Prior to USB-C PD being released, Qualcomm had “Quick Charge” which was proprietary. Similar to PD, it will only deliver the increased voltage if the device supports it (there is a negotiation/validation when you plug it in). With a Wyze cam and most other devices, it will only put out 5 volts.
Nah, that’s not how it works 
Voltage only increases if something specifically switches and tells it to, it can’t “sense” a voltage.
I think dialup is better than hughes.
Just to clarify the fluctuating satellite/cellular signal affects your internet speed, but it won’t change the wifi signal at all.

Here’s a maybe by-the-way or maybe related. Both of these v3 Pro cams had recently spontaneously stopped recognizing any events at all. A “Reset Services” on both got that working again.
Well, actually, I turned off the Detection Zones on both of them at the same time. Not sure if that’s what fixed them or if it was the Reset Services. I should be more methodical in my troubleshooting.

Trial and error is always good.

FWIW I have this exact same problem with my Pan Cam v3. So do with that what you will.
I didn’t mean to imply that, I was just pointing out that sat/cel signal drastically fluctuates and can cause issues with camera connectivity.
Also FWIW, I’ve had issues with my v4s going through periods where they don’t detect anything either. I restart them manually once a day now to give myself the best odds of not having these problems. I would use the automation to do daily rolling restarts for them, but when I set that up, the restart automation only worked about 50% of the time. If I were running a system with 10-20+ cameras I’d prolly be much more annoyed lol.
Hmm, only one of my two v4’s is set up for detections/notifications, but it’s been pretty steady. And my dozen or so regular v3’s have all been reasonably reliable. The two battery cams not so much, they’re there mostly for show.
Literally all four of my v4s and the pan cam v3 have all had issues where they just aren’t detecting events for however long at a time. If I wasn’t neurotic and in a new neighborhood right now checking my cameras every 30 minutes I’d probably not notice, but I’m catching it often enough at this point that I kinda feel like these cameras NEED to be constantly monitored if they’re going to provide any kind of actual protection.
Your description points to a wifi or internet connectivity issue. A solid, reliable connection is needed for event detection and notifications especially if you are using smart detections.
I have fiber internet, and a mesh fiber router with 3 nodes spread over a 1k square foot house. No camera is more than 6 feet away from a node. It’s 100%, unequivocally not my internet, I also kinda fail to understand how that was your takeaway considering I said restarting the device fixes the issue and it starts detecting again. Undercover Wyze employee?
Good luck then.

Lol people think they’re smart until they aren’t, and then all of a sudden they have nothing to say. Good luck to you too!
I see you just recently joined and already started making enemies. You just closed the door to help from one of the most knowledgable members around here. Welcome to the forum.

If this person’s initial response to my comment was a blanket attempt to blame my internet, I don’t want their help. My network was setup and is actively maintained by a Senior Technician at Geek Squad who’s been with the company, actively doing network installation, diagnostics, and repairs, for 30 years. He also did the initial install on the cameras. and has been here for every step of the Wyze journey with me so far. Oh, he’s also my WoW raid leader lol, but that’s neither here nor there. Point being, I didn’t come here to make enemies, but if I did that’s ok. I just didn’t accept Dave’s layman explanation because I know, for a fact, that it’s not accurate. Couple my issues with the fact that many, many Wyze users report the exact same problems, and it becomes pretty clear, pretty quickly that occam’s razor suggest the fault here is with Wyze, not the end user.
If you want to call me an enemy for speaking plainly, that’s cool. I’ll accept that and the “repercussions” that come with it.
Good luck to you too, friend!
Wow. That must be expensive.
And apparently completely wasted money. A Sr. Tech at Geek Squad, LOL.

Someone need to come up with a home network tester with 4 lights only.
- Yeah, you’re network has issues.
- Wyze cam faulty.
- Try again tomorrow.
- All is swell. Call support if you have issues.
I am amazed that we all have the same cams and same firmware but the local network is not ever the problem. 
And since step 1 in solving a problem is admitting you have one…
Whatever, this finally motivated me to use the “ignore” feature (and retroactively go back and toss a few others in there too).
