I recently encountered an issue with my Wyze Cam Outdoor where it was stuck on 0% battery with a critical error. After charging it for several hours, the light turned off, indicating a full charge. However, upon turning it back on, the app still showed the critical battery error. This was quite frustrating as I rely on this camera for outdoor surveillance.
I decided to try resetting the camera to see if that would resolve the issue. I unplugged it, waited for a few minutes, and then plugged it back in. After a short while, the camera powered on, and the app finally showed the correct battery level. It seems the battery wasn’t actually dead, but the system had a glitch.
For anyone else experiencing similar issues, I recommend trying a full reset by unplugging the camera and waiting a few minutes before plugging it back in. Additionally, ensuring the camera is charged in a cool, dry place can help maintain battery health. If the problem persists, it might be worth checking if the battery needs replacement.
Overall, while the issue was a bit concerning, a simple reset solved the problem. It’s a good reminder to always try basic troubleshooting steps before jumping to conclusions about hardware failure.
