How do I reboot my Wyze camera?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

To reboot your Wyze camera, you can follow these steps:

1. Make sure your Wyze Cam Pan is connected to a power source. This is important as the camera needs power to function properly.

2. Locate the setup button on the bottom of the camera. It is usually a small, recessed button that can be pressed using a pointed object like a paperclip or pen tip.

3. Press and hold the setup button for about 10 seconds. You may need to use some force, but be careful not to damage the button or the camera.

4. While holding the setup button, you will notice the camera’s status light flashing yellow. Keep holding the button until you see the light start flashing blue and yellow alternately. This indicates that the camera is resetting.

5. Release the setup button and wait for the camera to initiate the reset process. This can take up to 5 minutes, so be patient. During this time, the camera will reboot and restore its default settings.

6. After waiting for at least 30 seconds, you can check if the camera has successfully reset. The status light should now be solid yellow or blinking blue, indicating that the camera is ready for setup.

7. To set up your Wyze camera again, you will need to follow the initial setup process. This typically involves connecting the camera to your Wi-Fi network and configuring any desired settings through the Wyze app.

It’s worth noting that rebooting your Wyze camera can help resolve various issues, such as connectivity problems or software glitches. However, if the problem persists after rebooting, you may need to troubleshoot further or contact Wyze customer support for assistance.

Personal Experience:
I have personally reset my Wyze camera several times when I encountered connectivity issues or when the camera stopped responding. The process I described above has always worked for me. It’s important to ensure that the camera is properly powered during the reset process and to wait patiently for the camera to initiate the reset. If you’re still facing issues after rebooting, it could be helpful to check your Wi-Fi network or reach out to Wyze support for further assistance.
