So today I finally received my Wyze Cam Outdoor. I was so excited to try it out but I’ve been trying to connect the base station for a few hours now without success. I’ve followed all the online instructions, The base is connected directly to the router via Ethernet cable and the blue light is solid…

I found a thread that said it is the new IOS 14 that is the problem. It says to try an old phone or old iPad and it should work. I am going to try mine tomorrow. Major Will Popp New Albany Police

This fix worked perfectly for me. Before this fix it was a total fail trying to get the Wyze Base and Outdoor Cam paired and streaming with iOS 14.

Perfect, worked for me too! So glad I had an old iPhone around. If I hadn’t, not sure what I would have done!

This is a bunch of BS! Who has an old, insecure, and outdated IOS device to get this to work! Insane! Wyze support…fix this mess

You misread. You don’t need an old iOS device. The iOS change occurred with iOS 14 and the Settings > Privacy > Local Network setting still exists in the latest iOS 14.7.1.

What @Seapup said! Also note this thread was resurrected from Nov 2020. (why wasn’t it closed?)

I don’t think DamonB’s issue is related to this thread. I think the issue is what is currently being worked: [IMG_0054] [IMG_0055]

But Wait! There’s more . . . https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015979872-Service-Status-Known-Issues 8/4/21 1:45 PM PT - This issue has been resolved in the 2.23 app release. If you have been having trouble setting up your Wyze devices, please update your app and try again. If that does…

So now what? Just got my Outdoor Cam and base station, use iOS 14.7.1, have done the Settings >> Privacy >> Local Network >> Wyze. Then switch on the slider (to the right), completed the Settings/WiFi/(Click the Info Icon by the actual network)/turn off Private address, and STILL cannot connect. I…

Here’s the final response given, so now I/we wait a couple of days or find an Android phone as a possible solution. We discovered an issue on 8/2 that caused a conflict with some iOS devices and Wyze Cam Outdoor. Our engineers are deploying a fix that will be available in the 2.23 iOS official app …

Have WYZE ios V2.24.34 and this is still an issue. Trying the first setup of Wyse Cam Outdoor and cannot connect the base station via Auto or QR Code.
