Just what I was looking for. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe They did go on sale a week after my purchase, talked with Amazon folks and got some money back. This is my only gripe so far with them. These are not perfect by any means, but so far they are doing what I hoped they would do. Range on the motion detection is about what I expected, same with night vision. Easy installation also, targeting a specific area for the view was also easy
I did all of this with my first Wyze cam 2, and it installed very easily. The second camera will not function, when you press the setup button nothing happens, no tone, no ready to connect, just silence. I tried several times so I believe the camera is just defective.
My first V2 model connected to wifi easily but the phone notifications didn't work. Returned that one and on my second unit I had trouble getting connected to wifi. I did pretty much all the steps, reset to factory specs and rebooted phone. I finally went into my router settings, turned off the security features, turned off the 5Ghz radio, and rebooted the router (via the software reboot button). After a second (or third ?) factory reset and, the router tweaks, it finally connected. Before the router tweaks I did verify the unit was trying to connect to a 2.4Ghz radio. Right away a phone notification worked as well, once. I'll give it a cool off period to try the notifications again.
Please help me ? I tried to download the software for the Wyse cam v3 camera, they say free but they ask for my credit card. There is so much internet fraud that I don't trust giving out my credit card. Is this a possibility of fraud? Why is it so complex to operate this camera with my cell phone?
Just bought one today. I watch your videos with your daughter.. I was not looking for a camera, but I trust you which sounds so dumb as a consumer, but that is why I bought it. I do need a second camera at my house so it will be helpful
Advice given in his first 30 seconds solved the problem. Initially I was unable to add new cam, advice on cam was to retry login credentials, that failed. then restart modem/router - that failed. He said to shut off wyze app, disconnect new cam, then retry. Worked .
I kept getting the "Connection Failed" issue when connecting the camera to the wireless network. It took me an hour to figure out that I needed to connect to the 2.4 GHz network. Yes, I knew this but I have two networks and connected to the wrong one. I also connected my phone to the 2.4 GHz network. I have had this device for over a year and not once have I ever heard a voice during set-up. I think it helps to move the camera directly around the QR code. It's a good sign when the lights blink yellow and blue, which means it's attempting to connect to your network. The last step in the set-up process should take about 30 seconds. If it's taking too long to connect, there's something wrong with the network. Don't bother waiting 5 minutes for it to connect.

Hope you were able to return them for a refund. Lefun Cams are much better, so are YI cams. Wyze has horrible track record with their products, all but for the price which what good is price point when the product is poorest working on the market!
What's the best sensitivity to receive notifications for human movement? I have placed the camera in my house facing out a window. I want all humans in the 20m distance (up until the end of my driveway) to trigger motion but not the cars on the road past the 20m point. Any advice on which sensitivity for motion would be the best for that?
having problem with scan barcode? DO NOT listen to Wyze 'hold the Camera 5 inches', it never works! after trying several times with different distances and it still not working, you should try: #1. Reset to the factory default by press the 'Reset' button for 10 seconds, the Red light will turn off and then on with a solid Red light (not 'Ready to connect') #2. Press the 'Reset Button' to hear the 'Ready to connect' #3. Here is the important part, hold your phone with Barcode and start from the distance 20 inches (not 5 inches even with the tablet) and then very slowly move close to the Camera This worked for me!
I'm trying to setup the wyze cam v2 for the second time and the camera just isn't responding, the first time I was able to carry out the setup without any hazzels. After setup was completed for the first time, for some reason, I removed the camera from the app and i'm unable to carry out the setup again as the camera isn't responding. How do I setup the camera again ? The part where the camera responds ready to connect is where I'm stuck at. Kindly revert.

Hi: I had a dickens of a time this afternoon getting it connected. We have a 2.4 system but I had to go into my wireless settings and change them. A little inconvenient, but the picture is incredible. I have an outdoor camera which I got on Christmas. I charged it. And we are one week full into using it. I've set it up outside in a great spot and I haven't had to charge it yet. Incredible cameras. I bought two of the $20 ones and still INCREDIBLE pictures and functions.

