Wyze ForumFirmware updates have broken Cam Plus features, motion tracking, and event recording
Wyze ForumTwo-way audio echo feedback that gets progressively worse until mic is disabled
Wyze ForumCamera goes offline frequently, crashes when trying to pan or use microphone
commonCause: Connectivity and firmware stability issues
Motion tracking detects bugs, dust, and tiny particles - too sensitive
commonCause: Tracking algorithm sensitivity cannot be tuned low enough
Pan motor movement blurs video image
commonCause: Fast pan speed even on lowest setting
Video quality perceived as worse than older Pan v2 model
rareCause: Mixed user reception, some units may have quality issues

Water can damage the microSD card and slot despite IP65 rating

Video footage if using cloud, motion event metadata, app usage patterns
Same Wyze privacy concerns - Feb 2024 breach affected 13,000 users who saw other users footage. Pan-tilt adds concern of remote camera positioning.
Tested with up to 10 devices
Pan-tilt cameras use more bandwidth during movement. MicroSD supports up to 256GB for continuous recording. Motion tracking can increase processing load.
Multiple pan-tilt cameras with active tracking can strain 2.4GHz network. Frequent panning increases wear on motor over time.
