Brand New Outdoor Cam v2 dead in the water

Had purchased an extra Wyze Outdoor Cam v2 a long time back. I have several wyze cams including 2 outdoors. One started acting up (charges but won’t power the device when unplugged anymore) so I went to replace it with my brand new in box Outdoor cam v2.

Blue blinking light loop, won’t sync. Spent 2 days trying everything, contacted Support but these are EOL so no help there.

Looking anyone who knows how to get around EOL camera not syncing? Base station behaving fine, both show blinking yellow lights and they appear to attempt the sync but always just says “outdoor camera setup failed”.

Base station is connected via ethernet. I guess I could try switching to base station to wi-fi but I have a feeling that won’t change anything, thats the only last thing I haven’t tried.

There’s no way to factory reset or manually install firmware on these

You can get the July 2025 firmware here and download it, flash the camera using a 32GB or smaller SD card in FAT32:

Thanks so much. I can see it turn yellow for about 5 seconds when turning it on after putting the update on the SD card but goes right back to the blinking blue light 6-7 times then stopping suddenly. Then repeats the blue blinking light 7 times,

I guess whatever is wrong with it, its corrupted the whole camera and won’t even initialize the firmware update. Appreciate the help in ensuring I eliminated this as a possible solution.

Its stuck in some loop, not a reboot loop otherwise it would keep trying to apply the firmware and I do see it reocognize it when I power it on and off manually
