Problem
Your Wyze Bulb Cam Pan Color’s light keeps flickering even though the camera is working normally.
Troubleshooting
- Replace Wyze Bulb Cam Pan Color with a regular bulb in the same socket to check if the socket is working normally.
- Check if the camera is in a socket with a dimmer switch.
- If it is in a socket with a dimmer switch, we recommend moving the camera to a different socket, or change to a regular on/off switch
- Note: If using dimmer switches, the brightness will need to be adjusted within the Wyze app only. Using the physical dimmer switch will not change brightness and will cause functionality problems.
- If it is in a dimmer switch and cannot be moved to a different socket, ensure that the dimmer switch is turned up to its highest setting.
- If it is in a socket with a dimmer switch, we recommend moving the camera to a different socket, or change to a regular on/off switch
