Travel Mode gives you the freedom to use your Wyze Cam Outdoor anywhere, even when you're away from home. This feature lets you use the camera without an internet connection, and it can be enabled on the camera or Base Station.
How It Works: When Travel Mode is enabled on a Wyze Cam Outdoor v1/v2, it allows the camera to emit a Wi-Fi network you can connect your mobile device/tablet to locally in order to view the live stream, set scheduled recordings, etc. It works the same way with Wyze Base Station. It allows the base station to emit a Wi-Fi network you can connect locally to view the cameras in Travel Mode connected to that Wyze Base Station. You can set a password on these local networks to increase security, but that is optional.
To Enable Travel Mode on Wyze Cam Outdoor:
Reminder: Wyze Cam Outdoor v1/v2 and Wyze Base Station must be set up and connected to the Wyze app before you can enable Travel Mode. Travel Mode must be enabled before leaving your home, as it cannot be set up remotely.
