My Wyze Indoor Cam Pan is unable to be set up.
Troubleshooting
- Confirm that the 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- If you find that your Wyze app is out of date, head over to your mobile device’s app store and update the Wyze app.
- Check that the camera’s status light is flashing red and that there is a “ready to connect” voice prompt after pressing the setup button.
- The status light for Wyze Indoor Cam Pan is on the front of the camera.
- If the camera status light is solid red, refer to My Wyze Indoor Cam Pan has a solid red light.
- If the camera does not show a status light or there is no voice prompt, refer to My Wyze Indoor Cam Pan will not turn on.
- Ensure that BluetoothⓇ is enabled for the Wyze app in the phone/tablet settings.
- Toggle BluetoothⓇ off/on.

- Wyze Indoor Cam Pan is not compatible with 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks.
- The SSID is case-sensitive, and there should be no space before or after the SSID.
- The SSID should automatically populate if the phone/tablet is connected to Wi-Fi. If it does not auto-populate, it can indicate that the phone/tablet that is being used for setup is not connected to Wi-Fi.

- Power cycle Wyze Indoor Cam Pan.
- Unplug the camera from its power source for 5-10 seconds, then plug it back in.
