It’s Sept 2020 and this issue is happening to me as well but on an Echo Show, which leads me to believe it’s a Wyze issue.
This is happening on my Echo Show as well. Very annoying as I use it as a baby monitor and its almost unusable like this. 
I have an Echo Show and this “buffering every 5 seconds” issue is happening to me as well. What is the fix???
I have this buffering problem on my Wyze Cam v2 and Pan when streaming to my Amazon Echo Show.
The interesting part is that this problem seems to happen ONLY if the camera is currently on night vision mode.
It doesn’t have any buffering problems on my Echo Show if the infrared is either OFF or if set to AUTO and the room has enough light.
I got this camera to be used along with Echo Show as a baby monitor, but it is unusable with night vision with this buffering problem.

It is unusable because of their 15 minute limitation on the feed. The camera shuts off after a few minutes.
I will test the infrared theory though to see if I have the same result.

I just invested in the Wyze cam system and am sad to say this is an issue out of the box. I have integrated against Amazon Alexa and this buffering every few seconds issue is occurring on all my Fire TVs and Echo Spot. While I did pre-order outdoor cameras from Wyze as well, this may be a deal breaker and has me considering a return and going with an alternative. I can live without SmartThings integration, but only if the Alexa integration works.
I would love to have a couple echo shows to replace my echo dots.
But because of the issues posted in the forums I’ve held off buying them.
Following, hoping Wyze comes up with a solution.

Viewing my mailbox camera right now And after 10 sec, the video went straight to hell
Gwendolyn-
Wyze cameras are still buffering on the Amazon devices. I’ve been more than patient with this issue as are hundreds of people under this thread.
There are literally no updates on this since March 19th.
Why are you guys advertising that it works with Alexa devices when it doesn’t.
Why are we not receiving any answers on this?

Boys and girls if they haven’t fixed this for a year now then it’s time to turn up the complaining.
They don’t give us any other options. They went silent.
Take a video of your buffering and tweet it to the @Wizecam and start uploading the same video on Amazon Prime reviews of the product and give them a one star as the rating.
This is ridiculous.

I can confirm the issue only is occurring on the camera feeds while night vision is enabled. You can literally enjoy a feed for several minutes no issue, but as soon as you cut the lights off and it switches to night mode, bam buffering issue crops up. Turn the lights on, night mode turns off, buffering issue resolves.

Buffering constantly on FireStick 4k now. My Lenovo smart clock won’t even launch the cameras anymore. I don’t understand why this is so hard.
Same here. I just tried it. Night vision turned on buffers every 5 seconds. Without night vision I went several minutes. Fun.

I was so happy to see the firmware update tonight, in high hopes that the issue was fixed. Nope. Maybe it’s a “feature” in their backlog
i had no issues at all for the first week or two then all but one started doing the buffering routine on all the echo shows. the only one that works is the one that is furthest away from the echo units? it has actually gotten so bad over the past month i cannot use the shows with the wyze cams, it’s just pointless for now.
By chance was night mode off for the working camera and the buffering ones night mode was on?
I have the same issue with all of my echo show devices. When viewing from my phone on the same Wi-Fi network, I have no issue so this leads me to believe it is some thing likely to do with the Alexa skill.
Found the cause, but not resolution.
…I’ve seen this when the infrared is on. I saw another post about it and decided to try shutting of the night vision and the buffering went away on all my Echos: Show Gen I, Show 5 and Show 8. Something about the night vision causes an issue for the Echo displays.

Wyze techies, perhaps you now have a lead on a problem you should look into rather than not

Justed tested it with my Wyze Cam and my Echo Show. I can confirm that night vision causes buffering. Team Wyze. Please fix.
