This unit has a few new features over the V3. Unfortunately, it seems to "get lost" and will end up pointing at the sky (ours is invert mounted). After a fresh "motor calibration" the unit is fine. It is holding it's presets fine just something buggy in the position sensors. Hopefully there will be a firmware fix soon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The camera is sharp and great. The software needs a lot of work to allow for those in the Wyze ecosystem to use it in tandem with other cameras. The waypoints do not work accurately on a repeated basis.

I’ve owned every single camera by Wyze, and I think this is the worst one by far. I was excited for the 4k option but there are more negatives than positives. First the way point only option is the dumbest feature I’ve ever seen in a pan can camera. Why must it always go to a certain point instead of where I left off? Also the camera lags. I’m a gigabit internet so I’m pretty sure it’s not my internet connection. I have two other 2.5k Wyze cams and they don’t have the same issue. I would say skip this and just purchase the regular 2.5k cam.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, we’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Wyze Cam Pan v4. We truly value your feedback and want to address the concerns you’ve raised. Here’s some information that might help: Waypoints Issue
The Wyze Cam Pan v4 is designed to return to its Home Waypoint or a set Detection Zone after 15 seconds of being idle. If this behavior is causing inconvenience, you can try the following: Disable the Detection Zone: Go to the camera’s settings in the Wyze app. Tap Detection Settings > Detection Zone. Toggle off Detection Zone. Adjust Waypoints: Under the camera’s live stream, swipe left/right on the toolbar to find Pan Control. Tap the pencil icon to edit existing Waypoints. Remove and re-add Waypoints one at a time, testing between each adjustment. Note: The Home Waypoint cannot be deleted, but can be updated to a new position. Lagging Issue
While your internet connection seems strong, the lag could be related to the camera’s firmware. Please ensure your Wyze Cam Pan v4 is running the latest firmware: Open the Wyze app and go to the Account tab. Select Firmware Update to check for any available updates. If an update is available, proceed with updating the camera. We understand how frustrating these issues can be, especially when you’ve had positive experiences with other Wyze cameras. If these steps don’t resolve the problems, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team for further assistance. We’re here to help!

It will NOT stay on the location I set it to. Drifts all the time.

Camera twitches when using live mode??? For some reason it twitches when I'm watching it in live mode versus the actual recorded version. So I don't know what that is in regards to like it's recalibration. Definitely an issue.

The item works really well. The only problem I don’t like is if you touch it outside there, solar panel does not work with it. I had to run line into my garage to get this to work. I hope eventually they’ll make it where they can use the solar panel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

09/20/25 UPDATE- I exchanged the pan v4, and the replacement is working excellent. I've learned to chose between track motion or pan. Camera will lag if both, and if you're watching your driveway, camera will keep notifying you, CAR! Its the family car and its stationary most of the time. So I just use the pan scan so I can keep a good eye on everything. If you do track motion, the motion of the camera will focus on parked car, and miss everything. The power cord sucks. If its not broken, don't fix it. The usbc upgrade stinks and adapters from the micro usb not good to keep power to the cam. Had to get a high charge usb c cable instead. Time will tell how it goes. 10/03 still working, the update did help with pan motion tag for stationary vehicles. Keeps a good extra eye on my front lawn
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really liked this camera, very clear picture, less delay. The one problem I had and why I sent it back is, it is not compatible with Cam Protect package, which I need.
