Why is my new cam v3 making a constant recurring grinding noise when I listen to it on playback or live? I don’t hear the noise in the environment when I stand near the cam. It has to be coming from the camera itself. But why? And how do I fix it?

Nothing outside. No breeze. No clocks. Nothing. The noose happens constantly, rhythmically, endlessly regardless …

Nothing mechanical ( some internal pics of a v3 from @carverofchoice ) but I suppose you couldn’t rule out some electrical emissions/cross waves. Do you have anything else connecting wireless with video and sound (not through your router or Internet) in your home like a baby monitor that has a base …

Good thought. I have a Phillips Hue hub and about 10 smart led bulbs, motion detectors and dimmers that can communicate with it on demand. Is it possible that system does some sort of cyclical messaging between the hub and the Phillips Hue bulbs and accessories going on in the background constantl…