I was really happy with my cams until one stopped working after firmware upgrade. I have reset a few times and I can’t get it to connect. I have been trying to get in-touch with Wyzecam and they have not responded to emails and my phone calls drop after 10 min on hold when I am number two or three in line. What is going. On?? I also ordered a version 2 when they sent an email and have no idea when it will drive. I sure hope they are not screwing customers.
I caught your comment on the Tips On Tuesday video and I'm going to copy it here to make sure you see it. :) Goodness! That is a lot and I am sorry to hear about it! If you still haven't heard back from us, please give me your support ticket number so that I can move you through the process myself. As for the phones, we were overwhelmed with calls last week due to all of the news and missed way too many of them. We are so sorry that impacted you. For your order, I have happy news! You pre-ordered v2 and those start shipping out this week. That's why you hadn't heard anything yet. When your order ships out you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number. Depending on when you pre-ordered, your order will ship either this week or next week. :)
So bummed this isn't connecting to my internet. I don't know if I run on 5G or how to decrease the speed. Why can't you make a camera that works on 5G?
No shit! 2 of my cameras hook up just fine now the 3rd won’t and they say it has to be less. Even went to the garage to see if it went down 2.4 no luck! Stupid!
the problem I have is that I put the camera on a cover to put it outside. to reset I unplug the plug from the outlet. still does not work it is very frustrating. To push that button I have to take the cover off. Is any other way to do this procedure. Help.
My issue when powering the Wyze cam and connecting again was a steady yellow light light and then apparently shutting off. The factory reset fixed this.
When I get to the "Select a network" it shows my network but indicates that it is locked which it is not. I have checked my settings and confirmed that it is not locked. If I attempt to connect, the connection fails
I was able to setup the cam 3 and view camera thru my smartphone. However, when I try to connect remotely, it doesn't connect. Please assist in troubleshooting
This Camera and company are having really hard time.... the problem with QR codes and failure to recognize the SD cards is rampant... it's getting old and idk how this company can press forward with these problems.
Got a new router from isp. Eero smart router. I have gone through the steps, but cameras say the can not find network. I have gone through the eero app to change settings,but can not find where to switch networks.
Was having the same issue. I Kept reading the comments and I found the answer. If u haven’t figured it out yet, You have to basically just start over and go thru set up again. Click ‘add new product’ and go from there.
@@nikki-xc9kh The eero 5g network overpowers all others. I called Eero tech support and they turn off the 5g network so I could ad my wyze cameras. soon as I was able to connect, they turn 5g back on.

PLEASE HELPPPPP!!!!!!! My Wyze cam is connected to the home network wi-fi. Whenever I leave home I try and view my camera on my cellphone to check in on my animals, but it will not let me. It keeps showing me connection failed or camera not connected. I have even tried my mobile data only when I'm home and it says the same thing, but as soon as I connect my mobile phone to my home network wi-fi it lets me view it perfectly fine. When I am away from home the app still sends me alerts and playback videos of motion and I'm able to view them but can't connect via live stream. Please help I need to be able to check on my animals when I'm away from home because one of them has severe anxiety every time it storms and I'm not home. Anxiously awaiting your reply.

Ok i have a wyze 3 we did a reset our problem is we get login to our network and move to scan there is already a QR code showing so we dont get the message from the cam saying i heard "QR Scanned we have tried a lo to different things 1 our camera setting ( the camera scans other QR codes no problem ) ( but if we do click 1 Heard the qR code and move to next the unit keeps saying ready to conect . any idea why and what to do .
