the page shows the version numbers but no links to download the FW. I tried from PC and mobile phone (android).
I have been going in circles with all Wyze Cam support pages for manual FW updates that seem to point to the webpage above for downloading the FW but I find place where I can download it. Can someone please point me to where the FW can be found? I specifically want the FW version 4.58.16.5654 (February 2, 2026) because the March update has broken two of my v3pro cams spot light feature, and yes , i have tried all the trouble shooting for this issue, and a factory reset. I’m at the point of needing to perform a manual FW update. I worked with support team and sent them logs and they cannot find the issue.
That model does not officially support manual firmware upgrade. If you contact support, you might be able to get them to send you a file or even update it remotely if you provide the MAC address.
Wyze has removed firmware downloads for some cameras lately and we aren’t sure why.
For now, the only way I know of to get firmware downloads to flash the V3Pro is by going to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine such as this following link that goes back to 10/10/2025 when V3Pro firmware was listed as available to download:
From there you can find links to the archived Firmware versions before they were removed such as this one from May 15, 2025 firmware version 4.58.14.3289
You can also remove the internet archive prefix and just use the direct link from Wyze to get the firmware which Wyze is still hosting on their server, they just won’t link to it from their release notes anymore for some reason:
I think that is the last firmware version they made available. Sometimes you can manually type in other firmware versions between the “wcv3p_” and “.bin.zip” and even though they have never been linked or published you can get the file you’re looking for, but I tested some of the newer firmware version for this camera and that doesn’t work in this particular case as I get access denied errors:
so they are definitely officially not providing access to newer firmware. But some of the older firmware that used to be available still is available (just not linked to on the release notes) and worst case scenario it is on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine if you get desperate.
BUT PSA!!! DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
There are some firmware updates that make going back to an earlier firmware update impossible. It is possible this is why Wyze removed all the older Firmware links from the release notes. Maybe newer firmware made the older firmware impossible (ie: maybe the older firmware is incompatible with the updated drivers or other packages) and if you try to flash to older firmware it’s POSSBLE you could brick your device. So I wouldn’t recommend it…but if your camera is already basically bricked and non-functional and you are desperate to try flashing it, then I would personally probably do it, knowing there isn’t much to lose. Just be aware there is a risk in flashing the firmware…but if you are dead set on needing to do it, then I have provided the way for you to accomplish this. I hope it helps
Thank you for the insight and for pointing out the risk. My cameras work except for the Spotlight feature that stopped working all of them at the same time, so it had to be a FW update the broke it. I find it odd that the Wyze website indicates that Firmware is available but yet it is not. I tried going the route of tech support and in the end they did offer to replace cameras. I may just open a ticket again and see if they can correct this issue or provide the FW.
Thank you for providing some direction and guidance. If the changed the manual FW update option, you may be right that an older FW may brick it. I’ll think about where to go from here. It is disappointing that Wyze has not been able to fix this for me. I even waited for later updates to see if my issue would be fixed by later updates, but no dice.
Does the spotlight work at all if you use the manual toggle (icon overlaid on the live view image)? Sometimes the “auto” mode doesn’t behave as expected if the ambient light is slightly higher during certain times of year etc.
Also I would check and make sure you’re using the original adapters, or one rated for 2 amps (2000mA), and maybe test a different adapter just to rule that out.
Oh yeah, I had the same issue with my V3Pro spotlights. It was a firmware update that broke them all. I remember it really frustrated me because I use the V3Pros as night lights in several rooms.
I waited for them to fix it, but they never did, so I finally created my own solution by creating a new rule routine/automation instead of doing it through the camera settings area. If you do it that way it will work! I set it up so that the trigger would be any time the camera detected motion (or a person in some cases) then the action would be to turn on the spotlight for X amount of time. Now my cameras are back to the spotlight working again like I like them to work.
The only downside is that if I recall correctly it doesn’t decide whether to use the spotlight based on lighting conditions, like the settings allow. So, a good option to help is to set the rule up on a schedule so it only runs during certain times of night, or from sunset to sunrise or something.
That might be a decent workaround for you.
You are absolutely correct that a firmware update broke this functionality. It drove me crazy. I even reported it. They ignored me. Oh well. I did my workaround and it’s at least working now…though not 100% the same as through the settings area, it’s like 90% the same. Every once in a while it starts an event in the light and so when I turn off the light and the motion event is already going, it doesn’t immediately turn on the spotlight, but I deal with it.
This is exactly what I have on a couple OGs and a v4. There is enough ambient light that the “auto” doesn’t work, so I just have an automation for it set from midnight (when my outside lights turn off) to dawn. Works like a charm.
So it sounds like on the v3 pro the issue is not that the spotlight doesn’t work, just that the “auto” doesn’t? I found auto to be unreliable anyway, so the automation is the way to go.
That is correct. It used to work, but a recent firmware upgrade (a few months ago) broke it so it stopped working 100%. The spotlight still works, but the auto setting is completely broken on all my V3Pro devices now. So, I switched to use automation rules instead and it’s back to working…not exactly the same, but “good enough” so to speak.
Thank you for your post/reply about this issue. I’m just making time now to check back on this. I like your idea of a work around and I will try that. Yeah this issue is so frustrating, I tried all the trouble shooting, manual settings to test lights, factory reset, etc. Looks like is it just bad FW that Wyze refuses to ack. This is causing me to consider using different cameras going forward. Wyze has damaged my trust in their support, and future updates. In the meantime I will try the work around.
Thank you both “dave27” and “carverofchoice” for your input about this issue. Yeah, these v3Pros used to work fine, until the FW update. No room conditions, light and such have changed. Using OEM pwr supplies. This was definitely caused by Wzye. I will try your suggestions to work around the issue. Thank you again!!!
P.S.
This whole issue makes me wonder what would happen if I found a new old stock v3pro, and did a fw update, if it would break or jump over the specific FW update that caused the issue. Or copy out the FW from a working unit to put into the nonworking device. I just wish I knew programming better. I assume such work requires opening the camera to get to chip to reflash it, which im not able to perform.
A few years ago i put a regular Cam v3 in service i had new on a shelf. I remember it updating within the App 2 or 3 times before getting to the latest v3 firmware.
I assume the v3 Pro would update the same way.
If anyone has Wyze cameras that still have firmware BIN files available for download, it might be prudent to gtrab the files and store them on a backup drive in case they disappear in the fututre.
My v3Pro’s are on version .6797, scheduled sunset to sunrise and on auto. The spotlights are working and the update did not cause an issue. Guess I am 1 of the lucky ones. I also am using smart detections since I am on a subscription.
There is 1 caveat to this though and it is that Wyze has removed firmware downloads for the V3 Pro from their website. So you would need to do the following to get it:
go to the Wyze release notes page and copy the URL for
go to the internet archive way back machine and enter in the Wyze release notes page URL
go find the release notes page from back in October 2025 or earlier, before Wyze removed firmware downloads from where release notes page and get the saved older version firmware file for the v3pro from there
now you can follow the rest of the firmware flash instructions and get the spotlight working again
pray that Wyze doesn’t FORCE the camera to update back to the latest firmware (sometimes they do this if older firmware has critical security issues or protocol breakage)
if your spotlight is still not working, repeat these steps to choose an older firmware version until you find one that works.
turn off automatic updates so it doesn’t switch you back to the breaking firmware again
Note: do this at your own risk. Not using the latest firmware carries risks that you may be missing critical vulnerability patches.
