I have had three cameras now stop due to battery failure. I would love to recommend these cameras highly as they work great when they have a charge. The battery has to be fixed though.

Hi there! We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with the Wyze Solar Cam Pan’s battery performance. We understand how frustrating it can be when your cameras stop working due to battery issues, especially when everything else is working well. Your feedback is very important to us, and we want to help you get the most out of your devices. Here are some steps you can take to help address battery concerns:
Update the Wyze App and Firmware Make sure your Wyze app is up to date. Go to the Account tab > About to check your app version. Check for firmware updates for your Wyze Solar Cam Pan under Account > Firmware Update.
Check and Clean the Solar Panel Clean the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth. Inspect the solar panel’s cable for any damage, such as cuts, corrosion, or moisture.
Verify Cable Connection Ensure the solar panel’s cable is securely and correctly inserted into the camera.
Optimize Solar Panel Placement Make sure the solar panel receives at least 1 hour of direct sunlight per day. For best results, in the northern hemisphere, face the panel south with a 30° tilt; in the southern hemisphere, face it north with a 30° tilt. Remove any obstacles that could block sunlight.
Check Charging Status During a sunny midday, check the camera’s live stream in the app. The battery icon should show both a lightning bolt and a sun icon if charging via the solar panel.
If you continue to experience battery issues after these steps, please let us know. We’re here to support you and want to ensure your Wyze Solar Cam Pan works reliably for you. For more detailed troubleshooting, you can visit our Wyze Solar Cam Pan Troubleshooting Guide.

I love this camera. It was easy to install outside and the set up was easy. Great video quality and w I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone!
Camera is fine pan tilt works well. Problem is even with solar panel in direct sun most of the day Andra sometimes discharges all the way and requires recharge in house.
