Problem
Your camera is not recording smart AI detections even though you have Cam Plus.
Troubleshooting
- Check that your Wyze app is up to date.
- In your Wyze app, navigate to the Account tab > tap About.
- Your current app version will be listed beneath the Wyze logo.
- Compare your app version to the latest app version listed on our Release Notes & Firmware page.
- If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store and update the Wyze app.
- Confirm that your camera’s firmware is up to date.
- You can check this by going to the Account tab > Firmware Update.
- If there is an update available for the camera, please move forward with updating it.
- Verify that you have an active Cam Plus subscription.
- You can check this by logging into my.wyze.com or in the Wyze app by going to the Account tab > Services.
- Ensure that the camera is set to record correctly.
- Open the live stream of the camera and wait until the camera fully connects.
- Navigate to the settings > Event Recording.
- For motion: Toggle motion detection off and then back on.
- For sound: Toggle sound detection off and then back on.
- Note: Sound detection is not available on all Wyze Cam models.
- For smart detections: Once motion or sound is enabled, toggle the related AI detections off and then back on.
- Increase the motion and sound detection sensitivities.
- Increased sensitivity improves the camera's chances of triggering recordings.
- Navigate back to the camera's live stream and wait at least 30 minutes for the camera to record events.
- Restart your camera.
- This can be done in the camera’s settings > Restart Camera > Restart.
- Note: This option is not available for Wyze Cam Outdoor or Wyze Video Doorbells.
- Reset the service.
- Navigate to the camera's settings > Reset Services > Reset.
- Walk through setting up the camera like new.
- Note: Do not delete the camera before walking through the setup process.
