My Wyze Window Cam is not turning on.

Problem

Your Wyze Window Cam’s status light does not light up, or the device is not powering on.

Troubleshooting

  1. Make sure that the camera is powered using the power cable and adapter that came with the camera.
    • Wyze Window Cam requires a 5V1A power adapter.
  2. Ensure the power cable is inserted correctly and securely into the camera.
    • Wyze Window Cam uses a micro-USB to USB-A power cable.
    • Wyze Window Cam’s power port is on the back of the camera.
  3. Press and hold the setup button until you hear “ready to connect”.
  4. Try plugging the camera into a different power outlet.
  5. If possible, verify that the status light is not disabled.
    1. Navigate to the camera’s settings > Advanced Settings.
    2. Ensure Camera Status Light is toggled on.
      • The status light is located on the front of the camera, under the lens.
      • The camera status light will be turned off by default after setup to reduce reflections on the glass. It can be turned back on in the Advanced Settings.
  6. If the camera still does not power on, try another power cable or adapter to determine if the cable or adapter is defective.