My cameras are not recording events, I've checked everything, they were recording but I noticed the past couple days they haven't recorded anything. Memory card is fine and has alot of space, I've reset the cams, I've checked my settings. I don't understand
I bought 2 wyze cam , the install went fine and then it asked for upgrade immediately , after 5 min it said upgrade failed and it stopped working ever since .. I removed the devise and tried to add it back but it always shows the solid yellow light (doesn't blink) . I tried to unplug , tried to press the reset button for 20 sec( no change at all ) , but nothing seem to work .. please suggest
The set up button is not prompting ready to connect. How hard do you press it? I’ve tried lightly and harder and now the button is bending slightly into the hole. How on earth do I set this up? Light is staying on flashing yellow.
Audio pick up(mic)is too sensitive even at lowest setting( 1 )and gives a very noticable feedback. -vice versa, cam speaker is too loud and is getting picked up by mic thus creating a very distorted sound.. any fix for this? I hope im not the only one having this issue.. Im really happy with my purchase since video quality is very clear and crisp. Plus installation and setup is very easy not to mention the very user-friendly app. Please patch/fix/resolve audio problem.
Oh thank you just couldn't figure out the 5g thing I have 3 and don't remember doing that with my other ones ? But it worked!!! Thanks, had trouble with the scan 🤪

I setup two cameras yesterday and this morning one of them stopped working it kept giving an error code so I deleted the camera and I am trying to re add but it's not allowing me to because when I select the setup button I hear nothing and the yellow light is not flashing
I changed my wifi and now my Wyze Came Pan isn't scanning the QR code, I tried to delete the camera off my app and factory reset the camera and it just says "Ready to connect" I have it on 2.4GHz too
The red light is always on. Not ready to connect... I don't know if the push button is working... What should I do now? It would be great to give a video link of it. Please help.
Hi there! Our support team would be glad to look into this further. If you haven't already, you can reach them by submitting a support request using this link: support.wyze.com/hc/en-us
Grabbing the camera too firmly can push the base into the reset button and cause loss of the cam. After many many tries to connect again using my cell phone we loaded the Wyze App onto a tablet and the camera read the QR code immediately.
Hello there! We think it would be good to set up some detection zones here. That way, you can prevent your cameras from following unnecessary movements. You can learn more about that here: support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030147091-Detection-Settings-and-Zones

Hope you were able to return them for a refund. Lefun Cams are much better, so are YI cams. Wyze has horrible track record with their products, all but for the price which what good is price point when the product is poorest working on the market!
What's the best sensitivity to receive notifications for human movement? I have placed the camera in my house facing out a window. I want all humans in the 20m distance (up until the end of my driveway) to trigger motion but not the cars on the road past the 20m point. Any advice on which sensitivity for motion would be the best for that?
having problem with scan barcode? DO NOT listen to Wyze 'hold the Camera 5 inches', it never works! after trying several times with different distances and it still not working, you should try:
#1. Reset to the factory default by press the 'Reset' button for 10 seconds, the Red light will turn off and then on with a solid Red light (not 'Ready to connect')
#2. Press the 'Reset Button' to hear the 'Ready to connect'
#3. Here is the important part, hold your phone with Barcode and start from the distance 20 inches (not 5 inches even with the tablet) and then very slowly move close to the Camera
This worked for me!
That"ready to connect" is creeping me out, it only needs to say that once! It continually says it and now that's all i hear in my head
I'm trying to setup the wyze cam v2 for the second time and the camera just isn't responding, the first time I was able to carry out the setup without any hazzels. After setup was completed for the first time, for some reason, I removed the camera from the app and i'm unable to carry out the setup again as the camera isn't responding. How do I setup the camera again ? The part where the camera responds ready to connect is where I'm stuck at. Kindly revert.
READY TO CONNECT WITH A YELLOW LIGHT BUT ON MY PHONE THE SCREEN IS BLACK WHERE IT SAYS OFFLINE. i TOOK TOOK THE PLUG OUT OF THE BASE STATION AND WAITED 3 MIN. THE FRONT PORCH IS WORKING BUT THE LIVING ROOM IS STILL BLACK SCREEN. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE?
