Samsung Smart Cam, dlink cams, many devices allow the wireless settings to be changed in their apps.
If you have a wyze outdoor cam you’ll never believe what you change on the base in the app.

I’ll have to take your word on that. I have NEVER seen an IoT type device with that capability.
Feature Request : Ability to change wifi network on Wyze devices from the app.
The ability to push a new network SSID and password from the app to the device would make so much sense and save so much time. Push information, and then the device stores and reboots. I have about 25 devices from cameras, to plugs, locks, bulbs, thermostat. Making this change would save probably 2 hours of time of resetting up all devices and possibly losing rules.
Thank you and please consider ![]()
How would that work and how would you orchestrate the router swap required to do this properly? I still don’t think this makes any logical sense for most people.
You’d just need to look at the Wyze outdoor cam base to see how to implement it. They already have done it, just like lots of other cam makers.
Hello I just got done talking to support.
(Divine)
I just recently got new WiFi service for cheaper price and was transferring everything over.
I currently have 2 Wyze outdoor V2 and
3 Wyze cam V2 (indoor ones)
The outdoor cameras was not hard to re-set up but the indoor ones I can’t reset cause the adhesive that came with the cameras to stick to the wall ended up being better than expected and after having them up for a year ripped some paint off with it (lol)
So with that said you can’t get to the QR code to re-set them.
So what I would love to see is being able to change All or even each Individual cameras WiFi setting via the app.
Now I have to buy 3 new cameras and it kinda hurts the pocket a little.
Not according to Wyze they haven’t. Please explain.

Suggestion for connection
I think it would be nice if we could switch what Internet it’s connected to after we’ve set it up
I had a security breach and had to change my wifi password. What a huge hassle that took hours! Each camera had to be reset. Well, the problem is I put my cameras in hard to get areas (such as crawl through the attic and into the eaves) so that people couldn’t take my cameras without being seen. So I had to crawl back up there again to be able to reset it just because my wifi password changed. Please change this ASAP!!! People with good security plans frequently change their passwords, so a good security system for your home should include the feature of being able to do it easily from your phone app. Thanks!
Thank you for the support I completely agree I change my password last night to my Internet and I had to reset 6 different cameras. It was a disaster and I couldn’t believe this hadn’t already been implemented in. It should be an option when you click on each camera it even shows what a network you’re connected to right there you should be able to click on the network and sign into a different one I feel like it would be a feature that would be very easy to implement and it would change so much for the better
I agree. When I need to change or re-install my devices, this is a real pain. I have 18 of them. It gets very frustrating. Otherwise, I really like the Wyze devices.
I just had this same issue today! And I have 8 different devices/items. I wanted to scream! Granted didn’t take too long but to have to get a ladder or chair to reach most of these was the issue, I didn’t need!
let’s hope it can happen one day!
This is something we are now looking into to see how much work and resources it will take to accomplish.
Awesome! I am interested to know what difficulties there are in adding this feature. Please update us on the technical aspects of what is happening.
Thank you I feel like it would be a great integration for everybody. It would make everybody’s life so much easier especially when we have whole security systems set up.
I will keep everyone up to date with what I learn. I think this getting done will mostly depend on the resources it will take but we do know this is something that would make life a lot easier for many.
Well, we appreciate your time and consideration in the matter. At least I appreciate the response. It’s nice to know that the Wyze staff members actually look at this.
Wow. 4 years go by and no progress. I’ve had to pull out the ladder, scale the front of my house to reset my camera FIVE times now. Seriously sick of this.
Wifi and password modification remotely on app
Wyze need to create some way to enter new wifi name and /or password remotely without having to add new device. It it ridiculous to have to physically climb to reach each of your camera, open weather proof holding case and push the button so the camera can scan a code to get reconnected on your wifi Again ! And that’s every time you want to change wifi password or rooter replacement etc.
I don’t know about replacing your rooter, but when replacing your router, set the SSID and PW the same as the old one and your cameras will just work.
