I just got my Wyze Cam Pan v3. Excited I replaced my Cam v3 looking outside from second floor on to my driveway with Cam Pan v3. However my excitement didn’t last very long when I encountered these two issues which are really disappointing to say the least. Even though I have defined motion det…

No clutch. The motors can turn indefinitely if told to by the firmware. The only limitation would be wrapping up the power lead to the motors. I believe they both have mechanical limiter stops though to prevent this. The motors are step motors that divide a full rotation into a certain number of eq…

Simply put, it’s not a servo motor and yet limit switches are not needed. The “growling” at the end of travel during a position reset is the stepper trying to push beyond the physical limit. It isn’t powerful enough to “eat the gears” so no need for a slip clutch. The firmware sends a lot of ste…

Here’s a thought. Since we’ve pretty much determined that motor slip is what is causing this due to the torque involved and that the slip is greatly reduced at lower speeds. would it be possible to ramp up the movement so that it’s not a sudden torque when it moves? Say you have the speed set to 5, …

The method you imagine is called “slewing”. It is commonly used in robotics, CNC machines, automated motion control systems, etc., both large and small where, for fast moves, the motor ramps up to a set speed, races toward the destination point and ramps down just before reaching that point.

That’s great. Please include v2 pans in the mix. My inverted ones drift “up” all the time.

Any news on the firmware release date? The drifting is driving me insane.

My Pan cameras have been fixed cameras as I’ve turned that feature off. Won’t be buying more Pans. Originally didn’t do this so either a software update added this view of the sky or something is going bad in the cameras.
