Wyze Cam Outdoor v2 stopped powering up. I can charge it to full charge (flashes red then red constantly on). Can turn switch to off for a minute and then back on but the light never lights. Same if I leave it on the power cord - no lights ever. Is it toast?
What happens if you try to open live view on the cam with the app while it is turned on nothing, off-line ?
I have the version 1 WCO and when I charge them the light on the back of the cam flashes red until it turns solid red and will stay solid red until I disconnect the power. I get no other lights until I turn detects motion back on then it will flash blue a few times then go out again until it detects motion again.
I can’t access live view or anything ever and the base station shows offline.
From all I can see it is not turning on but is able to charge and be fully charged.
My other Outdoor v2’s flash yellow then blue right when I turn them on but this problem child no longer does anything when I change the power button.
Did you mean the camera shows off line?
If thee base shows off line and is connected via ethernet pull the power plug wait about 10 seconds and plug it back in and wait until the LED on the base shows solid blue. I have my base connected via ethernet and connected to a smart plug so I can power cycle it which I have had to do once in the last one year.
If your problem cam does not connect I guess maybe it is toast?
Just FYI I have never turned my battery powered cams off while charging in the last 2 years and 10 .5 months, I just turn off detects motion. Other members like to turn the power switch off while charging.
I use the 5V-2A power adapters that came with the cams to charge them, I have never tried charging from the Base Station and have never had my Base connect via Wi-Fi, always ethernet.
