You mentioned using an iPad, so I wondered if you updated your Cam Pan v3’s firmware while using an iPadOS device running a newer Wyze app version. 
I do, too. Lately I’ve been considering OS options for a couple of old laptops that don’t officially support Windows 11 now that regular support for most Windows 10 channels has been discontinued. The desktop PC I use most frequently was originally delivered with Windows XP Pro (downgraded from Vista Business), and I ran Vista on that for as long as could before switching to Linux. 
You didn’t mention what other Cams you’re using, so I can only speculate that they’re older models and/or using older firmware. I also think that at one point they removed Cam Pan v3’s Automatic Update toggle in its app settings—because I think I had Cam Pan v3s automatically update their firmware several months ago—and then apparently returned that feature. Hopefully you can keep that toggled off and avoid some future headaches.
Another thing to keep in mind is Wyze’s continued security improvements, and I think a lot of those have to do with VerifiedView. Some older Cams are unlikely to see firmware updates that incorporate this, and Wyze announced in their blog that older app versions (and potentially Cams) are unlikely to be supported at some point.
Good to know!
You added that while I was responding, but I want to go ahead and state a few things to keep in mind when flashing in case it could help someone else reading this:
- The article that Wyze links from the Release Notes & Firmware page that seems like it should be about flashing firmware actually points (as of this writing) to an article about checking a Cam v3’s firmware version and using the regular in-app update. I’ve asked if that could be change to point to “How to flash your Wyze Cam firmware manually” but haven’t seen action on this.
- The “How to flash your Wyze Cam firmware manually” article used to advise users in several places to copy a “folder” to the root directory of the microSD card being used to flash a Cam, but it’s important to instead copy the relevant
.binfile to the card. It looks like Wyze has finally updated that article within the past month or so, though some confusing mentions of “folder” still appear to exist. - The advice to use a 32 GB (or smaller) card formatted in FAT32 is important. I’ve consistently had flashing failures when trying to use larger cards (formatted exFAT by default), even when I’ve forced a FAT32 format onto them. Flashing attempts with a 32 GB card (I haven’t yet tried anything smaller because I haven’t had one convenient) have yielded better results.
You’re welcome! Thanks for taking the time to post an update!
