Tools & Requirements
Installation Steps
Power On and Prepare App
Download the Wyze app and create an account. Plug your Wyze Cam into a power outlet using the provided USB cable and power adapter. Wait for the camera's status light to begin flashing red, which indicates that it is ready for the setup process to begin.
Add Device in Wyze App
In the Wyze app, tap the '+' icon in the top-left corner, then select 'Add Device'. Choose your specific Wyze Cam model from the list of available products. The app will then prompt you to begin the pairing process with your new camera.
Scan the QR Code
Follow the in-app instructions, which will require you to press the setup button on the bottom of the camera until you hear a beep. The app will then display a QR code on your phone's screen. Hold your phone in front of the Wyze Cam lens to scan the code.
Finalize Setup
Once the camera successfully scans the QR code, it will announce 'QR code scanned, please wait.' The camera will then complete the connection to your Wi-Fi network. Give your camera a name in the app, and the setup process is complete. You can now view the live stream.
