Wyze Cam v3, Wyze Cam Pan v2, Wyze Cam OG, and Wyze Switch all have updates today! The Wyze Cam v3 and Wyze Cam Pan v2 updates are being released gradually. These improve video recording stability, video playing ability, connectivity, image quality, and updating along with other bug fixes like addressing Error Code 3001.
I just updated a v3 which previously had firmware 4.36.10.3406. So far AI is accurately tagging Persons. I will report back in a couple of days to see if the skipping / freezing video was fixed.
Is this v3 FW update the one that fixes the 90 gb limit on micro sd cards?
My V3’s are not on this new version yet - they are still on version 4.36.9.139.
I have 128 GB SD cards in all of them, and the app reports that there is 110.09 GB full out of 118.23 GB total capacity (they are all a bit different, but within 1 GB of these values).
Has anyone updated their Wyze Cam V3 to this new firmware? Especially those with floodlights? My V3s have been working pretty decently on Cam Plus Lite, so I don’t want to jeopardize them until I hear some positive feedback from others.
I updated one v3 camera to the new firmware and the skipping freezing video seems to be fixed. I have other v3 cameras on firmware 4.36.9.139 that say it is up to date. WyzeJasonJ in the first post did state it will be a gradual release. So far I am happy with this new v3 firmware. I am on CPL and no floodlights
yet over on reddit a new release is announced also
Wyze Cam v3 :
Version: 4.36.11.4073
What’s New:
Fixed a bug that caused Playback to skip the first minute of every hour
Fixed a bug that caused Playback to stutter for the first few seconds when opened
Added support for automatic updates
Due to the security improvement on this firmware, you will need to go through the factory reset process for your camera if you go back to firmware 4.36.9.139 or below.
This is confusing to have releases so close together, especially one that requires factory reset if it goes wrong.
Yes. All new versions of the firmware for most of the cams are requiring a factory reset if reverted back to older versions. The V3 started that with any 4.36.10.xxxx varieties. It has something to do with the new security protocols they put in the Firmware
i have 2 v3 pro cam and it might be a coinsidence but since the update the v3 pro smart ui detection no longer show on the recent event page but it records on the sd card. if i switch smart detect and put in on all motion event then it record to sd card as well but then it makes a note on the recent event page but since its on record all event and not the smart now it dont put the icon if its a car, person etc.
any one else have this happen ? or is there a setting im not aware of
I’m a bit confused. There is no V3Pro update in the releases announced by this thread. The last V3Pro Release was 4.58.0.3210 on December 12, 2022. There is, however, a current Beta FW being Tested for the V3Pro, v4.58.1.3468
I am running the Beta Firmware on a Cam Plus V3Pro and all Recent Events are showing in the Live Stream UI with the appropriate Smart AI tag icons. However, I always have mine set to Record All Motion, not limiting it to Smart AI recording only.
i must have mixed the firmware from my v3 then. not that i used the smart ai filter much was just something i tried when i got the v3 pro. i tend to also keep it on all motion and ajust the motion detection sensibility. i keep it at 50 dont really know how to set it right. dont want to set it to high so it dont catch everything lke a branch moving along but not to low so it dont catch a person walking by. whats a good in between ?
Completely dependant on the Field of View and distance at which you want it to trigger. Completely case use driven. I have mine on a tight FOV where there are no environmental conditions to cause false motion activations so I have it set to max.
I tried to update one of my v3s from 4.36.9.139 to 4.36.10.4054 and it went offline - restarting did not fix. I manually flashed back to 9.139 (again).
After this many firmware releases I’d think they would have firmware that could update itself without a bunch of rebooting and power cycles. Count on them becoming worthless if you aren’t standing next to them after trying to update.
I am pleased to report that the update to the latest greatest version (4.36.10.4054) went smooth on all of my v3 cameras except for one. I tried to update that cam 3 times with power cycles in between. I even performed a format on the uSD card in hopes that would shake things loose. I had no choice other than to flash that one manually. Oddly, it was one of my two camera on 4.36.10.3406. My five other v3s were still on the old (but rock solid) 4.36.9.139. All five of those cams updated without a hiccup. Even though 1 of my 7 cams had a problem, I am ecstatic that it went as smooth as it did.
