Yeah, There are definitely trails of inconsistent odd behaviors all across these forums. Sorry youāve got a humdinger thereā¦
I wonder if it stems from the whole dimmed playback issue once they switched to the 64-bit codebase.
Do you ever get IR feedback from dust on the oculus? I know the v2 run 850nm and Pans are 940nm (tactical). 850nm IR is known to emit a faint red glow. Wonder if somethingās funky w/your IR emitters.
Iād totally let Wyze replace all or your cams just to say you did.
pink flash issue - usu the IR filter getting stuck and not retracting completely. Then the camera adjusts to the new light level and may get a flare as well.
thereās a hazy, smokey hue and the image isnāt as clear. Believe there is outgassing from the glue used in assembly. There are a few youtube video on how to disassemble and clean.
Just chiming in here to say this firmware update still doesnāt fix the pink flash / click detection at camera startup that has been going on for the last 2 firmware releases. Get with the program Wyze!!
Like Resist, Iām sick of complaining about this. Itās a super easy fix, and I shouldnāt have to keep rolling back to old firmware just because your support team is too ******* incompetent to fix such a basic issue!
Clearly Wyze hired terrible programmers or their bosses wonāt let them spend the time to fix the bugs, because theyāre pushing new products instead. Seems like the founders at Wyze just want to increase revenue so they can sell the company.
solid yellow light. will not reset by itself, or with the sd card.

i looked for a stock firmware version, but most searches lead to firmware for the android app, not the camera. even if they did, the reset process is not working. i would appreciate your help as soon as possible, as i need to get this camera up and running, as i need it to get people vandalizing property.
i do not prefer one solution over another, aside from whichever solves the problem faster.
thank you for your time and consideration in this matter
Am I correct? You have an Android phone with Wyze Application 2.24.23 (September 1, 2021)
and the cameraās firmware was updated to 4.9.7.798.
Now you have a solid yellow light and reset doesnāt work.
Suggest you try download the older f/w to 4.9.6.241 (March 9, 2021) and manual flashing the camera.
My Pan bricked and I tried both the factory reset and flashing versions going back a year, and none brought it back to life. I was sent a replacement camera, which I wonāt be updating until I see much more success in the forums.
Iām intrigued by an earlier attempt that held the reset button with a C-clamp for an hour and unbricked a camera. I need to find some suitable hardware to try that.
Iām wondering if thereās a write-protected factory firmware image in the camera or if the factory reset just wipes parameters and uses the last code flashed. If the latter, then thereās no hope if the firmware has an issue with the hardware. I donāt understand how holding the button for an hour would save the device in either case. Iāve tried for up to a minute and it didnāt recover.
Well hell, pollās only been up a day, but now Iām on the fence. Probably should climb back down because ultimately I hate re-aiming these things when Iāve got 'em just so.
Another uncertainty (for me) is whether there will be another firmware version - at least for the v2 which has an able successor in the v3.
Although theyāre still selling v2 through HD bundled with Sense Starter Kit, soā¦
If another v2 version is not released, presumably I will be able to flash the current version through the app any time into the foreseeable future.
Disclosure, my situation is probably not typical, as I have legacy Person Detection (which meets my needs) and an older tablet (which meets my needs) that is now OS excluded by current versions of the Wyze app.
okay. i downloaded what you told me to, and followed the instructions to manually flash the camera. The solid yellow light never changes. no matter how long i hold it down, whether it is before, or after(i tried every combo that i could think of) and it stays yellow. it does make a single click noise , just a few seconds after plugging it in. it sounds similar to the noise you hear when switching the night vision on and off.
The click sound if the IR filter moving in front of the lens.
After unpacking (un-zip) the demo_4.9.6.241.bin.zip youāll have a file named demo_4.9.6.241.bin.
Rename this file to demo.bin and put it on a uSD card, 32GB (or smaller) format as FAT32.
With the uSD card in the Cam, Hold down the reset button and add power to the Cam.
If youāve already done this and still have the yellow lamp then open a Support Ticket.

Just updated 3 v2 cameras this morning. One of them bricked. What I do not get is Wyzeās response when io reached out. After trying to restart, reflash and reset the camera, they basically said SOL since you are out of warranty. Geez, your firmware bricked my device, which was working fine and your answer is to give me a coupon and by another camera so you can brick in the future?? Fool me onceā¦.