Every 3 hours one stops working ..I got 3 around the house and 1 stops working
When will wyze repair the playback function on wyze doorbell timeline section of app? Always getting error message that says no player available. This is really ridiculous. Why can't wyze just send the video player already.
Hi:
I had a dickens of a time this afternoon getting it connected. We have a 2.4 system but I had to go into my wireless settings and change them. A little inconvenient, but the picture is incredible. I have an outdoor camera which I got on Christmas. I charged it. And we are one week full into using it. I've set it up outside in a great spot and I haven't had to charge it yet. Incredible cameras. I bought two of the $20 ones and still INCREDIBLE pictures and functions.
Please help me ?
I tried to download the software for the Wyse cam v3 camera, they say free but they ask for my credit card. There is so much internet fraud that I don't trust giving out my credit card. Is this a possibility of fraud?
Why is it so complex to operate this camera with my cell phone?
I was really happy with my cams until one stopped working after firmware upgrade. I have reset a few times and I can’t get it to connect. I have been trying to get in-touch with Wyzecam and they have not responded to emails and my phone calls drop after 10 min on hold when I am number two or three in line. What is going. On?? I also ordered a version 2 when they sent an email and have no idea when it will drive. I sure hope they are not screwing customers.
I caught your comment on the Tips On Tuesday video and I'm going to copy it here to make sure you see it. :)
Goodness! That is a lot and I am sorry to hear about it! If you still haven't heard back from us, please give me your support ticket number so that I can move you through the process myself.
As for the phones, we were overwhelmed with calls last week due to all of the news and missed way too many of them. We are so sorry that impacted you.
For your order, I have happy news! You pre-ordered v2 and those start shipping out this week. That's why you hadn't heard anything yet. When your order ships out you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number. Depending on when you pre-ordered, your order will ship either this week or next week. :)
So bummed this isn't connecting to my internet. I don't know if I run on 5G or how to decrease the speed. Why can't you make a camera that works on 5G?
No shit! 2 of my cameras hook up just fine now the 3rd won’t and they say it has to be less. Even went to the garage to see if it went down 2.4 no luck! Stupid!
I can’t connect to WiFi
Thank you!!! This Video helped me get the cam to work!!! I was giving up! Thanks again!
You're welcome! Happy to hear that we were able to help! :D
@@wyze i still can't connect my wyze cam pan.
the problem I have is that I put the camera on a cover to put it outside. to reset I unplug the plug from the outlet. still does not work it is very frustrating. To push that button I have to take the cover off. Is any other way to do this procedure. Help.
my QR scan code is to big and the bottom is covered up the "next" so it wont scan. help !! trying to research it, hopefully i can figure it out
Very nice 👍
I'm having trouble formatting my card on my wyze pan security camera can you please help?
Nothing new and Wyze knows it, but they keep selling them with faulty SD card readers. Horrible company, imo.
My issue when powering the Wyze cam and connecting again was a steady yellow light light and then apparently shutting off. The factory reset fixed this.
Mine keeps saying "can not find specific network name" ???? What does that mean? I already tried emailing customer service and zero help
When I get to the "Select a network" it shows my network but indicates that it is locked which it is not. I have checked my settings and confirmed that it is not locked. If I attempt to connect, the connection fails
I was able to setup the cam 3 and view camera thru my smartphone. However, when I try to connect remotely, it doesn't connect. Please assist in troubleshooting
I did all this steps and still say “can not find network”? The other wyze camera works find.
I'm having trouble getting my notifications to show up. They only show up while I am already I'm the app, viewing the camera
This Camera and company are having really hard time....
the problem with QR codes and failure to recognize the SD cards is rampant...
it's getting old and idk how this company can press forward with these problems.
it was working great, Now it won't ! I unplugged it and replugged it and I get nothing . no light at all!
Same thing happened to me!
Got a new router from isp. Eero smart router. I have gone through the steps, but cameras say the can not find network. I have gone through the eero app to change settings,but can not find where to switch networks.
