The Wyze Cam Pan is a smart home security camera that can be controlled via the Wyze app. The camera has a Pan Scan feature that allows it to continuously pan and pause at predefined waypoints. While this feature is useful for surveillance, some users may prefer to keep the camera stationary, especially when monitoring a specific area or when concerned about the camera's motor durability. To stop the Wyze Cam Pan from scanning and rotating, users can update the camera's firmware, ensure secure power connections, disable the Track Motion setting, and turn off the Pan Scan feature.

What You'll Learn
Ensure the camera's power cable and adapter are fully and securely inserted
If you want to stop your Wyze Cam Pan from rotating or scanning, one possible solution is to ensure that the camera's power cable and adapter are fully and securely inserted. Here are some detailed steps and tips to help you with this process:
First, locate the power cable and adapter. The power cable is the cord that connects the camera to a power source, such as an electrical outlet or power adapter. The adapter is the small box or device that may be attached to the power cable, allowing the camera to receive the correct voltage.
Next, check that both ends of the power cable are firmly plugged into the camera and the power source or adapter. Give each end a gentle tug to ensure it is secure and properly seated. If the cable is loose, unplug it and reinsert it firmly, making sure that it is inserted in the correct orientation.
Similarly, check that the adapter is securely connected to both the power cable and the power source. Again, ensure that the connections are firm and that the adapter is properly seated. If the adapter feels loose or wiggles when you touch it, unplug and reinsert it to ensure a secure connection.
You may also try using a different power cable, adapter, or power outlet to ensure that the issue is not related to inconsistent power delivery. This can help determine if the original cable or adapter is faulty or if there is an issue with the power source.
By following these steps and ensuring that the power cable and adapter are fully and securely inserted, you can help prevent your Wyze Cam Pan from resetting and inadvertently rotating or scanning.

Ensure the camera's power cable and adapter are fully and securely inserted into the power outlet. If the camera is still not receiving enough power, it may be resetting, which causes it to rotate while initializing.

Turn off Track Motion
To stop your Wyze Cam Pan from rotating, you can turn off Track Motion. This feature is designed to make the camera deviate from its Pan Scan waypoints to follow any motion that is detected.
- Open the Wyze app on your mobile device.
- Access the camera's Live Stream.
- Locate the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and slide it from right to left to access the Track Motion setting.
- Tap on the Track Motion icon to turn it off. The icon will appear grey when it is successfully deactivated.
By turning off Track Motion, your Wyze Cam Pan will no longer automatically follow detected motion and will instead remain at its set waypoints.
It is important to note that updating your camera's firmware and ensuring it has a secure power connection might also help prevent unexpected rotation.

Turn off Pan Scan
To turn off Pan Scan on your Wyze Cam Pan, you must first access the camera's Live Stream. From there, you can slide the toolbar to Pan Scan and tap to turn it off. The icon will be grey when it is successfully turned off.
It is important to note that the Pan Scan feature on Wyze Cam Pan allows the camera to continuously pan and pause at predefined waypoints. This can be customised by setting up waypoints using the directional control pad and tapping "Set" when the camera is in the desired position.
The Pan Scan feature can be used in conjunction with Motion Tagging and Motion Tracking. When Motion Tagging is enabled, any detected motion will be framed by a green box. On the other hand, Motion Tracking will cause the camera to deviate from the Pan Scan waypoints and follow the detected motion. Once motion is no longer detected, the camera will resume its Pan Scan mode.
If you wish to disable the automatic rotation of your Wyze Cam Pan, you can also try updating your camera's firmware to the latest version, ensuring that the power cable and adapter are securely connected, and checking if a Detection Zone has been set up. Inconsistent power supply may cause the camera to reset and rotate during initialisation. Therefore, it is recommended to try a different power cable, adapter, or outlet if the camera is not receiving adequate power.
