Long story short, by 4yo daughter woke up in a sleepy daze pacing her room afraid. Right before I walked in, she said “no.. no.. don’t record anything”. Clearly she was asleep still, but it was odd.
In the app, I was watching the video history to see if something woke her up, and as she was stirring in bed the camera tagged her as movement.. the audio in the recording cut out for a few seconds (completely blank) and then that’s when she got up pacing.
Does the Cam Pan v3 have some kind of voice that speaks through the camera to notify someone they are being recorded? When I googled it, I saw that some versions do, but not the Pan v3.. and there were no options in the settings on the app, but it was weird.
No. I think what you’re referring to is the “Motion Warning” feature of some Wyze Cams. For instance, in Cam v4’s Settings ➜ Detection Settings ➜ Motion Warning, it’s possible to enable that so that the camera plays a message like, “Hi. You are currently being recorded.” Cam Pan v3 has no such option, though I think someone was recently requesting that in another Forum topic.
Your description makes me think of night terrors, so I wonder if that’s what your daughter experienced. Without evidence to the contrary, I don’t think the camera produced voices that triggered this, and I hope that your daughter is okay and is able to sleep more peacefully.
Thank you for the response. I assumed as much, but I had seen some anecdotal postings, and I didn’t know if the cut in sound was the camera no recording it’s own sound. Figured I would check in to see if anyone else experienced this. We had been recording some goodnight videos (who is away for the evening) for her mom right before she went to sleep. I’ll just go with night terrors. Thanks again!
You’re welcome! Night terrors (or sleep terrors) can be freaky for the witness, so your use of “odd” and “weird” seem apt. Hopefully that’s just a transient thing for her and doesn’t disrupt her sleep long term. I hope the rest of your night is quiet!
Yes, night terrors are freaky. Both my daughters had them growing up but they go away as the kids grow up. When I asked their paediatrician way back, he told me that it is a normal occurrence as the brain develops. He also told me I should be worried if they didn’t experience any night terrors at all.
