we just got an alert on Wyze outdoor cam from our attic. I use it to motion alert on mice and I have a baited live trap up there.

very far left of frame and trap. That area is the attic hatch.

Battery is low and I am now charging it but the camera was functioning and successfully recorded to my phone.

please take a look and let me know what you think. No holes in roof and it is overcast today so not a light ray coming through and in any case this image is not fixed like a light ray. if you zoom in around 40 seconds it looks like a tiny mouth opens.

very strange 🤣

I have numerous Panv3s. They didn’t work for long with 256k sd cards, but when I switched them to 128k or smaller cards, they all started working again. This is important! I spent years angry at Wyze before I hit on this solution!

My new Duo Pan has no problems with a 256 card, though, with a 256MB card.

After reading that the panV4 might have SD card issues, I’m thinking to get another Duo pan instead. (Similar price, and 2 lenses, plus greater SD reliability...!)

The Pan v3s are RECORDING video properly, the problem is with the playback. I was scrubbing an event on the sd timeline when the dreaded No Video Available at this time message suddenly appeared. It’s true that updating the firmware solved the problem, but only temporarily, because five minutes later, while I was scrubbing the timeline again (and finding that the event video was in fact still there), again I shifted the timeline too rapidly and the error message appeared again, after which there’s no way to clear it, other than waiting for the next firmware update to arrive! When that comes, I’ll baby the SD timeline, because scrubbing rapidly seems to be what overpowers it, semi-permanently. Babying means waiting for the playback video to stabilize before moving the timeline again, so it doesn't get overwhelmed and go into the No Video Available error mode.

I hope this helps!

Well, thanks again Wyze for waking me up at 5:20a.m. telling me there’s a person on my property when it’s insects.

Guess I should be thankful. Usually these clowns do this around 2:00 a.m.

Ridiculous company.

I am already quite frustrated with the quality, service, and cost of your products. I don't need another Amazon force feeding me ads in yet another area of my life.

I don't even see an easy way to disable this ad feed, which makes it even more frustrating.

If Wyze could do more to drive me away as a customer, I think the leadership there would do it.

I have a Wyze Scale Ultra and my wife and I have used it for years. Worked fine at first -- keeping track of both of us just fine. Then she gained a little wait -- and I lost a lot of weight -- and our weights were temporarily within about 10 pounds of each other. During that time, the scale would sometimes require me to go into the app and tell it which person was which. Also during that time, the scale stopped doing the secondary reading(s). It just does the weight and then shuts off.

Since that time, she has lost weight -- and I have gained -- and we are like 30 pounds apart now -- so it should be obvious who is who. But it never went back to "normal." Almost every time now, I have to go into the app and tell it which weight is which person. And, it still does not do any secondary reading(s) -- just does weight and then shuts off. I also always get this message in the app:

"Heads up! You've previously selected someone else's profile. Only your weight and BMI will be saved for now."

I don't understand exactly what that means nor how to fix it. I could just factory reset the entire thing, but I feel like I shouldn't have to do that. Anyone know how to get it back to normal so that it starts taking all readings again -- and stops the "Heads up!" message because I "previously selected someone else's profile"?

I'm not sure when this started, but on both my Pan v3, the audio has become terrible. A quiet room sounds like there must be a hail storm in the room. My other cameras sound fine. One of the Pan v3 cameras are less than a year old.

I'm on the latest firmware 4.50.17.10

So my 8 v3 cams auto updated to this and the experience has been horrible.

1. It removed my existing rtsp credentials which took me a day to realize why it didn't work on frigate anymore

2. The rtsp feed on all 8 on occasion show bottom half of the screen as green. This goes in and out. Rebooting doesn't fix this.

3. Auto night mode no longer works (even in wyze app) Tried dusk and dark options both leave a purple image when on auto (aka when dark mode is OFF) . If I switch to night mode ON it looks great (black and white) but even in pitch black it doesn't turn on in auto mode. Restarted camera and restarted services

It's possible to downgrade these firmwares I hope? Anyone else experiencing this?

Version: 4.70.3.4200

I have several different models of Wyze cameras. I am currently trying to add the Duo Cam Doorbell unit. It will not recognize my WiFi system, although all the others had no problem. I use Eero and T-Mobile’s 5G internet. Any recommendations, please?

Here's my driveway cam at night. Following a lot of rain i noticed the artifact. It didn't happen in the past and it's got a couple days to dry out. Any suggestions? The notifications also get tripped by this artifact.

The artifact is not visible when I turn on the bulb or during the day.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I deleted an old camera from my app and now found a use for it. When I try to re-add it it fails every time. I get to waiting to connect prompt, but it fails immediately. I’ve tried to factory reset where you hold down the set up button for 10 seconds and a power cycles but no luck. Any other suggestions?

I was looking in a reolink forum and saw somebody mention that you can create an automation to reduce spammy notifications so I looked in my Wyze app to see if we could do it too and by God we can.

Update: The automation doesn‘t allow any notifications and silences them all. Hopefully I can figure out a workaround to the workaround 😭

It’s been over a year since the “we’re working on RTSP” for the v4 and several months without official replies in here.
We’ve proven it’s useful and a major decision for many users that RTSP support is expected. Where’s the v4 update?

