Outdoor cam motion detect delay

I have an indoor/outdoor Cam v3 wired camera. It used to start the 12 seconds when motion first detected. Now it doesn’t start recording until well after motion is detected. I see the cat leaving but not coming to the porch. Help!!

When you go To live video, you notice a few second delay. So, I am thinking that the camera is not activated until it sees motion or you open it from the app. You also notice a few second delay at night between when you walk up to it and when the IR lights go on.

I believe the camera is not recording until a few seconds after motion is detected; probably to save battery. I have videos showing new animal tracks in the snow but never see the animal. Unfortunately for me, this is making the camera useless.

I see Wyze has now removed the 12 sec playback and gives you a stil image only and if you want playback you now have to pay… F that

You don’t have to pay. You choose your price, including free.
