I’ve been trying to set my v3 cam up again after not having it hooked up in months and I can’t seem to get it to connect. Any suggestions?

Manually update the v3 via SD card

Too many unknown parameters. Please provide more details.

Factory reset? Deleted from account or app? Just restarting after sitting idle? How long idle? Any wifi changes? Setup with or without non-factory reset? QR code not scanning? Firmware updates in between could require flashing new updates on a 32gb or lower sdcard free of any other software or files.

One more thing to check is make sure the entire QR code is displayed on your device with the Wyze App. Sometimes if part of the QR code is cut off on your screen setup can not complete.
