All of a sudden, my cameras are all disconnecting and saying off-line, but my Wi-Fi is on please help
Have you tried rebooting your modem and router?
Same. Been going on for awhile now and I can’t figure out why. Only solution I have found is to flip the breakers they are tied to off and on. Sometime it works for a day, sometime a week but they always go “offline” then I flip breakers and they work again until they decide to not work anymore.
Only a couple of mine do that and have done all of the troubleshooting to no avail. The pan v4 goes off line daily. It seems really finicky.
I cut the power to every one of my powered/wired camera for 5-minutes a day via WiFi plugs. I then have automation rules in place to reboot the cameras twice per day. Sometimes I drop one of those reboots and go with one reboot per day, but most of the year I do two. Setting all of this up resolved many of the issues I was experiencing with my WYZE cams.
With that said, should this be required? It’s safe to say, absolutely not! However if you’re like me, once invested you’ll do whatever it takes to get that investment to work for you.
This started happening to me today. I went to close\open my garage door, & the cam3 didn’t show live stream, therefore couldn’t use the cam to close\open my garage door! After coming back home, I noticed almost all of my cameras say “failed to connect.. Error: (code 23). They are recording to the cloud, but not doing a live stream!
This is getting old Wyze! What have you done to us now. And it’s not just cuz of my network, as the 2 cameras at the office, 2 miles away, are doing the same thing. 1 is a v3, the other pan v3.
First it’s all of my Cam Pan v3’s on the same day quit recording to the sd cards, others had same problem & it’s not been fixed, & now on same day, almost all cameras are failing to connect.
Cams that are still recording & showing live feed (in other words, working) are My older pan2, cam v2, the OG telephoto, & OG cams
Tell me more about the WiFi plugs and automations! Like you said. I’m already invested and don’t want the hassle and expense of switching over so I need a solution.
There are several manufacturers that make WiFi plugs including WYZE. With that said, the WYZE plugs are on the more expensive side.
Basically a WiFi plug has the ability to turn any regular outlet into a smart outlet. Meaning you can apply or remove power from that outlet via an app. You can configure schedules and automations as well. I use my plugs to power cycle my WYZE cameras once per day. Doing so has helped with the stability and reliability of my WYZE cameras.
I had same problem after it has been working fine for a long time ,I had to move my camera more inline with my wifi modem and all is working great now
I have a bunch of older KASA mini HS 105 and HS 103 smart plugs connected to all my plug in camrera, they work great but there are newer models available.
I have 23 cameras and don’t reboot any of them.
Troubleshoot your network. Either the signal is weak or you have something configured in the network that is causing the issue.
The cameras work great in proper network conditions.
If you haven’t gotten a new cable modem in awhile (3-5 years?} or a network router, you probably need a new one.
If you are using the cable company router as your WIFI, ditch that and get a modern one.
mine do it all the time, I usually see an option to submit a ticket in my browers but never hear anything once submitted. usually turning them off , unplugging manually or clearing cache in broweser seem’s to help at times also.