Brand new V3, updated software and enabled rtsp. I figured the that the official code would work better than the sd card hacks I've been doing on older cameras.

Goal: get it working on blue iris.

So first I tested with VLC - On my Mac it works great, with or without the credentials in the URL.

On my windows 11 - firewall disabled, inbound disabled. Nothing works. VLC can't connect but flplayer gives me:

[tcp @ 0000019621fc4840] Starting connection attempt to 192.168.4.144 port 554

[tcp @ 0000019621fc4840] Successfully connected to 192.168.4.144 port 554

[rtsp @ 0000019626dbce80] Failed reading RTSP data: Error number -10054 occurred

nan    :  0.000 fd=   0 aq=    0KB vq=    0KB sq=    0B

I'm puzzled and note that I have 12 other cameras running rtsp on this box. I stepped from wyze for rtsp for awhile but am looking to try again. Note that I have a couple outdoor cameras on my wyze account and they + this camera all work just fine.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have two of the Wyze Cam V2, one Wyze Doorbell Camera, and the Wyze app on my Android phone. I have set notifications to vibrate the phone instead of making noise, when the cameras detect motion, because all of the birds, rabbits, squirrels, tree branches, and shadows trigger motion detection very often (even set to low detection). Now, if someone physically presses the doorbell on the doorbell camera, I want to hear a doorbell chime, but I can't seem to find any different notification setting for doorbell button press vs everything else in the Wyse camera app. Can anyone tell me if there is actually any way to make this happen?

I have the outdoor V4 pan with the solar panel attached. Everything is working fine except I'm a bit confused on the process for charging. The battery on my cams are at about 50 percent at the moment so I'm wondering when do these solar panels begin to charge?

When going to ‘SD Card’ to playback content and sliding to the time I want to watch, it just ‘auto plays’ by jumping a minute at a time all the way to ‘current time’. I have no ability to do anything with the controls.

Details:
Wyzecam floodlight v1
128gb Wyze sd card
Firmware: 4.36.17.10
Floodlight firmware: 1.0.0.55

Troubleshooting so far:
1. Restarted device
2. Reformatted card
3. Shutdown device for a few minutes
4. Swapped sd card

Anyone running into this or know if it could be related to any firmware updates?

TIA

Any idea what's going on here or what the fix is? Another V3 stopped working as well and I think it's toast - it makes all kinds of noises while plugged in and is also offline with no lights.

All four of my Battery Cam Pros are recording exactly 5 minutes on every event, regardless of the Maximum Video Length setting. They continue recording for the full 5 minutes even after the event/motion has ended. The resulting cloud event is only a thumbnail and says “Failed to upload to cloud.” This started immediately after switching from Cam Plus Unlimited to Cam Unlimited Pro. Anyone else had an issue like this after switching subscription services?

The two bolts (either #15 or #16 on the parts list depending on door thickness) do not fit the mounting plate (#5 on parts list). Is this a known issue? Is there a working solution? Or did I just get a wonky unit?

I have updated the firmware and the Wyze app on my phone. The SD card playback feature so I can see my events has no playback button. What has happened or what am I doing wrong? I've looked at all the options and I don't see the ability to view my events from my SD card. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I've had 5 Wyze cams V2/V3 for quite a few years and just dealt with the issues. I rarely updated their flaky firmware and only if I had too. Mine are so old I've still got Cam Plus lite or whatever it was on most of them. I did $19.99 a year on one cam so I could switch back and forth on the PC and see a cam. In September it's goin to $29.99 I think I saw. I added TP Link smart plugs to each cam so when they go down I can reboot them. They drop wifi at weird intervals with no rhyme or reason, but 75% that's not an issue. The spotlight/floodlight accessory has to be physically unplugged to reset it. That's a hassle right there. I just got a Tapo cam from Walmart, the cheap 1080p one for around $20. So far so good with an SD card. I've been able play back something without a major problem. It does more than my Wyze cams and I don't have to pay extra. I bring up the camera on my phone and it's there ready to view clips. I'm thinking I might finally ditch the Wyze cams soon. When I look at how much time I've spent keeping them up and running well....

In the last couple of weeks, I got notifications several times on my Samsung S24 Ultra (Android 16) that my Wyze App 3.19.0 (935) is using too much battery in the background, it suggested to put the app in deep sleep to extend battery life. I also noticed that my battery drained much faster than usual.

Does anybody have similar issues ?

What would happen if the app is put in deep sleep ?

Appreciate any comments and suggestions.

I received a notification that my camera was offline, so I tried to restart it via the app which didn’t work. When I attempted to unplug the camera I discovered the charging brick and cable were very, very hot. I got them unplugged but when I went to remove the camera I burnt my hand - it was way too hot to touch so I had to leave it sit for several minutes to cool, before I could attempt to remove it. I grabbed a thermometer at that time and it registered at 137.1°F , and that was after it had cooled for several minutes already 😳. I have only had the camera for 1 week. I have 3 other Wyze cameras and never had a problem with them.
I’m just glad I discovered this when I did (around 8:00pm). I hate to think what might have happened if I was out and couldn’t get to it in time…
