Periodically a Wyze V3 camera will stop working and require that power be cycled to it. This is absolutely ANNOYING and FRUSTRATING to the user. You HAVE to buy a Smart Plug for EVERY Wyze camera you buy. This is a FIRMWARE problem in the Wyze camera. Please FIX THIS problem. Thank you

I have no such issue. My only v3 is hanging on the corner of my house under direct sun since I got it and it only needed power cycling once since i got it.

Everything with a computer needs a periodic reset. I created a rule that o reset all of our cams. Only takes a few seconds.

I know things should work no matter how much or little we paid for it, BUT… some of us are acting like we paid thousands of dollars for industrial grade equipment. Many cams costing even more that these may need to be rebooted if you don’t set them up for success. I have 21 Wyze cams and their upt…

If you don’t check your camera numerous times throughout the day, you’d never know the camera had an issue, before the Wyze network came back online.

:joy:. Funny. I check my cameras every time I get a notification. Wow. I spend too much time checking my cameras.
