I have a 2nd camera attached to a floodlight. Is it possible to add a spotlight to the 2nd camera?
Yes, you can add the spotlight to that 2nd camera. I installed the spotlight on neighbor’s Wyze floodlight 2nd camera and it works great. I verified it would work through Wyze prior to install!

Thank you for your quick response. I thought it should work but it isn’t. I’ll contact Wyze. Thanks again.
What’s not working about it? Is it not showing up in the accessories menu on the secondary cam? Make sure your using included data capable cables

I’m hoping it’s just an internet problem.
As IEatBeans stated, make sure you are using the Spotlight cables that were included - it will not work otherwise!
In a couple of Spotlight installs I had to push connections really hard to make full contact and get power - it was not working prior to that. In all 5 spotlight installs, each worked once connection was established!
When you have power, that Spotlight will come on and go off. It will then show up in the app for that camera and the Spotlight icon will show allowing you to cut on / off manually.

If your 2nd camera is working, it is not an Internet Connection issue - as stated, it sounds like you are not getting power!
And just for visual validation

You mention both spotlight & floodlight in your post which begs this question. Are you connecting the spotlight to a separate camera that is powered via the 2nd USB port on the floodlight? This is the way it is done and should work - I have installed 6 spotlights and they have all worked flawlessly!
If this is not your configuration, please detail it here. The “Floodlight” & “Spotlight” are totally different units.
Glad it’s working for you now. Must have been a Gremlin - LOL!
