a malfunction then.
Contact Customer Support to inquire about a warranty replacement if it is a function you need.
I have all my status lights disabled, so I wouldn’t be able to tell if they are working or not.
The light on my Wyze Can Pan stoped working about a month after I got it… was Nov. 2018 so it’s well out of warranty. Camera status light is on in the app. Camera has always worked so I never worried about light not working.
I sort of feel the same way. I have all my status lights off anyway because I don’t want them broadcasting their presence.
But, for some it is important to see when the cam is being live streamed.
4 yrs later, I’m here to report the Blue LEDs definitely fail prematurely. I’ve lost them on two now.
Blue has the shortest lifespan of the LED colors. It is actually pretty incredible we even have them, it took something like 20 years for them to figure out how to make them and they’re quite complex.
Obviously there are ones that last longer than others, but they probably aren’t the best choice for something that is on 24x7x365. But since they were so rare an expensive for so long, once they got cheap all the electronics manufacturers started using them as they looked cool and different.
