Wyze Cam Outdoor image sensor failure

[dr.know]

Others have had this problem on the Outdoor Camera WOC. Did you open a support ticket?
Here is a suggestion from @shifty189

Wyze Cam Outdoor bright IR flashes during night recording?

My thought is that when the lights first turn on they produce a bright flash. If that flash reflects off a surface like the ground, it affects the auto adjust. This could cause it to switch in and out of “night mode” before it finally figures out the correct adjustment to make. I don’t work for wyze or have any information other than educated guesses here.
