Troubleshooting

  1. Make sure you are using the cord and adapter that came with your Wyze Cam v1/v2.
  2. If you’re able to, try switching out the cord and/or adapter to see if the camera powers on.
    • If it does not, the power cable and/or adapter may be defective.
  3. Try plugging your camera into a different power outlet.
    • If the camera turns on, then the power outlet may not have power.
  4. If using a different cord or power outlet doesn't help, please reach out to support for more help.
