Thanks! I Will now.

Add me to the list of folks with an upgraded Wyze Cam v2 who, after upgrading to the latest firmware (4.9.9.147), is stuck with a solid yellow light that persists between firmware flashes, attempted factory resets, power cycles, etc.

I just viewed my camera and itās the new version Pan v2. I received a pop up asking me if Iād like to update the firmware. I laughed out loud and said, āOh HELL nah!ā
I suggest Wyze should pause the firmware rollout.

Add me to the list of people that got their V2 bricked by the latest firmware. I only set it up a few days ago tooā¦ Iāve tried all the suggested steps with no luck. Is there somewhere to find older firmware since Wyze has removed them? 1002 didnāt work and Iād like to test others. It was on 4.9.4.38 before, but I donāt even see that listed.
1002 is the last known working better version. the version before is 860
I am still on 1002.
It would be nice if they acknowledged that there is a bug in this release, prior to releasing a fix. Bricking customer devices is a really bad way to build a company.

Totally agree.
Wirst part is as user you will never know when the system is needed.

I have been able to collect a few more Ismart cameras and now my system is at ten cameras. I have had zero issues with ismart and have been using them since 2015. They did go out of business and now meshare handles their cloud services. They are having a black friday sale for their annual subscriptions.
I love Ismart. I can watch them via the app or online without any issues! I also get real time notifications pushed through my cell! The only reason I got a wyze camera was they were on sale. So i have a total of 12 cameras but only use 10 ismart consistently.

i have the same issue with my older Wyze cameras. The only way i can get them to come back online is to do the following.
1)unplug camera
2)Eject memory card
3) Plug camera back in
4) wait to get pic on Wyze app with said camera
5) insert memory card back in
Works every time, but is such a pain to have to do this when an new firmware update comes outor if we lose power.
Wyze just released 1851 firmware to fix the problem.
Latest app version. Attempted to update firmware 4.9.9.1851 in multiple V2 cameras and all returned āupdate failedā. After 3 or 4 attempts, restarting cameras etc, update was finally successful.
Now all of the cameras have stopped doing continuous recording, even though app shows that continuous record is enabled.
Multiple reboots and finally seem to be working.
The unreliability of Wyze cams is such a regular problem that I replaced every Wyze cam in my office with a REAL security camera system and have had ZERO issues since.
I guess I need to do the same at home. I need reliable, uncomplicated, stress-free security as I travel often.
Having to be home for unplugging, restarting, reinstalling, rebooting, reformatting SD cards, etc is not what I signed up for.
I now tell friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues to avoid low budget Wyze toy cameras.
Hope to install a REAL system at home soon so I wonāt have to be here and you wonāt have to read anything else from me.

Agreed. Wyze is such junk. I now have 11 iSmart cameras and they work flawlessly!!!
I updated one of my Wyze Cam V2 to 1851 and so far so good. There was a small gap in the continuous recording due to the update, but SD playback from before and after the update is playing without issues.
I have one camera that is doing the same thing. I got a notice to up date today and did. Then the camera would not reboot. I unplugged it and still it will not reboot. Every time it does this I have to uninstall and re-install the camera. This is getting very old.

I thought the continuous recording issue was resolved but I was wrong. My cameras now randomly just stop recording.
I canāt get recording to stay activated and since Iām traveling all I can do is remotely restart cameras and reformat SD cards. Those action sometimes appear to allow recording but then it just randomly stops.
My home is often unprotected without my knowledge because of Wyzeās unreliability.

What size SD cards are using? Iām using 32GB and the cam resumed continuous recording after update without issue.
Just trying to narrow it down.

Yet another reason why I no longer do non-mandatory firmware updates. WYZE routinely āfixesā one issueā¦ only to create others. Hopefully, you learned a lesson hereā¦ albeit the tough way.
