To whom it may concern: My Wyze Cam v3 was bricked yesterday during your latest firmware update. It’s completely inoperative. The red light comes on, but that’s all. No video. I am not able to reset the camera by pushing on the reset button on the bottom of the camera, even if I click the switch on…

This is a user to user forum for the most part, your best bet would be to contact support. The setup button may have some corrosion in it. You can try using something pointed (but not sharp) to press it harder, try to move it around a bit. If you can get it to respond, then you should be able to …

There is nothing wrong with the switch. There is no dirt in it. It’s been covered by a neoprene rubber seal since I purchased the camera. The only way a firmware flash will work is if the switch is able to activate the existing firmware or some other code in memory to start the setup process. The sw…

How do you know there is nothing wrong with the button? It is not uncommon for the setup button to get some corrosion in it from moisture causing it to not make contact. You wouldn’t feel this, the button would feel like it pushes in fine. Sometimes pushing it more firmly (multiple times) with so…
