I have 4 cameras, a combination of V1 and V2’s and never had any issues setting anything up in the past. Currently on app version 2.0.23. I noticed one of my V1’s wasn’t letting me view it and kept telling me to power cycle, which I did several times. I finally removed it and attempted to add it …

I should also add that the “next” button is waiting specifically for 8 characters. Is there a change that won’t allow unsecured networks to be connected to?

No, it does not. I can’t get past the SSID selection as it seems to require a password. My network is open and I just can’t add a camera, but my other 3 are working fine.

I am a new user and am trying to connect for the first time. I have the same problem that you described. I live in the middle of nowhere and have no password either. Did you ever figure out how to get past the SSID selection screen?

I’m using MAC filtering for my wifi security instead of passwords. I have a whitelist that will only allow devices that I’ve approved to connect. Because of the way this works, I can’t use wifi passwords which means I can’t connect this new Wyze cam I just picked up. My old Wyze cam is still working…

Wyze made the decision in the new app release not to allow connection to open wifi networks. Unless Wyze changes their minds on this, there are a couple of workarounds that can be used if you want to keep your base home network unsecured but also provide a secure network for the Wyze. One is free an…

This is really dumb that wyze has decided to play nanny for us. I bought a cam just for the purpose of using it on vacation as a baby monitor in our hotel room while my wife and I chill in the lobby. Now I can’t connect because the wifi does NOT need a password. What an absurd and crippling “featu…

I have no control or real opinion on Wyze’s choice not to support unsecured wifi. But for the hotel application, a great number of hotels, while not requiring a WPA password, do have a landing page that you must transit in order to gain access to the wifi. There is no way that Wyze cam’s would ever …
