If you are using the DZ with Pan Scan Waypoints, that DZ is only going to be accurate to the one waypoint for which the DZ is set. That is why the cam will automatically shut off the DZ when you enable Pan Scan.
Additionally, since Wyze uses Overlap Logic, even if the physical boundaries of the object in motion are fully inside the Excluded DZ, the boundaries of the Bounding Box (green Motion Tracking Box) are what determines if the cam includes or ignores the object in motion. If this box overlaps into the Included DZ, the cam will include all contents of the box as if it were fully within the Included DZ. If you also have Track Motion enabled, the cam is off to the races like an ADHD toddler with a sugar buzz.
Now add in the Drift issue and the Cam is useless.
All my PanV3 cams are static until there is a fix.
I just turned off everything and left it positioned to see the full deck. I’m tracking the outdoor cats and a stupid raccoon.
Like you and everyone else waiting for that fix, because when it worked it worked well. Could see when the cats came by, stopped to eat, and when they left. Could see if they had eaten all the food. Could track when the raccoon climbed the deck railing to steal food or try and sneak into the cat house.
Glad this is not a very important camera in my system. But still…WYZE!!!
The latest stunt my cams are pulling is running out of control when trying to drive them.
Since, like so many others, I’ve been forced to disable tracking on all of them, I’ve encountered this behavior where routine attempts to move them to a different position results in the cam simply running away in some direction, slamming into a limit and sending “You’ve reached the end.” as of I had banged on the joystick pad rapidly in some direction. The only way I’ve found to get control of it again is to reset it from within the app.
All of the above.
Plus now “reset” in the app does not work. Will be requesting new one. This one lasted about 4 months before the left & right controls shut down, reset won’t work. Cam pan v3 is a bust, when refunded, I’ll install a 1 position V3.
I’ve also had to disable motion tracking due to this issue which was a main feature that i purchased a camera for was to track motion, very disappointing this has been broken for as long as it has with no fix when so many other brand cameras I’ve had in the past never had this issue.
Weird. As I was about to copy mac details etc for refund, for ghits and shiggles I decided to try RESET motor one more time. Lo and behold it worked🤷🏽♂️. I no longer use pan scan or track motion only manually (via app) do I scan area. But Ive put off refunding cam pan v3. Newer firmware update??
This is 100% a software issue on my pan V2. I have all motion tracking off and it will stay in position for a while. Then all of a sudden it will motion track something and move never to return. Since it’s a camera, I have footage where it does this.
