Troubleshooting

1. Confirm that your Wyze app is up to date.
   1. In your Wyze app, navigate to the Account tab > tap About.
   2. Your current app version will be listed beneath the Wyze logo. 
   3. Compare your app version to the latest app version listed on our Release Notes & Firmware page.
   4. If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store, and update the Wyze app.
2. If possible, check that your Wyze Video Doorbell v2’s firmware is up to date.
   1. You can check this by going to the Account tab > Firmware Update.

   3. Tap Customize Detections.

   4. Next to Other Motion, ensure that the boxes are checked for both the Tag and Notify columns.

   5. Attempt to trigger the doorbell by creating movement in front of the device.

   6. Notes:

      • For users who do not have a Wyze Services subscription enabled, there will automatically be a 5-minute cooldown period between thumbnails.

      • For Wyze Services users, once recordings for Other Motion are being generated, you can select the desired AI recordings by checking the other options in the Tag and Notify columns.
