Have (1) camera with Firmware Version 4.36.10.4054 needed to restart/power cycle every 4-5 days now. It’s located outside the house but under the shade. We have several similar cams and they are working fine so far. Is there anything I need to do to solve this problem?

Welcome to the Wyze User Community Forum @womako2002 ! :man_raising_hand: There are many users here in the Forum that advocate for regular power cycles on cams that have a tendency to go offline. Users have speculated that it could be a loss in network connectivity due to poor WiFi signal, router beh…

Can you describe the problems you are having that require restarts? Also, have you tried a Factory Reset on the v3 that needs restarts?

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. There was no error shown. Basically, I can’t view anything and it just says the cam needs to be restarted. I have not yet tried the factory reset. Will try later.

[image] womako2002: I have not yet tried the factory reset. Will try later. Please understand that a Factory Reset will require you to reinstall the cam. You don’t have to delete it from the app. If you just run a new install setup it will save all the settings from your account and your even…

This is my first foray into the forum as my two Cam Pan V3s are regularly losing network connectivity. I am gratified to see that my solution to use smart plugs with these two cameras is not new here. Thanks for giving me the idea to set my smart plugs up to power cycle every night. I will report if…

There’s something really wrong if you have to power cycle. Its not a good way to go about it. Its more like having to keep hooking a car battery up to a charger constantly. I understand that its all you can do. But, I’d recommend trying to view the cam from some other device and application. Speci…

This has been an ongoing problem. Every week it’s something…People need to realize that these are not “real” security cameras. I would classify these devices as “for entertainment purposes only” cameras. “You get what you pay for !”

Welcome to the Wyze User Community Forum @fpltdc ! :man_raising_hand: Cams going offline has always been a topic of discussion here in the forum. I have always power cycled my cams on a schedule. That started three routers ago when I was using a rinky dink walkie talkie router. I have since upgraded …

I don’t think it’s due to wifi signal quality as the furthest one is connected to a wifi extender’s separate network and other devices using said extender (such as the smart plug) do not lose connectivity at all. The other one is connected to the main router’s wifi signal and I have an OG cam that i…

Thanks for that info regarding offline issues. I just set my smart plugs to turn off at 2359 and come back on a minute later for the two Pan V3s and will keep this forum apprised of any further offline issues.

An interesting new post over in the Fix-it Friday thread. Worth investigating and reporting back to see if the router settings may be contributing.
