Have to power cycle (unplug, 15 second wait, replug) my camera rather consistently. This time twice within about a 6 hour period. Is there something I need to do to avoid this? Any info/tips would be appreciated. Thanks. ---

Maybe it’s related to these issues: [https://www.wyzecam.com/forums/topic/wyze-cam-pan-keeps-restartingresetting-on-its-own/](https://www.wyzecam.com/forums/topic/wyze-cam-pan-keeps-restartingresetting-on-its-own/) [https://www.wyzecam.com/forums/topic/reboot-and-no-connection/](https://www.wyzecam.com/forums/topic/reboot-and-no-connection/) Maybe the new firmware will fix it, but in the thread about the firmware early adopters have problems with the unit getting bricked. ---

It has gotten progressively worse after every firmware upgrade.
