Problem
Your Wyze Video Doorbell v2 is unable to pair and complete setup.
Troubleshooting
- Confirm your Wyze app is up to date.
- In your Wyze app, navigate to the Account tab > tap About.
- Your current app version will be listed beneath the Wyze logo.
- Compare your app version to the latest app version listed on our Release Notes & Firmware page.
- If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store, and update the Wyze app.
- Power off the doorbell by switching the breaker to the off position.
- Check all wiring to make sure it is secure.
- Make sure that Wyze Video Doorbell v2 and Wyze Doorbell Chime Controller are installed properly by following the steps in our Wyze Video Doorbell v2 Installation Guide.
- If you are ever unsure when dealing with wiring, we recommend reaching out to a licensed electrician at your discretion.
- Power on the doorbell by switching the breaker to the on position.
- Confirm whether the status light is on after powering up the doorbell.
- If not, refer to My Wyze Video Doorbell v2 won’t power on.
- Verify that Location Permissions are enabled for the Wyze app in your phone/tablet settings.
- Make sure that it is set to Always or While Using the App.
- For iOS users, make sure that Precise Location is turned on.
- Ensure that your phone/tablet is connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network that you are entering at the Select your network step and that you are entering the SSID (Wi-Fi name) correctly.
- 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks are not supported.
- The SSID is case-sensitive and there should be no space before or after the SSID.
- The SSID should automatically populate if you are connected to Wi-Fi. If it does not auto-populate, it can indicate the phone/tablet that is being used for setup is not connected to Wi-Fi.
- Check that you are entering the Wi-Fi password correctly.
- Tap on the eye icon to view the password you are entering.
- Ensure you hear “ready to connect” after pressing the setup button.
- If you do not hear a voice prompt, please follow the steps in I don’t hear any voice prompts on my Wyze Video Doorbell v2.
- If the QR code is not scanning during setup, try the following steps:
- QR codes are only valid for 5 minutes after being generated. If you have been trying to scan the QR code for 5 minutes or more, restart the setup process.
- Ensure the protective film for the doorbell's lens has been removed.
- Confirm there is nothing obstructing the QR code on your phone or tablet screen.
- Make sure there are no glares on the screen while attempting to scan the QR code.
- Gently clean the lens of the doorbell using a microfiber or soft cloth.
- Ensure that the full QR code is visible. The code should not be covered and should not run off the edges of the screen.
- Hold the phone screen steady in front of the doorbell, and slowly adjust the distance. Hold still at the new distance for 5 seconds to give Wyze Video Doorbell v2 time to adjust to the new distance.
- Try holding the QR code upside down for the doorbell to scan.
- Reboot the router.
- If possible, move the router closer to the doorbell.
- Power cycle you Wyze Video Doorbell v2.
- Flip the breaker switch that is powering the doorbell to the off position, wait 10 full seconds, then flip the breaker switch back to the on position.
- Factory reset you Wyze Video Doorbell v2.
- Send an app log from your doorbell's Settings > Wyze Support > Submit a Log.
- Remove any microSD card inserted into the doorbell.
- To remove the doorbell, press the doorbell in and slide it up before pulling away from the wall plate.
- With the doorbell powered on, press and hold the setup button on the back of the doorbell for 15 seconds until the status light turns solid orange, then release the setup button.
- Once the status light begins flashing orange, set up the doorbell like new.