Was having the same issue. I Kept reading the comments and I found the answer. If u haven’t figured it out yet, You have to basically just start over and go thru set up again. Click ‘add new product’ and go from there.
@@nikki-xc9kh The eero 5g network overpowers all others. I called Eero tech support and they turn off the 5g network so I could ad my wyze cameras. soon as I was able to connect, they turn 5g back on. My signal is the best it has ever been and all of my cameras are 100% operational. Thanks to eero tech support
PLEASE HELPPPPP!!!!!!! My Wyze cam is connected to the home network wi-fi. Whenever I leave home I try and view my camera on my cellphone to check in on my animals, but it will not let me. It keeps showing me connection failed or camera not connected. I have even tried my mobile data only when I'm home and it says the same thing, but as soon as I connect my mobile phone to my home network wi-fi it lets me view it perfectly fine. When I am away from home the app still sends me alerts and playback videos of motion and I'm able to view them but can't connect via live stream. Please help I need to be able to check on my animals when I'm away from home because one of them has severe anxiety every time it storms and I'm not home. Anxiously awaiting your reply.
Im going to sell mine on offer up, this camera is really bad, it disconnects constantly and the its really hard to connect the camera if you update the firmware.
I'm having problems with the sound in one of my camaras it comes and goes ,what can I do to fix it ?
I just got a new router the other day and now my Wyze cam v3 and floodlight cam is not connecting to the internet pls help

My wyze cam has a solid blue light, but the bridge has a solid yellow. How can I fix this?
I added two more cameras. I added them to an existing rule with the other cameras. But they're not showing up on my main screen with the existing cameras.
I have had my V2 camera connected before but now I cannot connect. I have a 5G Wi-Fi only! What to do? Please help
Ok i have a wyze 3 we did a reset our problem is we get login to our network and move to scan there is already a QR code showing so we dont get the message from the cam saying i heard "QR Scanned we have tried a lo to different things 1 our camera setting
( the camera scans other QR codes no problem ) ( but if we do click 1 Heard the qR code and move to next the unit keeps saying ready to conect . any idea why and what to do .
My cameras are not recording events, I've checked everything, they were recording but I noticed the past couple days they haven't recorded anything. Memory card is fine and has alot of space, I've reset the cams, I've checked my settings. I don't understand
I bought 2 wyze cam , the install went fine and then it asked for upgrade immediately , after 5 min it said upgrade failed and it stopped working ever since .. I removed the devise and tried to add it back but it always shows the solid yellow light (doesn't blink) . I tried to unplug , tried to press the reset button for 20 sec( no change at all ) , but nothing seem to work .. please suggest
The set up button is not prompting ready to connect. How hard do you press it? I’ve tried lightly and harder and now the button is bending slightly into the hole. How on earth do I set this up? Light is staying on flashing yellow.
My camera went down when I added a second camera. I am at work!! Is there nothing I can do from here?
Audio pick up(mic)is too sensitive even at lowest setting( 1 )and gives a very noticable feedback. -vice versa, cam speaker is too loud and is getting picked up by mic thus creating a very distorted sound.. any fix for this? I hope im not the only one having this issue..
Im really happy with my purchase since video quality is very clear and crisp. Plus installation and setup is very easy not to mention the very user-friendly app.
Please patch/fix/resolve audio problem.
Oh thank you just couldn't figure out the 5g thing I have 3 and don't remember doing that with my other ones ? But it worked!!! Thanks, had trouble with the scan 🤪
That's great to hear! Thanks for letting us know. 🙂
I have very faint audio from my wyze cam pan. Can barely hear audio. Is there a fix to this?
Maybe is a stupid question... does it work cordless, meaning that it can be unplugged after charged?
i have two v2 pan cameras and they both not showing no lights at all, not even after restart or setup, and changing to working camera cords, also i did the sd update to factory reset cameras, these cameras are 49.00 each, thats 100 dollars gone in 6 months time. wheres the warranty. troubleshooting doesnt work.
