This issue has been resolved with the app released 8/8/23
on another device that is not yet updated to this version it is still an issue
Agreed! The 8/8/23 app release fixes the setup issues on my Pixel 6 Pro running Android 13. 
Hey guys, for me the live steam never loads automatically, I always have to click on Play.
Additionally, it seems like it takes a long time for the video to appear when I click on Play (6-10 seconds). I have Power Saving Mode turned OFF. IOS version 2.44.1 (1). Firmware 1.3.16.1420. Am I missing something?

Already noted above:
Thank you. Is the plan to implement auto streaming via software update in the future? If not Iām not clear on what the power saving mode toggle really does.
Yes, that is the purpose of the Power Saving Mode toggleā¦ to automatically stream when toggled off. It appears to be a bug when toggled off and Battery Cam Pro is in a cam group.
Thank you. How about the delay in loading the live streamā¦when I click on Play or tap on the camera. Usually 5-12 seconds. Sometimes it says the device is offline but when I click on refresh it works. Happening on both my iPhone 13 and my Samsung Galaxy 23.

I experience the delay also. Hopefully, Wyze can tweak something to decrease the load time.
I think thatās due to the camera waking up.

Probably, but itās slower to wake up than WCO v1/v2.

I got the camera hooked up to the Wyze solar panel and the sun is shining on the panel. Should there be a visual indication that the camera is charging? All I see is the battery indicator but no lightning bolt symbol or similar.
This was actually covered in the AMA and I am not sure we can tweak to speed it up more.
It takes about 7 seconds to receive the first frame. This is because the camera canāt pre-authenticate a livestream connection. That is usually done on base stations due to the camera entering a power-saving sleep mode when the stream is not being viewed. This makes the livestream take 1-2 seconds longer to receive the first frame compared to our Wyze Cam Outdoor

Is there any way to get the camera to NOT go into a battery saving sleep mode, like your non-battery powered cameras? Say, if youāre connected to a solar panel or other USB power source and battery saving isnāt that critical?
To answer my own question, it looks like the BCP does not show any indication when itās being charged, by solar at least. Had it hooked up to the solar panel for a few hours and it went from 91% to 100% but never showed a charging symbol.
I also use the solar panel on my 2. They donāt show them charging but youāll see it go up.
I also turned off the power saving and my cams do stream. But there is a hit to the battery. The solar panel does get it back up to full though.

I just looked to see how fast they load. One connects in about 5 seconds. The other takes almost 12. But thereās a network error on the second one, so it adds to the time. I might reset that one and see if it makes it better. This is with the power saver off. HTH

The camera (I believe) will not go into stand-by if plugged in to power (not solar), I have not done this to actually test that.

Thanks! If thatās the case it would be nice to extend this functionality to solar at the userās discretion.
I agree with Resist re the wording. I thought this meant that BatCamPro had even better night time vision than a V3 and it does not. I have to turn on the IR lights to get a gray scene, just like with a V3.
Iām probably returning my BatCamPro because of this, plus the red IR illuminators that come on upon motion detection, thus giving away the cameras location to perps (the built-in white LED makes it even more obvious**), poor wifi range***, and last but not least, battery life. (31% to 19% in 2 days with very little activity or watching)
BTW, on my V3s, I use the ānearā infrared lighting, so itās invisible to perps, and it illuminates my outdoor scene just fine, even beyond 30ft. The BatCamPro has no ānearā infrared lighting. Bummer.
No wait, another reason for returningā¦ no Cam Plus Lite.****
Plus the slow load time.
** yes, I disabled the white LED light.
*** I have a number of V3s that are over 50ft away from the nearest AP, one is inside a metal bldg !
**** I went to enable the free 14 day trial of Cam Plus and to my surprise, it listed my wifeās email address and her paypal as payment method. WTH?!!! I see that CP goes thru GooglePay and you have to go thru that to cancel after 14 days. I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH GOOGLE or GOOGLEPAY. Yet another reason why this is all in a box going back to Wyze TODAY.
According to the Camera Status Light Guide there should be a battery level indicator light on the camera, but plugging it in shows nothing. Only see a light indicator on the battery when itās removed from the camera and plugged in. Is the Quick Start Guide Wrong or is my Camera defective? Because seems like the battery is not charging while in the camera.
