Hey everyone, I’ve been having some trouble with motion detection on my Wyze cameras lately, and I wanted to share my experience and some tips that might help others facing similar issues. 
The Issue:
Just like some of you mentioned, I’ve been encountering the frustrating “Operation failed” message when trying to enable motion detection on a couple of my Wyze cameras. It’s been a bit of a puzzle, but I thought I’d walk through what I’ve tried and what finally worked for me. 
What I Did:
- Checked Firmware Updates: The first thing I did was ensure that my cameras were up to date. Sometimes, these issues are resolved in newer firmware versions. Thankfully, Wyze makes this pretty straightforward through their app.
- Reset and Reboot: I powered cycled the cameras a few times, just to rule out any temporary glitches. Sometimes, a good restart can work wonders!
- Reinstalled the App: I uninstalled and reinstalled the Wyze app on my phone. I know it sounds basic, but it’s amazing how often this can fix connection issues.
- Reached Out to Support: I contacted Wyze support through their website. They were super helpful and walked me through some additional troubleshooting steps. Turns out, there was a minor firmware conflict that needed a manual fix on their end.
A Little Tip:
If you’re having trouble with motion detection, I’d recommend checking if you’re using the latest version of the Wyze app. I also found that using the official Wyze app instead of third-party apps made a big difference in reliability. 
Final Thoughts:
It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I’m happy to say that motion detection is now working perfectly again! Wyze cameras are fantastic, and with a little troubleshooting, they’re as reliable as ever. If anyone else is stuck, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help!
