Updated Android app and a one of each cam model. Wow… it appears that the slow as a salted slug connection issue and -3005 errors are fixed! Will keep testing before updating firmware on additional cams.
Update: Loaded firmware on 2 of each model. Tested live stream connection related issues under Android 10, 12 and 16 phones and tablets so far. Only tested live stream connection startup speed, live stream stability and made sure all cam settings didn’t mysteriously change. So far… outstanding! Users reporting the live stream connection issues will be pleased. I am, as they plagued me too. Will run a 12-hour live stream test on multiple viewing platforms, some running single stream, some running groups in landscape, before venturing into other app areas.
Update: Live stream testing went well under Android app 3.11.0 (b756). Loading additional cams with beta firmware and also starting testing under iOS/iPadOS app version 3.11.0 (4).
Update: It should be noted that cams loaded with this release’s firmware are inaccessible from Wyze app version 2.50.x and earlier. I.e., if you’re attempting to view cams running this firmware from a 32-bit viewing platform, you’re out of luck.
All updated successfully. My problem units (repeatable) were the v4’s. The “slow when in a group” appears fixed. The v4’s are fast to load, back to where they were a couple of months ago. I’m holding off updating my remaining v4’s for a couple of days.
Updated all and tried panning with my Cam Pan v3’s. Previous responses were painfully slow and after a few movements all cameras would go offline for a few minutes. After installing the beta pan controls are responding very quickly and no going offline.
I figured it can’t get any worst, so I went ahead and updated all my cameras. Colour me impressed! I don’t think I’ve seen the cameras load so fast in a group view before.
Way to go Wyze! What you need to do is make a golden master of this firmware and lock it at Fort Knox so you can always fall back.
Now if you can just add the Network change to the V4, full landscape on iPad and full dark mode, you are golden.
I’m pretty sure that Cam Pan v3 beta (RC) firmware 4.50.16.6114 requires Android app version 3.11.0.b756 or iOS app version 3.11.0 (4). Please note the following posted at top of topic:
I re-joined the beta program the instant I saw this announcement, then I installed the firmware on all of my many v4 cameras. It has fixed the streaming issue! I can now view groups of 10 to 14 cams again on my Android phone. Before this, it had become practically unusable when viewing more than the first 4 to 6 cams in a group. Now, at worst, one camera near the end of the group might have trouble loading, but it comes up fast if I tap it to bring it forward (and then back up to the group).
Check Wyze app Home > your 2nd Cam v3 > wait for live stream to start + 5 seconds > Settings (upper right gear icon) > Device Info > Firmware Version > tap on the firmware version number
Wyze app Home > Account (lower right) > App Settings > clear cache files > back one level > Log Out > force quit Wyze app > restart your phone/tablet > log back into Wyze app and check for update via the 2 methods above
Restart your cam: Wyze app Home > your 2nd Cam v3 > wait for live stream to start + 5 seconds > Settings (upper right gear icon) > Restart Camera > Restart > wait for cam to restart and check again
Powercycle your cam and check again
If none of the above shows a firmware update, try updating cam from a different phone/tablet.
Ach. None of these suggestions worked, include trying on two different devices.. iPhone 13 mini running 26.3.1 and a 10th gen iPad running 26.3.1 as well.
That’s sad to hear. Since you’re running app 3.11.0 (4) and already have 4.36.16.6114 running on one Cam v3, there should be no restrictions to access this beta firmware for your other v3 cams. Other than trying a factory reset on your other cam, I’m out of ideas. Hopefully some other testers have some ideas.
Will keep testing before updating firmware on additional cams.
