Wyze Camera Motion Tagging Disabled: How to Fix It

Q: Why did my Wyze camera motion tagging get disabled?

Motion tagging can be disabled accidentally through app updates, settings changes, or if someone with account access turned it off. It's a software setting that can be easily re-enabled.

Q: What's the difference between motion detection and motion tagging?

Motion detection is the camera's ability to sense movement and trigger recordings or alerts. Motion tagging adds visual overlay boxes on the video feed to show exactly where motion was detected.

Q: Can I customize what types of motion get tagged?

Yes, newer Wyze cameras allow you to select specific detection types like person detection, vehicle detection, or general motion. You can enable or disable tagging for each type in the advanced settings.

Q: Will enabling motion tagging affect my camera's battery life?

Motion tagging is a software overlay feature that doesn't significantly impact battery life on wireless cameras. The actual motion detection processing has more impact than the visual tagging.

Abstract

The "Motion tagging disabled" message on your Wyze camera means the motion detection overlay tags have been turned off in your camera settings. This is a simple setting issue that prevents you from seeing the colored boxes that highlight detected motion in your video feed.
