My floodlight v2 has been working fine for about 6 months. I found it listed as “unable to connect” in the app one day and so I attempted numerous power cycles (at the breaker because it’s hard wired) without result. Cycling the power brings the red led on then it turns off and the camera never conn…

I got mine resolved and here’s what I figured out. First, I tried connecting the floodlight to my (not broadcasted) 2.4GHz SSID again without success. Next, I tried connecting the floodlight to a 2.4GHz WIFI hotspot off a second cell phone kept in close proximity to the floodlight. This worked! I …

[image] ajbeck33: It’s interesting that it stays connected if you stop broadcasting the SSID after the initial setup. I can’t recall a specific incident or topic where that was mentioned, but I believe I’ve seen this described before elsewhere in the Forum. It’s something I almost never thin…

I don’t have a subscription. I just use the basic features with SD recording. So, I would have thought full brightness from motion should still trigger when the WIFI isn’t connected.

That seems like a reasonable expectation, and I appreciate the clarification. For that camera, I’m not sure how much of the analysis and feature processing is done locally on the device itself. Here I’m thinking about how, for instance, I’ve seen parts of the app’s UI change even when the app on t…

My flood light camera v2 stopped connecting to my network after Wyze made a firmware update on May 22nd. I have restarted router, cycled power on camera, and tried to reinstall the camera. My other 9 cameras do connect.

I asked to have your post merged with this topic because it seems like the same issue, and I’m still waiting for some more feedback from Wyze, as noted above. Is it possible you’re not broadcasting your SSID? What firmware version is the app currently reporting for your Cam Floodlight v2?

3438 which was loaded on May 22nd.

The camera is not dead. I do not broadcast my SSID except when connecting devices like this. I was able to connect when I broadcast SSID but then it goes offline when I stop the broadcast. My other cameras once connected dont need the SSID broadcasted. Why do they work but not the flood v2?
