I had trouble getting my second WCO to come back on line, and stay online, after it had performed well immediately after installation… I deleted the device in an attempt to reboot, after trying the other Wyze-recommended procedures. It was offline when I deleted it. Now it will not resync with my base station. A wyze support posting suggests that deleting a WCO when it is not on is a fatal error and that the camera can no longer be connected, at all! True? I got no response to my inquiry to Wyze Support a week ago.
@JackGee Welcome to the community! Sorry to hear about your WCO. Do you have a support ticket number? If so, please post the number so we can try to get this escalated for you.
thanks. 189819

Hello! We’ve been looking for this ticket but we think it may have been a log instead. Could you please check that number to make sure it’s correct? And if you sent in a log, support won’t be able to access it so you may want to send in a support ticket through the website instead.
Thanks for the personal attention to this one. I think you are right that I sent in a log rather than a support ticket. But I have now removed my base station and WCO from my account and replaced my WCO with a v3 cam, which is working great, like my other two v3 cams. So I have moved on.
No need to respond to this, but here is my experience, in case it is of use to you or to other customers:
My WCO worked fine for a half year before I tried to update the firmware when prompted last month. During that process my WCO went offline. I don’t know why. I tried power cycling it, rebooting the base station, and rebooting my router, all with the WCO moved to be close to the base station. And I made sure it was fully charged. No luck. I noticed that when I turned the WCO in my hand, something rattled inside. Also, when I turned the WCO in my hand the infrared light would come on and off randomly. I concluded that I had drawn a lemon and that the best solution was to just buy a replacement WCO, which I did. I installed it and it synced and worked fine for two minutes, but when I was prompted to update the firmware I did so. I think (but can no longer be certain of the timing) that it was when the updating started that this new WCO went offline. I again tried everything that the troubleshooting guide says to do to reconnect. No luck. So then I decided to start all over with the installation, so I deleted the new WCO and the base station from my account (and app) and started over with the initial installation procedure. Everything went fine until the sync stage, where I repeatedly got the “sync failed” message.
Then I saw the March 22, 2021, “Wyze Cam Outdoor Connectivity Troubleshooting” posting from Brenda, which states that deleting the WCO or the base station from the Wyze app “while they show Offline …will prevent you from being able to set them up again.” Wow. Sounds like a fatal error that is very easy to commit. If there is an easy workabound, let me know. Otherwise I am willing to just move on. I have been pleased with my three v3 Wyze cams, my Wyze scale, and my Wyze headphones. I look forward to the arrival of my Wyze handheld vacuum.

Did you get response from Wyze on this. I have exact same problem. WCO is solid yellow and not able to connect.
I had the same issue, except mine stopped working/connecting for the first time…after I removed it from the mount and charged it. While charging it, I tried to access the camera. It kept saying it was trying to get video feed and went through a cycle 1, 2,3 for first attempt. No connection to video feed. Then the camera repeated the process on a second attempt…no luck. I went through all the troubleshooting steps that Wyze recommended to try, to no avail.
Mind you, Wyze did not mention during the troubleshooting instructions, that deleting a device while offline while cause it not to connect again.*
So naturally I thought since nothing they suggested to do worked, I would delete the camera (while it was offline) and reconnect it. No luck! Deleted the base station (which was working fine) and did the hard rest on the base station by putting a paper clip into the rest feature. Set up base station again, connected fine. Still can’t connect camera!!!
My camera light, when powering it on, goes from an instant solid yellow state, to a flashing blue state and then shuts off after a few flashes. With the last blue flash being longer than all the previous flashes.
Help!!!
After spending hours going through much the same process as you, I gave up and substituted a camera v3 for my outdoor camera, although the wire is a bit unsightly.
I just bought this outdoor cam! 
I can’t afford to buy a new one right now either. And customer support is no help. They just keep saying to try the same troubleshooting tips (that I’ve already done) over again. So disappointing…
I have accidentally deleted the base station and one camera while it was offline. And cannot reconnect the base station. It continues to blink blue light and seems like it’ll connect (solid blue) then blinks blue again. Very frustrating. I’ve tried the QR code but can’t see the “wyze_bind_xxx” to appear in wifi settings. I’ve tried “resetting” with the paper clip on the side but no luck. Please help.
I have this exact same issue. If someone can look into for me as well here is my # Wyze Ticket 1503153
Fixed it here is how-I had this issue last week… I figured as it seemed nothing worked or changed the blinking blue light status I was screwed. Wyze does indicates blinking blue as the device is trying to connect to wifi/camera so I figured let’s remove wifi by downgrading firmware. Wifi wasn’t an option at launch so find the wifi update and go back 1 more. So Jan was the wifi update so the previous version is 4.16.0.190 released Dec 2nd.
1-download Dec 2nd firmware
2-Cleaned a 32 gig sd with a format with fat32.
3- The Dec 2nd firmware is extracted to sd.
4-Sd installed in device power cycled.
This is first time I seen a change with
the lighter blue color it’s the yellow
and blue at same time!
5- Be patient 5 min worth lots of blinking
6- mine didn’t stop blinking dark blue after yellow light
blue cycles. (Almost gave up)
7- Removed sd and power cycle
SO THAT PART IS FIXED ADD IT TO YOUR ACCOUNT AS NEW.
8- Once it’s been added to your account again press syncs on both devices and enjoy.
9-I updated my firmware and just left it plugged in for now it’s only an issue if you remove the hardware which I won’t do again the firmware seems fine.
