Please add the ability to restart the Base Station from the Wyze App. When you are away, it would be helpful to have the ability restart it if you are having trouble viewing a camera. Thank you.
[Mod Edit]: 13AUG2022 - Title and tags modified to be more inclusive and to enhance search clarity. This wishlist topic covers the ability to restart both the Wyze Cam Outdoor Cam and Base Station via the app.
Not a bad idea. While you are waiting, another method is to put the Base on a smart Plug. I have most all my cameras on smart Plugs in case of emergency while I’m away. Guess I need to add one to my Base now too!
I would like to see remote reboot of the base station which my former camera vendor Arlo supports.
When my outdoor cameras with Camplus subscription were not able to detect objects and I was not able to get authenticated to see live events, I had to drive to get into my house to reboot the base station. Rebooting the base station restores cam outdoor features.
I have three outdoor cameras connected to my base station. Every few weeks, my bese, for some reason, is going offline. The only way to restart the base is manually unplugged it from the power. It is easy while I’m home, but if I’m out, I can’t do anything to get my cameras back online;(
I believe if the base station had a remote restart, that would solve my problem!
I have no problem resetting the base station when I am home and can unplug it. My problem is if I’m away on vacation for three weeks and the base station loses connection there’s no way to reboot it without physically being there. If I lose connection several days after I leave for vacation then I’m left weeks without coverage with my three outdoor cameras. This seems to be a MAJOR flaw in your system which you should fix immediately. I’m sure I’m not the only one who relies on security camera coverage while away for extended periods of time.
I want the ability to restart Wyze outdoor cameras (v2 & v1) from within the application (as with the normal cameras).
The WOCs are often placed in inaccessible locations (with solar panels) making it difficult to manually restart them.
The WOC v1 appears to charge appropriately from solar panel.
The WOC v2 I have does not (it charges very slowly / not at all). This might be power consumption while charging preventing net gain. I have an EE background so spare me any recommendations.
It does appear to charge correctly after restarting (one time) for some length of time (>+20% charge in one day). I want to test this theory.
Restarting it as part of a camera group does not appear to work (or do anything for that matter as the camera is immediately live view accessible).
So I want some other way to restart it.
I have the same issue, constantly having to restart the base station, which is impossible when away from home. The temporary fix using a Wyze plug is a good one (thanks), so I’ll try that (when I get home in a few weeks). In the meantime I hope they are working on the remote reboot for the base station and outdoor camera.
