Select the WiFi network you wish to connect to. This is used to scan nearby WiFi networks which the camera will connect to. It’s right next to the microSD card slot.

You will have to pull the base away from the camera to access this setup button.

Press the setup button on the base of the camera until you hear a voice prompt saying “Ready to connect”. You’ll be prompted to plug the Wyze cam into a power socket outlet which you already did. Inside the App, tap on “new device” or the plus sign on the top left corner > select camera > Wyze Cam v3. Wait for about 20 seconds until the status light flashes red. With the Wyze app already downloaded and an account created, start by powering on the camera. Once your camera is mounted, setting it up is a breeze. The base of the Wyze cam is magnetic, so if you are mounting it on an existing metallic surface such as a door or window frame, then you might not need the included installation accessories.īut if you don’t, then you’ll have to screw the included circular-shaped metallic surface on the wall which your camera magnetically attaches to. Inside the box, you get the Wyze cam itself, a wall mount plate, screw kit, 6 feet USB cable, wall mount plate tape and an indoor USB Power adapter. Have a metallic surface to mount the camera or have your power tools ready to fix the metallic mount on the wall.

This camera does not pan and tilt, however, it comes with a wide angle lens.

You have decided on the view area you want the camera to capture.

The camera can be powered by a wall socket.

You have installed the Wyze app and created an account.

Setting up the Wyze Cam v3 is surprisingly easy. I decided to install mine just outside the front door, so it’s outside but not exposed to the elements. It has an IP65 rating, so you can set it up outside in the rain or in your living room. The Wyze Cam v3 is both an indoor and outdoor camera.
