I have the detection grid on my white v2. I had assumed when I purchased a black V2, it would also have the detection grid. It does not. It appears the firmware is different between the two.
Pretty disappointed as I had a specific use for the black V2, but I need the detection grid. Any ideas?
Make sure both cameras have the same firmware version - update if necessary.
What are the firmware versions on each? Does the app not signal that an update is available in the black v2? Maybe a manual firmware flash to a more recent firmware is in the near future?
Did you perhaps have a beta version of the app at one point but not any more? That might be why your cameras have different version. If you got a beta firmware installed on one camera, then went back to non-beta app…I bet it wouldn’t bug you to downgrade.
I you need to bring a camera back to an older (read: non-beta) firmware, you can use these instructions: https://wyzelabs.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031490871-How-to-flash-your-Wyze-Cam-firmware-manually
So, the white v2 (which I’ve had for awhile) appears to have the latest firmware.
The new V2 I just got does not appear to have the same firmware, but also does not show an update available.
I do not have access to a pc, so I don’t think I’ll be able to flash firmware. 
I have the beta app and am in the beta program.
Mine was able to be updated to the latest FW .241. When I had issues in the past, I physically unplugged the camera for about 5 minutes (might have been longer than needed), cleared the Cache from the app and then long pressed the app and force stopped and clear cache from there. Then I rebooted my phone. Once the Camera was plugged in, and the phine restarted, I tried the FW update again and it worked for me.
Might have been overkill but it worked. 
Have you also tried doing the updated from the Camera Device Info and / or the FW update in the Accounts area?
I haven’t tried turning it off for 5 minutes. Though, when I initially set it up I did have it unplugged for a few days after updating the firmware until I got my new bird feeder put up. So, I’ll try to do what you did and try again.
No joy. I did go to the firmware within the camera settings and I have the option to revert back to the previous version, but it says it’s up to date.
I honestly don’t know why I can’t get the detection grid on this camera. Ugh.
Thats a Bummer. Maybe roll it back and then restart and try the upgrade again.
@towelkingdom I have a NIB Black V2 waiting for it’s WORV to arrive. I could set it up to see if I see the same issue.
That would be cool if you’d be willing to do that!
@R.Good no need! I finally got it to trigger the update. I don’t know what I did, but I think it had to do with me toggling off and back on the beta in the settings.
To everyone who tried to help me: thank you! Y’all are awesome!
I am in the same place you were 
If you go to account>about>beta program in the Wyze app you can toggle off the beta program from different devices. I turned them all off. Closed the app, cleared the cache, opened the app. Go back and toggle them all back on, close app, clear cache. Then I unplugged the black camera that didn’t have the grid for 5 minutes. Plugged it back in. Waited about 10 minutes (I got busy and forgot) opened the app. Went to the live view of the black camera and the update popped up.
I am. Lemme try to goose it.
Cool thanks.
I removed all devices from my Beta list and re-added them and a slew of updates popped up.
Updating now.
Thanks!
really. You simply removed the Devices in the Beta FW list only? Did you restart the app?
This is definitely easier than how I did it.
I didn’t. Removed Re-added refreshed the screen and Updates showed.
I just did it and there were updates to my V2’s and my Vacuum. Might have been a coincidence.
