Battery was at about 18%. Started recharging at about 9am. Still charging (light flashing) at 11 pm. It is supposed to charge a 0% battery in 4 hours, and the light is supposed to stop flashing. Is this normal to take so long???

I believe that @Mikebinder82 and @Bam are on the mark about using a pc USB port. It does usually provide a lower and inconsistent charge level. Just FYI, a Wyze Pan Cam adapter provides 2 amp, a V2 only 1 amp. The recommended is the base charger or equivalent at 2 amp. Next time you need to recharg…

Greetings, Oh…I didn’t even know about recharging by using the Base Station. I see the USB port. Thanks, next time I have to recharge it, I’ll give it a try. Much thanks… Gary

FYI: The specification for computer USB ports is to deliver 5V @ 500mA on USB Versions 1.0 & 2.0. In 2008 USB 3.0 deliver 5V @ 900mA. Dedicated charger port (DCP) serve as a USB charger, delivering currents of 1,500mA and higher. To activate the DCP, the D- and D+ pins are internally connected b…

Mine also charged forever the first time, even with a 2 amp charger. It never stopped blinking, but said 100%, so I continued with setup. Since then, many charges, it has done very quick. I was also using it as a time lapse since I could not get motion detection to work. The last update got the moti…

[image] woodyk34: about 10 feet, tops, with a person. is that with the sensitivity ALL the way up? and silly but its not through a window or screen correct? no barriers to the person

Yes, that is straight to the person, no glass or anything but air between. Wish it was twice or more that. I’ve tested many times, that is what it is, unless somehow they can make the detection stronger. Got hope… Woody

I bought the outdoor cam mainly for time lapses, but just tonight I set it up to hopefully capture some neighborhood squirrels I’m working on training (yes I’m a bit of a kook) so this will give me a chance to set up the detection and see how much I can play around with the sensitivity. Shoot us so…

Greetings, Ok…time to recharge the Outdoor Cam. It was at about 24%. I plugged it into the Base and it started to charge and the red light on the Outdoor Cam started to flash. The red light stopped flashing at 33%. But I see the phone app now is at 42%, so it seems to be continuing to charge…but th…

Variation on the red light problem… I have 3 Outdoor Cams using 2 separate base stations. One of them is currently at 31% charged. It is not plugged in, but the red light is on solid. Does anyone know what that means? The camera continues to function normal. I first noticed the red light on when the…

Hi @paule and welcome to the community. The red light should only be on when plugged in and charging. Let the camera run down to between 20% and 10% where you should get a push notification that says, “Low Battery. Unable to live stream.” Then charge the camera for 4~6 hours regardless of red lig…
