Troubleshooting

1. Confirm that the Wyze app is up to date.

   4. If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store, and update the Wyze app.
2. If possible, check that Wyze Bulb Cam’s firmware is up to date.
   1. You can check this by going to the Account tab > Firmware Update.
   2. If there is an update available for the doorbell, please move forward with updating it.
