My pan cam sounds like a woodpecker when it pans. anyone else?

I have not experienced that, but your post makes me think of this: [image] Wyze app 2.41 - 4/18/2023 Wyze News Woody notification sound for you. rofl Is this sound a recent development? What additional detail can you share (like is the camera outside and…

Yes mines been doing it for months. Have another one that is quiet. They say it’s normal but fail to explain why one does it and another does not. It’s not normal and needs to be replaced but seems it’s not going to happen so I may just cancel all my subscriptions along with the Condo complex that u…

[image] j71m79: Don’t say there’s a warranty if you’re not going to honor it. I doubt you’ll find a section in the warranty where it says it covers noises on an otherwise functional cam. Now if it doesn’t pan smoothly or binds up, etc, then you have a case. One possibility is that dirt/san…

Noise that doesn’t show up until months after the camera was installed is not normal and will eventually lead to failure as I’ve already found post across the web about. It actually has a small judder when turning but isn’t picked up on video. I can’t afford to have a non working camera 2000 miles …

Wyze products are disposable like Bic Lighters… They’re not designed to last much beyond warranty. They sell a cheaply priced cam that’s hobbled without a subscription, because their profits are made from the subscription services

I don’t disagree that it is abnormal, I’m just saying that from a warranty perspective, it is doubtful they’re going to consider the noise enough to warrant replacement if it isn’t impacting the core functionality, even if it might in the future. Now if you can show that the camera is not moving sm…

The 6 in the IP rating means it’s as dustproof as it can be. So in all essence, yes it’s dust proof. Like I said if it’s not meant to be outside, especially in a semi protected enviroment without issues caused by splashes of water or what little dust is in the air, the IP rating seems totally bogus …

However the “5” denotes something along the lines of “very water resistant” and not fully water proof. On top of that, I suspect when upside down, it is no longer IP65 from my experience. It is the water that causes dust and dirt to track into the camera through the rotating base, especially when …

It doesn’t matter what the position the camera is in to receive the IP rating. That’s not how that works. Shouldn’t matter how it’s mounted. If it does it needs to state that somewhere and, like previously said, the IP rating needs to be reevaluated. I’m not looking for anyone in the forum to do any…

Definitely not the Same IP65 rating other manufacturers follow, By definition of IP65 look it up, Wyze cams are not IP65 but those who drink too much Wyze Kool aid think Wyze is the best :rofl: And will make up exceptions for the camera, Sorry but exceptions are not part of IP ratings.
