Wow! Must be an iOS-specific peek. I donā€™t see that peek on any of my cams on my Android app. Network just lists current network.

I just saw it appear for a v3.

Today, Dec 21st, I updated Firmware to 4.52.9.4188 for my V4ā€™s only. (Other cams, OG Battery Pro, I do not )

I do not see the new feature to change PW even having same Firmware as habib. However, on my Pan V3 there is a shaded ā€œChangeā€ on the right, but it says ā€œI need to update device Firmware to use this feature. My firmware is currently 4.50.15.4800 . Maybe Pan3 isnt out yet?

Also as shown above for habib picture, My V4 shows same Firmware as your picture, but I do not have the shaded Change to the rightā€¦weird. Odd you see it and I dont for same Firmware, same camera.

Yes I have the same firmware as you but different plugin versionā€¦ 3.9.0.15

Iā€™m on Android with the latest version of the app and all firmware updates to the latest level.

Iā€™m a CamPlus unlimited subscriber.

Maybe a phase rollout thingā€¦.

Some can see whatā€™s coming if running the beta app and latest firmware, but no one can actually use it yet. Wyze is still developing the feature and it hasnā€™t even gone out for beta testing yet.

I shouldā€™ve been more specific when I said: ā€œAs a matter of fact that feature is coming with the next firmware update.ā€

I shouldā€™ve said; ā€œwith a future firmware update.ā€

Probably more like future firmware updates, app update and server changes.

Choose wifi network without reconnecting the camera

I have a multiple cameras and want to change the wifi password.

Currently there is no way to update the wifi network without re-registering the camera which is inconvenient

458

yes, you are correct. No way. Yes, you are correct, inconvenient. But you donā€™t have to delete them, just add them back. Iā€™d recommend shutting them down/pulling power before you begin.

I partially withdraw my comment.

Thereā€™s a new V3 firmware I received today which should have the ability to change the WiFi details without resetting the deviceā€¦

Did anyone try it out?

It works for me using Cam v3 firmware 4.36.16.5654 and Android app v3.10.5 (749).

I have tried to change the Wi-Fi network 7-different ways with no success. I have 4-cameras (in hard to access areas) to change out of my 12-cameras. Upgraded ALL camera firmwares. Using a Netgear Orbi with a built-in IoT network that most of my cameras are already on. Always fails to change. Obviously I know the SSID name and password. The IoT network was configured for 2.4Ghz+5Ghz and since everything works, I figured that shouldnā€™t be an issue. Nada. Since the CHANGE function kept barking about NOT working on 5Ghz, I changed the Orbi IoT to 2.4Ghz only. Still didnā€™t work. Tried it with my phone on the original network and the IoT network. Still doesnā€™t work.

Open to any suggestionsā€¦..

I donā€™t have any Cam v3s, but I tried it on a Cam Pan v3 and had success with that a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for the feedback, Iā€™ll give it a go at the weekend for a couple of cameras to see if it works.
