My Wyze Bulb Cam has poor image quality at night.

Problem

Your Wyze Bulb Cam’s live stream or recordings have poor image quality at night; the image shows a bloom on the side of the camera’s view at night when IR night vision is on.

Troubleshooting

1. Confirm that the 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 If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store, and update the Wyze app.
