The V3 Firmware was halted for “Event Recording Issues” on Nov. 10
I haven’t been following the V2 updates closely because I don’t have any. However, I do recall the same issues previously occuring with the V2 and the PanV1 when they pushed firmware with the newly developed “Edge AI” in it. One can only speculate, but I have my suspicions.
If I hadn’t written about this today how was I to know that I am on a version that was halted? I’m not sure what that even means. Is there a way to get back on the previous stable version?
Without reading it here, or on the Firmware Notes page you would never know. If you updated during the short time it was available for update download before being paused, then you have it.
The only option short of waiting it out is to manually flash back your firmware to the last known stable version available for download here:
It is all documented in the “Wyze News” section of the forum. I was just being silly in the above post with SlavSlayer. If you are on 4.36.6.139, fear nothing my friend, you are in good hands. If you are on a newer one give a minute and I’ll fish out the info for you.
I have updated my two v3 cameras to the latest version 4.36.10.3406 and the issue seems to be completely fixed on one of my cameras, but the other camera is still recording a very short pause (less than a second) about 4 seconds in.
This has been an issue for several months. Does not matter user device, iOS or Android, motion clips always have a few sec pause. Very annoying and you end up missing things.
Just watch the YT channel “Speed Bump Olympics”, that person posts compilations clips from their Wyze cams each week, nearly all the clips for the last several months have the pausing issue.
I just tested 5 of my Cam V3, all running 4.36.10.3406, on both Event Video replay and microSD Playback. Android 11 App version 2.38.1.161
I cannot reproduce any pause in video on any cam from either source. However, many Event Video and microSD Playback issues are subject to WiFi and ISP variables.
One possible difference in my settings is that I have Enable Hardware Decoder toggled on in Account → App Settings.
