All this smart home tech is new and buggy. Check out any competitions forum, you will see the same stuff.
Its annoying, and everyone could do a better job, but if companies didn’t sell buggy stuff, they could never fix the bugs.
I hear you loud and clear my friend. I have been in the forefront of technology since the eighties, and I alway had a problem with software/hardware companies. I could not, and still not fathom how they can survive by releasing buggy software and hardware? I’m guessing by people like me and you who keep on buying their crappy products. If they were an automotive company and released a car with faulty brakes and people start dying (not that it hasn’t happened), someone will get a notice and put the stop to it. I’m not saying that software/hardware bugs are as bad as faulty brakes on a car, but I think you catch my drift and something needs to happen to stop the trend.
I’m all about affordable technology, but to what extent.
Oh, God, I think I took this post to totally new level… 
At least the 
haven’t done this to you cams yet. Great video in the “Captured on WYZE” section of the forum posted from a few months ago.:
Reset your modem and/or router remotely if they have this feature.
Before you change any of the hardware, try switching two cameras and see whether the problem moves with the “broken” camera or stays with the cord and power supply.

That’s funny. All we know, they dragged my camera somewhere out of reach
The modem/router are on a smart plug scheduled to reboot every morning at 3:00 AM.
That was my plan as well
I have a V3 that was doing the same thing. It went offline and resetting my modem/router did not help. Cycling the power puts the V3 online. However, in less than a day, it will go offline. After this happened several times, I removed/deleted the V3 and reinstalled it. So far so good after a week now. Something to think about when you go visit your place.

I was thinking the same thing. I’ll get on the ladder and reset the darn thing. I hope the raccoons won’t move the ladder as an act of revenge
Not sure if this helps, but i had two of them stop working the same day and with the same error message. They are hard wired and turning the pwer off at the panel did nothing. The app wouldn’t let me restart it and when i deleted one to reinstall , it wouldn’t do or say anything when pressing the little button during the instal procedure. No lights on either camera. Wyze is sending me two new ones. No idea what the issue is, but very odd they went bad on the same day when only about a month old. Good luck
Thanks. I’m thinking maybe the camera just got fried for some reason. Maybe when I activated the siren a jolt of power did something. We won’t know until I get there…
Force close the app that always fixes anything that goes wrong with connection issues.
Not this time my friend
Ugh sorry that’s usually a fix for me keep us updated on what happens I always like to know everything I can about the camera
I will definitely do my friend, but it won’t happen until sometime next week. I’m six hours away from the camera
Sounds good… safe travels.
Thanks, and just a friendly advise. Wyze as a company and all of their products are fairly new, one might say in their infancy stage. Be prepared to go above and beyond of a “force close”. You might want to invest in some smart plugs in case you need remote HARD shut down. FYI, “Force close” only works on Android. Anyone else on iOS does not have that option as the apps on iOS as soon as you close them they go into “force close” mode. They get wiped out of memory. Something to think about.
That’s funny you say that because I had an iPhone that I was going to switch to from my Android phone and there was no way to close the app like I can on my Android phone so I never went with iOS. Lol
Remember, Apple as a company has been around waaaay longer than Google. As a matter of fact one of the Google founders is a former Apple employee. I think (and that is only my opinion) that Apple will make a bit more stable app/hardware ecosystem as it is tightly integrated. Remember Windows/DOS days with multiple hardware issues?
