Changing the WiFi settings on a Wyze camera is a relatively simple process. There are a few steps that need to be taken in order to successfully connect the camera to a new WiFi network, and these are outlined below:
1. First, make sure the Wyze camera is powered on and connected to the existing WiFi network.
2. Open the Wyze app on your mobile device and navigate to the Camera tab.
3. Select the camera you want to change the WiFi settings for.
4. Tap on the gear icon in the top right corner to access the camera settings.
5. Scroll down and tap on Network Settings.
6. Tap on the WiFi network you want to connect to.
7. Enter the WiFi password if prompted.
8. Wait for the camera to connect to the new WiFi network.
9. Once the camera has successfully connected to the new WiFi network, it will display a message stating that it is now online.
10. Finally, make sure to test the camera to ensure it is working properly on the new network.
It is important to note that if the WiFi network you are trying to connect to has a different password or security settings than the existing network, you may need to reset the camera to its default settings before you can connect it to the new network. To do this, simply press and hold the setup button until the camera’s status light flashes yellow. This will reset the camera to its default settings and allow you to connect it to a new network.
