This evening, my Pan Cam V2 rebooted twice in 5 minutes, and auto-updated to the latest firmware version 4.49.14.3137 that was released on 4/16/2025. I have an SD card in all cameras, and I checked the SD card recordings, and there is an exact 1 minute gap at exactly 6:38pm, and then an exact 3 minute gap at exactly 6:40pm, which are the 2 times that it rebooted.
I have one Pan Cam V2, and multiple of each of the following camera types: V2, V3, V4, OG, and Pan Cam V3, and only the V3 has a firmware auto-update option, which I long ago turned off.
The latest firmware contains the “Security Update Wyze SightSafe” feature.
The firmware update worked, but I’m not sure why it rebooted twice with exactly 1 minute of live online time between reboots.
There is no firmware auto-update option for the Pan Cam V2, but it auto-updated tonight anyway.
I generally wait a while before updating the firmware on my devices. It seems to still be working properly, but it is concerning that it auto-updated without my permission. There is nothing that says that this firmware update is mandatory, that will be forced out to our cameras.
Has anyone else had a firmware update forced to a camera, on the Pan Cam V2, or any other camera lately?
Will firmware updates be forced out to my other cameras, even those that have an auto-update option that I have turned off?
