I purchased this Wyze Cam Outdoor Starter Bundle v2 (1 Camera + Base Station) on April 2, 2025.
Hopefully Wyze doesn’t continue with that mindset that it’s an older device, when that device can be purchased directly from them via Amazon today.
I’ll refrain from what I really want to say for now on this issue.
Instead, I’ll offer up the following from my test results:
After running the two WCO v2s, and two WCO v1s for 24 hours, 3 of the 4 camera’s are have maintained the “No Cooldown” setting, and 1 of the 4 did covertly swap to a One Minute Cooldown.
Camera’s are named as follows in my app, first number is the Firmware of the Camera, 2nd number is the firmware of the Wyze Base Station it is connected to:
1 
WCOv2-4.48.2.62 4.16.3.117
(This WCOv2 and and this Base Station purchased on April 2nd, 2025, and put into service on April 3rd, 2025, Firmware has NOT been updated since unboxing it, it maintains the “No Cooldown Setting” since put into service)
2 WCOv2-4.48.4.418 4.16.3.117
(This WCOv2 had it’s firmware downgraded to 4.48.4.418, then was removed from an existing Base Station(Firmware 4.16.4.523), and connected to the new Base Station(4.16.3.117) that was purchased on April 2nd, 2025, after 24 hours it maintains the “No Cooldown” Setting)
3 WCOv1-4.17.4.418 4.16.3.117
(This WCOv1 was downgraded to firmware 4.17.4.118 and joined to the new Base Station(4.16.3.117) and maintains the “No Cooldown” Setting)
4 
WCOv1-4.17.4.418 4.16.4.523
(This WCOv1 was downgraded to firmware 4.17.4.118 and Left on an existing Base Station that is running Firmware 4.16.4.523. Overnight, it covertly reverted to the 1 Minute Cooldown. I changed it back to “No Cooldown” and it sticks, but I’m fairly certain it will covertly change back to 1 Minute overnight)

@Bam I need the Wyze Base Station Firmware: 4.16.3.117 to flash onto my other three Base Stations to further test, based on the following:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Camera’s 1, 2 & 3 are maintaining “No Cooldown”, and they are connected to a Base Station that is on Firmware 4.16.3.117 (and the respective Camera Firmware listed for each of those three cameras)
Camera 4, which has the same firmware(4.17.4.418) as Camera 3, reverts to "1 Minute cooldown, but Camera 4 is on the current Base Station Firmware of: 4.16.4.523.
I’m going to add a 4th Camera (WCOv1) to the New Base Station (4.16.4.523) tonight, that WCOv1 will have the current Firmware (4.17.4.427) for a WCOv1, this will be a test to see what the Cooldown period will do with this parameters.
I’ve also created a log files the four WCO’s in case someone at Wyze can use my testing to resolve this issue:
