Wyze Pan Cam pointing at random direction/angle

My Pan Cam points straight up at ceiling or hang down the camera 90 degress, straight down. Not sure why this happens. Sometimes it turns 180 degrees and starts to watch TV.

Too little details, for example is “Track Motion” set?

When motion tracking is turned, on, the Camera is set to follow the largest amount of pixel changes in view at the time. This can include color or lighting changes like light, shadows, etc, not just people or animals moving around. This is one reason it might get stuck on watching the TV sometimes because all the changing colors and light on the screen are the same thing as a moving person to something using pixel changes as motion.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there could also be other variables involved to indicate there is a calibration problem as well, such as the known drifting issues from the past. There are some people still experiencing some calibration concerns, but knowing whether you are having that or if it is just normal tracking of various kinds of motion including light/color changes is hard to know without a lot more information and testing. It might be normal, it might not be.
