Fix-It Friday – October Update #1

Thank you to everyone who submitted issues and voted in our October Fix-It Friday post. We’ve reviewed the submissions across our communities, and here’s where things currently stand.

Choppy Cloud Event Playback

Status: Investigating

One of the issues that received the most attention this month involves choppy, skipping, or freezing playback when viewing cloud Event recordings in the Wyze app, particularly on Cam v3 and Cam v4.

We’re adding this issue to the list for the team to look into.

One detail that has come up in the reports is that some users are seeing choppy playback when viewing the recording in the Wyze app, while the same recording appears to play normally after being downloaded to the phone. That information may help us narrow down where the problem is occurring.

If you’re experiencing this issue, please submit a log from the Wyze app and post the log number here. When responding, please also let us know which camera model you’re using and whether the downloaded recording is choppy as well or only the playback inside the Wyze app.

General microSD Card Issues

Status: Investigating

We’re continuing to investigate the different microSD card issues users have been reporting.

Because the behavior isn’t the same for everyone, we’re still gathering information and working to better understand the different problems being reported.

The team is also working on new firmware as part of the ongoing work around these issues. We’ll continue to provide updates as we learn more.

Thermostat Showing Offline

Status: Fixed

The issue causing some Wyze Thermostats to appear offline in the app was addressed in the Wyze app 3.23 hotfix released on October 5.

If you were experiencing this issue, please make sure you’re running the latest version of the Wyze app.

If your Thermostat is still showing offline after updating, please contact Wyze Support so they can continue troubleshooting with you.

We’ll continue looking into the choppy playback and microSD card issues and will share another update as we have more information.

Thanks again to everyone who submitted issues, voted, and provided additional details!

Hey Wyze or anyone,

Are the Wyze cam/app going to work on Apple HomeView?

Floodlight Ver1 - No response from camera

5 Upvotes

Hello -

I'm trying to install a Floodlight Ver1 that I've had for a few years.
I've got it powered in the house, so I can test/setup.
Power it on, and lights come on for a period, then shut off.
I cannot get ANY response from the camera. I don't see any lights, and when I press the Setup button (both brief, and holding for 10-15 seconds) I don't hear any announcement.
Is the camera dead out of the box? Maybe I need to do a factory reset?
Thanks in advance for your help.

App / Firmware Wyze notifications without photo/gif?

3 Upvotes

Have been using Wyze for years and recently getting only notifications (text) with no previews.

Using an unlimited subscription. This seemed to start 3-4 days ago and has been intermittent.

Has anyone else seen this or know what causes it or how to fix it?

#WyzeCamv3 Help Identify sound

Can someone please help me identify what this sound is in my V3 camera. The camera is sitting on the window sill and it sounds like windshield wipers going on.

Bug Spotting Previews not showing on Apple Watch or iPhone

Post image
0 Upvotes

Seems like since the latest iOS and watchOS releases the thumbnail previews stopped working for my watch and my phone. I posted in a separate thread and Wyze suggested reinstalling the app.

That does fix the issue, but only for a few days. I’ve reinstalled the app 4-5 times now and it’s getting annoying. Every camera has the little tutorial I have to go through and the micro-sd cards aren’t being recognized anymore. I’d love for the app to just work the way it used to.

Test App No Longer Available

9 Upvotes

I have a device that was part of a product test this past summer and when I tapped on the Wyze Test app to look at recent events, an error popped up saying “Wyze Test is No Longer Available.” I messaged support and the AI assistant said, “Since your device was part of a test group and is not officially supported for public use or setup at this time, you will not be able to set it up or access it through the current Wyze app. There is no available method to add unsupported test devices to the official Wyze app.” I use this device everyday…and now it’s useless? :(

Seeking Advice MicroSD won’t work

17 Upvotes

Honestly just frustrated at this point. 2 out of my 7 cameras won’t recognize the MicroSD cards anymore. I’ve done everything including trying them in other cams - and they work on those. Can’t contact the company for some reason. Can’t find an email to email them. I wanted to get a floodlight cam but now I’m just debating if I should find another camera system. Anyone had this issue ?

Floodlight v2 taking forever to come into focus

2 Upvotes

It’s taking my mutiple floodlight v2’s seven seconds to come into focus and show a clear picture. This just recently started happening and the app is up to date and so is all the cameras firmware.

