Hi everyone,
I wanted to share an issue I’ve been experiencing with my Wyze camera and see if anyone else has encountered something similar or might have a solution. The camera has been working perfectly for months, but recently I’ve noticed a significant lag in motion detection. The camera records motion events, but it’s almost always too late—by the time the recording starts, the animal (usually a raccoon) has already left the frame.
Here’s what I’ve observed:
- The camera seems to detect motion almost instantly but delays the recording by several seconds.
- I’ve adjusted the sensitivity and distance settings to their maximum values, which has helped reduce false alarms but hasn’t resolved the lag issue.
- The camera is battery-powered, which might contribute to the delay, but I’ve noticed the issue persists even after a full charge.
I’ve tried the following troubleshooting steps:
- Updated the firmware to the latest version.
- Rebooted the camera multiple times.
- Reset the camera to factory settings and reconfigured it.
- Contacted Wyze support, but the response was less than helpful.
I’m curious if others have experienced similar issues and if there are any known fixes or workarounds. I’m also wondering if this is a common problem with battery-powered cameras or if there might be a deeper issue with the hardware or software.
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Let’s see if we can figure this out together.
Best regards,
