But there is again a gadget solution to this side of the problem. But again, if you are far away, you can’t do it. The solution to this is usually to unplug and replug the router/modem. If that happens, you wouldn’t even be able to communicate with the smart plug. That is when the local internet wifi router or modem has problems. Now let me go on to another situation that can cause the camera to be unresponsive.
That is why I recommend, for people with cameras in remote locations, to install a smart plug between the camera and the wall socket. However, if the entire camera’s operation system is hung, there is no way that it can communicate to the outside world, and therefore there is no technical way to get the signal to it for it to restart. That is why you can restart the camera from the app even if the video stream will not connect. They did that, cleverly, by using a completely different communication channel. In the case of the camera, Wyze has already built in the ability to restart it remotely if the program running the video stream has crashed but the operating system is still running. You could still restart the computer using the menus or keyboard combination.īut if the entire operating system got hung and the computer was totally unresponsive (eg, blue screen of death)? Then you would have to physically force restart the entire computer by holding the power button. You were able to do that because the whole operating system had not crashed. You have undoubtedly had the situation where a program running on your computer got hung up and you had to force restart it. Now imagine the you left your home computer running such a program. Think of the video feed as a program running on that computer (which it is). Think of the camera as a tiny computer (which it is). Let me try to explain again because I don’t think I did that great a job the first time. Not meant to challenge but why would there “never be a remote restart…”? Doesn’t seem like it should be that big of an issue to simply remotely disconnect the AC and then reconnect.
