Wyze cam v3. I deleted one of my cams from the app after the failed update as an attempt to fix it. Now cannot add the cam back to app. Do not have a card reader for the flash update fix that was recommended.

What is the status light on the cam look like? At what point are you getting stuck in the setup process? Does it say it entered setup mode when clicking the setup button?

the status light is red. it lets me get all the way thru scanning the QR code for setup, then the setup fails to connect.

Check if your phone is connected to a 2.4ghz WiFi when setting it up. If you use a mixed network see if you can disable the 5ghz WiFi temporarily while setting up the cam.

I know that I have both 2.4 and 5ghz. I do not know how to disable one of them while setting up the cam. I am hoping a friend can come over tomorrow to try to help. I will have him do that for me. I will reply tomorrow if that works or does not work. thank you so much for offering your advice.

Welcome to the Wyze User Community Forum @catlover30 ! :man_raising_hand: You may have not received a full firmware update. Since you have already deleted the cam from the app, perform a factory reset on the cam by holding in on the setup button for 10 seconds until it cycles. After the factory reset…

I’ve had the same problem on 2 of my 5 cams. i’ve disabled my 5ghz on my unifi ap and still doesn’t help. tried factory reset holding setup for 10+ seconds all it does is cycles from Red, Flashing red and blue then says ready to connect. (no sd card in) formated an sd card and copied the demo_wcv3…

Insure that the phone is connected to the WiFi and not mobile data. Insure GPS is on. Only use a 32GB SD Card formatted to FAT32.

All of that is done. Lol, I think they are just stuck in a loop and the factory rest won’t work.

Try unplugging it for an extended period and then hitting it again. You might also try a different 32GB SD Card that has been freshly reformatted FAT32 in a computer (not “quick” wiped but a total rewrite of the allocations).

Well i finally got it to work. My issue, i copied the pan.bin and not the camv3.bin file. But if you wouldn’t have gave me some other options I would have givenup. THANK YOU!

A manual flash using an SD card can sometimes be tricky. Here is another thread with tips. Good luck.
