- Let’s Take a Look at Some Previous Submissions -

:no_entry: Forum - Wyze Cam Pan v3 will not reconnect after it loses the connection :no_entry:

We are currently looking into the logs and MAC addresses we were given, but it never hurts to have more. If you haven’t sent one in and this is affecting you, can we please get the MAC address to check logs?

Please send your camera MAC (Wyze app > Livestream > Camera Settings > Device Info) in a support ticket through support.wyze.com and then provide the ticket number to us in this thread. We’ve been checking on the logs we have so far and will share more info when we have it!

:house: Reddit - Wyze Cam Pan v3 does not return to set home position :house:

We released a beta that is a step towards fixing the waypoint drift issue. This beta will not change the current experience, but will give us some data needed to get to that point. Thank you for your patience.

:floppy_disk: Reddit - Latest Wyze Cam Pan v3 firmware (or iOS app update) breaks microSD card button :floppy_disk:

We are still looking into the root cause of this issue. We will let you know when we have more information.

:man_beard: Discord - Facial Detection is not working on lots of cameras for people who have Cam Plus Unlimited :man_beard:

We believe it is now working as intended on Wyze Cam v3 and Wyze Video Doorbell v2. We are working on revamping things to create a better experience and will have more info later.

:film_strip: Forum - Thumbnail show not working consistently on Wyze Cam v3 cameras :film_strip:

Please send us some logs if this is still affecting you. Here’s the info for how to send them in:

Recreate the issue. Then in the Wyze app, go to Account > Wyze Support > Submit a Log. Select your device from the dropdown menu. Then fill in the description box with the date, time, and time zone of the most recent time you noticed this issue and a description of what’s happening. Make sure the Send Logs option is selected and then submit your log. When you have the log number, please post it and tag me so I can get it to the right folks.

:disappointed: Reddit - Unable to stream cameras in Google Home :disappointed:

The Google Home app not viewing live streams is a bug on the Google Home app and they’re working on it now. For Google Nest devices not viewing streams, please try re-pairing the connection between Wyze and Google Home. If that doesn’t work, please let us know by contacting support and opening a ticket as we will need to get your account info to troubleshoot further. After opening the support ticket, please post the ticket number here.

:angry: Reddit - Event playback in the app is stuttering :angry:

Thank you for your patience with this! Could you get us some more screen recordings to help us?

:flashlight: Discord - Wyze Cam v3 does not stay connected to the Spotlight accessory :flashlight:

We don’t have a further update for this one yet. We’ll let you know when a fix heads to QA!
