Possible Reasons for Sporadic Movement
- Motion Detection Misconfiguration: The Wyze Cam Pan might be moving erratically if its motion detection settings are too sensitive, causing it to react to minor movements like shadows or changes in lighting.
- Network Issues: Inconsistent or weak network connections can cause the camera’s movements to become unpredictable as it struggles to receive commands from the app.
- Physical Obstructions or Loose Mounting: If the camera is not mounted securely or if there are obstacles in its path, it may result in random movements as it tries to adjust its angle.
- Firmware Bugs: Sometimes, software issues in the camera's firmware can lead to erratic behavior.
How to Fix the Problem
- Adjust Motion Sensitivity: Open the Wyze app, go to the camera settings, and adjust the motion sensitivity levels to a lower setting. This can help reduce unnecessary camera movement.
- Check Network Stability: Ensure that your Wi-Fi connection is stable and has sufficient bandwidth. Position the router closer to the camera or eliminate any sources of interference.
- Secure the Mount: Make sure the camera is securely positioned and that there are no objects within its rotating range. This can prevent undesired shifts in position.
- Update Firmware: Check if there is a new firmware update available for your Wyze Cam Pan. Update it through the Wyze app to ensure any known bugs are fixed.
- Factory Reset: If all else fails, perform a factory reset on the camera. This will erase all settings and restore the device to its original state. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on how to reset the camera.
