Problem
When setting up your Wyze Video Doorbell, you hear "QR code incorrect" when the QR code scans.
Troubleshooting
- Confirm that 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- If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store, and update the Wyze app.
- Make sure your phone/tablet being used for setup is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
-
Verify that you are scanning correct QR code.
- Note: The QR code will display on your phone screen during the setup process. It is not located on the camera or its packaging.
- Ensure sure you’ve removed the plastic film from the lens of the camera.
- Confirm that nothing is obstructing the QR code on the screen (cracked screen or dirt).
- Make sure that the QR code is displayed in full. Scroll up/down on your mobile device if necessary.
- Make sure there is no glare on the screen while you are attempting to scan the QR code.
- Gently clean the lens of the camera using a microfiber or soft cloth.
- Hold your phone's screen steady in front of your doorbell, then move or adjust the distance slowly. Hold still at the new distance for 5 seconds to give your doorbell time to focus at the new distance.
- Try holding the QR code upside down for the doorbell to scan.
- Reset your doorbell and try again.
- With the doorbell connected to power, single-press the Reset button on the back of the device. No need to press and hold.
- If possible, try using a different device to scan the QR code.
Note: QR codes are only valid for 5 minutes after being generated. If the code is not scanned within that timeframe, a new QR code must be generated.
