The V2 cam is total junk. I will never buy another Wyze product. Whoever designed the stupid hard to press button needs to be fired. Never got the camera to work after hours of reading forums and talking to support. Now it is flashing blue light and won’t connect. Avoid this crappy camera. They gave me a $10.00 credit but I will not be wasting my money any money on such a crappy product. _[Mod Edit] Fixed topic camera tags._ ---

The V3 is a lot better. Not sure if it would solve your issue. ---

I have prolly 6 of 'em in operation. I especially like them outside near the roof in a little protective housing. I’m under the impression they have a relatively good WiFi range, compared to other wyze models. They work so well for me that i bought an extra re-furbourbrised model to have ready when one fails. ---

V2 can’t be too bad with 4.5 stars outta 120K reviews… ![Screenshot 2024-03-30 152304](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/3X/e/0/e0695ffe3172522c4ce36e215bcfa3296c65d7a6.png) ---

Oops, I’m unsure which cam the OP is talking 'bout. Outdoor V2 was selected from the dropdowns. The nomenclature Wyze gave these camera names is kinda klunky. ---

If it is a WYZE Cam Outdoor battery powered v2 the flashing blue means it is trying to connect to your 2.4GHz network. I have one of the version one WCO that connects at about 45 feet with a three bar signal but after that it is hit or miss. If it is a battery powered WCO v2 is the Base connected via ethernet or Wi-Fi. ? My four version one Battery powered WCO v1 have been in operation since November 4 , 2020 using a basic Motorola cable modem/router combo. ---

Thanks, I’ll fix the topic tags, you had it set to the #cam-outdoor-v2 , which is a different camera. ---
