Wyze Cam Outdoor Setup Guide

Now that your Wyze Base Station is set up, it's time to add your Wyze Cam Outdoor. It's an easy process, as it relies on Wyze Base Station for network communication. 

Fully charge your Wyze Cam Outdoor before setting it up the first time. This can take up to 4 hours. Once fully charged the light will switch from flashing red to solid red.

To set up your Wyze Cam Outdoor:

  1. In the Wyze app, tap Home, then tap + plus sign on the top right.
  2. On the Add menu, tap Device.
  3. Tap Cameras Wyze Cam Outdoor > Begin setup.
    • If you don't have a Wyze Base Station on your account, or your Wyze Base Station already has 4 paired cameras, you'll be directed to set up a Wyze Base Station here.
  4. On the back of your camera, open the charging cover and flip the power switch to On.