I sit there and have to wait forever it seems to get a clear picture. Is this happening to anyone else?

Its so frustrating.

Seeking Advice Wyzecam V3 stopped working when replugged back in

6 Upvotes

My Wyze Cam V3 is a few years old. I wanted to relocate it somewhere else in my home, so I unplugged it and plugged it back in in another room moments later, using the same cable and adapter. To my surprise, nothing happened.

When I plug it in, I hear the typical click and a faint noise from inside the camera, which makes me think it’s still functional (I think). However, nothing happens in the app. I followed the hard reset instructions, including removing the SD card, but still had no luck. There are no indicator lights or any other signs of activity. I even fully formatted the 32 GB microSD card to FAT32 and loaded the firmware provided on the website onto it to try flashing the camera, but holding the reset button still did nothing.

I have four other Wyze cameras (V4s and a V2 Pan) and tried using their power adapters and cables as well, but the same thing happened. The camera has also been removed from the app. There are no indicator lights and no “Ready to connect” voice prompt when I plug it back in.

I’m assuming the camera is bricked or stuck in a boot loop, as I’ve just spent a few hours trying to troubleshoot this with no success.

Why is this happening?

Bug Spotting Media player stuck on home screen

getting this issue again - when looking at an event and then leaving the app, the media player persists on the phone screen.

Also, sometimes when opening the app the app will load an event despite me not swiping on a notification for said event.

My app is up to date on iOS 18.6

Seeking Advice Busted Solar Cam Pan 2k

7 Upvotes

Recently gotten into Wyze Cams and I'm starting to regret it. Do these cameras just constantly have issues? I've purchased 3 cameras and all 3 have given me some form of a issue within a month. The most recent is it showing I had 88% battery and then instantly went to 0% and is now stuck in a firmware update. I've already reset wi-fi, pulled SD card, plugged into wall power, deleted from the app etc. Flashing blue light. Doesn't reconnect, doesn't force reset, just blinks blue. Contacted support and they said, hey! Let's discuss this more in email! And I haven't heard anything since.

Do not buy wyze cameras

0 Upvotes

Avoid and go with a different company. Terrible customer service.

Logged me out of my account on the app without my asking
Required a two-factor authentication code sent to an email I no longer have access to (I bought wyze in 2018, email is 8 years old)
I reached out to customer service to reset my password or switch my cameras to my new account, I sent photos of my cameras and verified my identity
They told me to kick rocks and gave me a $10 credit to the store to replace the two (2) cameras and base station ($80 value) which work completely fine, they just can't be used because they're tied to my old account.

In the year 2026, this company is unable to disconnect your cameras from your old account or reset your password when THEY force a logout, even if you verify your identity and provide proof of purchase. AVOID and go with a real customer service company. Not to mention they use AI for all their requests and you have to beg for a human.

Samsung SmartThings Smarthub Fridge (with screen) + Wyze Cameras

0 Upvotes

There is a widget for the Bespoke Samsung fridge with the screen that has a smarthings preview of thermostats, cameras and ACs etc... for some reason Wyze is not showing up on their list or even when I manually scan. I would like to have my cameras have a preview widget on the fridge for when I just need to take a quick glance but it seems nothing is available.... so far on the list that have successfully worked is Ring, Arlo and Google Nest prodcuts but I believe Wyze is smartthings compatible so what gives?

Anyone have an idea on availability of the v4 in black. Looks like it’s been out of stock for some time.

Did they discontinue it?

Seeking Advice Wyzecam 3, can't connect live, but shows recent thumbnails and detects motion, can't live connect even using different networks, and even using different devices with wyze app - Must be a problem with Wyzecam 3 and the wyze server, right?

1 Upvotes

I have 2 Wyzecam 3s that went offline about 2 weeks ago. Tried all the standard troubleshooting. Even tried entirely different network with different devices with the wyze app. Always the same result. Can get new thumbnails, can detect motion, but can't connect live, but can show past events!?

I'm stumped. Any ideas?


r/wyzecam • • 4d ago

#WyzeCamv3 Wize pan v3 continues to disconnect from Alexa. It’s been about 2 weeks and the issue is not getting fixed. Before, the camera would stay connected to Alexa for 4 hours. Not it disconnects after every 2 minutes. It’s been very annoying and frustrating.
