WyzeCam v4 streaming resolution keeps downgrading to 360p

Sounds like a guy who sailed the Pacific. :laughing:

Hope you didn’t catch anything but good memories.

That’s all I got and No I do not remember names. :grin:
And my V4 cams still work great at 2.5K, always, just to keep on the subject, :upside_down_face:

“Knock you up,” huh! :scream_cat:

In southwest Pennsylvania where I grew up we didn’t clean-up our homes instead we “red them up.”

As for Bob, I was a mother’s helper for a British family at the Jersey shore during summer vacations when I was in college

My employer had a teenager granddaughter who’d bring a friend and they taught me to french inhale cigarettes, eat with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, and how to talk like a Londoner.

So, Bob’s yer uncle.

Knock on your door. :smile:

If you needed clarification.

Regional colloquialism is never boring but filled with humor to the outsider. These made my day! :joy:

Incredibly mine has found its way to my local PO and should be delivered today. It somehow managed to go 6 days and pass through several hubs without ever being scanned…

Guess UPS and/or USPS got overloaded from black Friday. I mean, it’s understandable, not like it happens every year or anything.

Considering I can drive to where it shipped from in about 5 hours, 11 days seems a bit much :grinning:

Mine was shipped this time, it is currently in Fontana California.

I also have this issue on v4 daily. Not related to distance from router. 12 v4 cams.
Any other version cam or doorbell does not revert back to 360 ever.
In or out of a group makes no difference.

I don’t think this is our issue but the cameras issue.

Distance from router is not the only factor in wifi signal. In fact it is pretty low on the list.

If you have 12 cams, that alone is a lot if there is a lot of 2.4ghz congestion in your area. But even if you don’t, any one of those cams with a poor signal (quality, not necessarily strength) will drag the available bandwidth down for all of them.

Also note that some have mentioned having them in a cam group and/or viewing them using Wyze Web View can potentially cause this behavior also.

Related to v4 cams alone rules out connectivity issues. This is not a user issue. It is a software issue.
V4 cams are WIfy 6 capable the others are not… That may be a clue for the developers. I do have a 2.4 wyfy 6 router.

Why some V4 cams and not others? My cams have never gone to 360. I only have two V4 cams, one activated 29 March 2024 and the other 30 August 2024. They both have 4.52.9.1134 firmware, iOS app 3.2.7 (1).
I also have another 11 cams currently running on a regular Motorola cable modem with integrated AC 3200 router, nothing fancy.

My V4s don’t have the 360p problem, either.

Neither have mine.

@dave27 and @Antonius - Should have grabbed the v4’s at Home Depot over Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales. They were $19.98 for all colors and you would have them in hand now. Still on sale but now $25.98. :grinning:

I have one on the way from WYZE, also $19.98, no shipping fee and less Tax than HD . It is supposed to be 16 December. :upside_down_face:

I agree. No issues.

I got mine from wyze for about $15 after cashback offers, installed it today.

FYI it is “WiFI” or “Wi-FI” or even “wifi”.

I doubt the wifi 6/AX connectivity has anything to do with it.

I just installed my new v4, I noticed that when I tried to view it on my phone when my phone had a very poor wifi signal, it dropped to 360, though it may just be that it starts at 360 out of the box. It has been on 2.5K for a few hours now no problem, but will see how it acts over time.

It is not surprising that if it can’t communicate it drops down. Other models of cam asked if you wanted to, this one seems to do it automatically. I wouldn’t call it a software “issue” more of a “change in behavior”. I’m guessing it is to ensure that clips get uploaded to the cloud if signal or bandwidth is poor. They should probably add in a check to bump it back up if bandwidth gets better, but then people who manually set it to 360 would be upset that it keeps changing…