I setup two cameras yesterday and this morning one of them stopped working it kept giving an error code so I deleted the camera and I am trying to re add but it's not allowing me to because when I select the setup button I hear nothing and the yellow light is not flashing
Tried three times exactly as you said and no luck junk!
I changed my wifi and now my Wyze Came Pan isn't scanning the QR code, I tried to delete the camera off my app and factory reset the camera and it just says "Ready to connect" I have it on 2.4GHz too
It won't connect to my Wifi,, tried several times always failed,Is this sign of that's it is done?time for a new one.?
The red light is always on. Not ready to connect... I don't know if the push button is working... What should I do now? It would be great to give a video link of it. Please help.
Hi there! Our support team would be glad to look into this further. If you haven't already, you can reach them by submitting a support request using this link: support.wyze.com/hc/en-us
Grabbing the camera too firmly can push the base into the reset button and cause loss of the cam. After many many tries to connect again using my cell phone we loaded the Wyze App onto a tablet and the camera read the QR code immediately.
My issue 2024 is the WYZE can pan 3 get more attention to the tv to the others events!!! So frustrating
Hello there! We think it would be good to set up some detection zones here. That way, you can prevent your cameras from following unnecessary movements. You can learn more about that here: support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030147091-Detection-Settings-and-Zones
Can this be connected to more than one phone? Our son needs this but I would also like to be able to monitor this when he cannot as he works in a place that blocks phone signals.
Hi, can I set up where the alert records more than 12sec? Perhaps 2 or more mins. Currently, If I don’t review the alert right away, I’m not able to get a full details of the incident. 12 seconds is not enough. Please help. Thanks
Bought two more recently. One doesn't talk during setup. Also, no sound from speaker during use. Siren doesn't work. Is there a volume setting? Can't find that setting anywhere
I am sorry this is happening, there is no volume control. You may have a defective unit, I would try to contact support for this one. go.wyze.com/3Cwn4jg
I don't have a router. It was working fine for 1.5 years without a router. What else can it be?
i stopped the recording on my phone and unplugged the camera to move it plugged the camera back in and held the set button now it keeps saying ready to connect but on my phone it says camera is turned off how do i turn the came on in my phone ?
Great UA-cam video. Thank you.
You're welcome!

Why is it so complex to operate this camera with my cell phone? All attempts to operate the camera have been unsuccessful. The only choice left to me is to return this camera.
absolute worst experience ever trying to get the V2 working. 4 devices and all had issues. Still not live streaming. And yes it is on 2GH not 5.8 and tried all the tips. None worked QR code impossible to load on 2 devices after 15 attempts each. Not good Wyze. Please help . I may make a youtube vid to get this resolved. Steve
I’m having a problem with my Cam Pan not recognizing my brand new San Disk 32gb sd card. I’ve inserted sd card and it does not make that sound you mentioned in another you tube. Plus on my camera entry it says no sd card inserted when it’s in there. Help?
Why am I not able use the microphone. It sends me to my settings but there is no microphone to turn on
I just received my pan cam and the audio is terrible I can not understand anything that the other person is saying I think the speaker is defective.
Sent an email and rec'd back an email that read unmonitored email system. Cam was working fine until I had to remove power, when power was reapplied the cam will not connect to router. No changes to router or password. 2.4 Ghz, WPA2 security, QR scan rec'd still no connect. Camera was working so well I ordered another for front of house, after this issue I'm returning camera and tossing the current one in the garbage. Impossible to get reliable support.
It still won’t connect to my wifi and I’ve done everything you suggested the wifi clearly works because all the other devices are working so idk why it’s saying connection failed
Omg that's Claire's dad! I couldn't figure out where I recognized him! Hi Claire's dad!
Hello I tried to connect wyze thru 2.4 wifi connection and doesnt work after it said qr code, please wait. Difficulty reaching wifi connection. I checked router and rebooted but issue wasn’t resolved. Please help. I went every steps multiple times.
