Wyze Cam Pan v3 & Sense Hub Firmware Beta Test 2/13/2023

Updated cams and power cycled without incident.

  • Update appears to have significantly improved the Return to Home bug. After setting waypoints and a Detection Zone, Live Streaming through extensive motion tracking events, and manually manipulating the PT FOV, the cam appears to be returning to the set Home point with a near undetectable variance. Currently testing in IRNV, will have better results in daylight.

EDIT: The bug is not gone. After a day of normal usage tracking objects with waypoints and DZ position set to an identical FOV, the cam has shifted up by nearly 2 DZ Blocks. Waypoints and DZ had to be reset for another day of normal use testing. Still not ready for prime time.

  • When Live Streaming with no motion, stream is fluid. However, when motion activation occurs and the cam Motion Tracks, the live stream consistently locks up for up to 10 seconds before it recovers. It seems that the faster the object moves, the longer the stream lockup. This live stream lockup can be duplicated when manually PT manipulating the cam thru the app. Cam movement is degrading stream quality and capability.

  • Pan V3 still lacks the granular “Device Notifications” for individual Smart AI toggles present in the iOS app and on the PanV1, PanV2, V2, and V3 updated firmware. It is still just all AI or nothing.

  • 30s FF \ RW buttons on SD Playback are still not functioning. The first press of the 30s FF took me 6 minutes forward. Subsequent presses did nothing at all.
