I have two Wyze Bridges. Each of them connected to a Pan Cam. Each has 4 sensors connected (2 motion, 2 contact each). Pretty similar configuration.
Everything has been working great for a long time. Recently, one of them started failing after a while. The bridge will show an orange/amber light, and the devices connected to it will go offline. I have to power cycle the camera every time, and it happens often, especially during critical times. It will work, and then it will start to fail again.
Do note that this was happening before on the same bridge, but rarely. Now it is more consistent.
The camera itself is online and works. Stock cable and power supply are used. Because the bridge itself does not appear as a device, it is hard to debug what is going on.
This is annoying as it is connected to critical sensors that break my home when deactivated.
This is most likely a failed/failing bridge. Please open a support ticket right away.

I am also experiencing the same issue…
My wyze bridge was connected to a v2 cam and worked perfectly all the time.
A few days ago I installed it on a pan cam, and it keeps having issues. Amber light after a few hours(have to restart camera for it to work again).
And if I attach it back to my v2 cam it works without issue again…
Seems like a software bug.
Or a power supply issue. Contact support, as @rbruceporter said. The Pan Cam has higher current requirements than the V2 because of the motor. Let’s get some attention to this.
Just tested the power supply theory… and it seems like you may be right!
The bridge runs into issues when the motors turn on to move the camera…
I could literally watch it go from blue to amber after a few seconds of running the motors.
