I’ve never had this before  
ERROR Code -1

Just happened this morning after it was OK for awhile then it popped up. I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix it. Sometimes it comes back but mostly not.

Yes, getting it when viewing a camera group.

At this point, it comes and goes. Sometimes it comes up fine sometimes I’m getting the error code. Not sure what’s going on.

Yesterday I did an update of apps as requested by Wyze. But this problem just started this morning. So far I have:

Rebooted Modem and Router  
Reinstalled the app

Tried connecting on different devices

Weird how it comes and goes. Not sure whose issue it is.

What App Version are you running? Not Firmware. The Hot Fix is a new Wyze App.

Seems rebooting iPhone fixes the issue however it does come back randomly. I have 7 cams in a group and sometimes as you swipe up or down it says “loading live stream” some load immediately some take 10 to 20 seconds. If i choose to expand a cam it shows the image from earlier in the day and stays like that until you swipe or close and expand again. I am going to try deleting the cam group and just leave it as individual devices.

Let me throw my hat in the pool. An hour ago I updated the app to 2.38.3.(3) on my iPhone. All five cameras sporadically connect and come back with Error: Code-1). Thankfully I did not update the app on my iPad and that is running fine. At least for me, the culprit is the latest version of Wyze app for iOS.

EDIT: Looks like the app is not communicating with cameras at all as I don’t get notifications anymore.

5 - V3 cams in group error code -1 all day from about 1030am 1/6/23. Was 35 miles away and my simplisafe notified me of door opening but wyze cameras all error -1. Off and on all day. I realize these are not true security cams but they should at least work - right? Sent in multiple logs. Hopefully this gets fixed soon or I will be buying a different brand of cameras to monitor house and rental properties.  
Edit - I tried force restarting multiple times. I tried deleting group and they all still did error -1. Recreated group and did not fix.

I also continue to get this issue. I also find even my non grouped cams now have worse connection issues with the app, even after cycling both cams and phone.
