The Wyze Sense Bridge acts as a hub that allows your sensors to connect to your home's Wi-Fi via a Wyze Cam v1, Wyze Cam v2, or Wyze Cam Pan v1. The bridge can be inserted into the USB port on the back of the camera and once the light on the bridge turns solid blue, it is paired. However, it is important to note that the Wyze Sense is not compatible with any other Wyze cameras or devices, and users have reported issues with connectivity and range. Wyze Sense Contact Sensor has two parts, with the larger side housing the technology and the smaller part can be placed in any orientation within 2 mm of the magnetic switch on the larger side. The Wyze Sense Motion Sensor v1 can detect heat from objects moving at distances of up to 26 feet.

Wyze Sense Bridge acts as a hub for sensors to connect to Wi-Fi
The Wyze Sense Bridge is a hub that connects your sensors to your Wi-Fi network via a Wyze Cam v1, Wyze Cam v2, or Wyze Cam Pan v1. It is important to note that Wyze Sense is only compatible with these specific Wyze camera versions and no other Wyze cameras or devices.
To set up the Wyze Sense Bridge, locate the USB port on the back of your compatible Wyze camera. Insert the Wyze Sense Bridge into this USB port. Once the light on the bridge turns solid blue, it is successfully paired with your camera.
After pairing the bridge to your camera, you can add Wyze Sense sensors to your setup using the Wyze app. The Wyze Sense Contact Sensor consists of two parts: the larger side houses the technology, and the smaller part can be placed within 2 mm of the magnetic switch on the larger side. The Wyze Sense Motion Sensor v1 can detect heat from objects moving up to 26 feet away and has a horizontal detection angle of 120 degrees.
It is worth noting that some users have reported issues with the bridge disconnecting from sensors when the pan camera moves. Additionally, the range of the bridge may be limited, with some users experiencing low signal strength when the sensors are placed too far from the bridge or the Wi-Fi router.

Wyze Sense is only compatible with Wyze Cam v1, v2, and Pan v1
The Wyze Sense Bridge acts as a hub that allows your sensors to connect to your home's Wi-Fi via a Wyze Cam. The Wyze Sense is only compatible with Wyze Cam v1, v2, and Pan v1. It is not compatible with any other Wyze cameras or devices, including the Wyze Cam v3.
To set up your Wyze Sense with a compatible Wyze Cam, locate the USB port on the back of the camera. Insert the Wyze Sense Bridge into the USB port and wait for the light on the bridge to turn solid blue, indicating that it is paired. You can then add a Wyze Sense Motion Sensor v1 or Wyze Sense Contact Sensor to your account using the Wyze app. The Wyze Sense Contact Sensor has two parts: the larger side houses the technology, and the smaller part can be placed within 2 mm of the magnetic switch located on the straight edge of the larger side.
The Wyze Sense Motion Sensor v1 has a detection range of up to 26 feet with a horizontal detection angle of 120 degrees. It is designed to detect at a slight downward angle, and it is recommended to have the Wyze logo facing upright when placing the sensor at approximately 6 feet high.
It is important to note that the distance between the sensors and the bridge can impact their performance. Some users have reported low signal strength and sensor triggering issues when the sensors are placed too far from the bridge. Therefore, it is advisable to test the sensors' performance in the desired locations before mounting them permanently, as the adhesive used to attach the sensors is considered permanent.

The Wyze Sense Starter Kit lets you add more sensors with one bridge
The Wyze Sense Starter Kit is a smart home security kit that includes a variety of sensors and a wireless bridge device. The kit is designed to work with the Wyze Cam v1, v2, or Cam Pan v1, allowing you to add more sensors to your home security setup.
The Starter Kit comes with one Sensor Bridge, two Contact Sensors, and one Motion Sensor. The Contact Sensors can be attached to doors or windows, and they will notify you whenever something is opened, closed, or left open. The Motion Sensor detects the heat from moving objects, such as people or animals, within a range of up to 26 feet and a horizontal detection angle of 120 degrees.
To set up the Wyze Sense Starter Kit, you need to first plug the bridge into the USB port on the back of your Wyze camera. Once the light on the bridge turns solid blue, it is paired with the camera. You can then use the Wyze smartphone app to add the new sensors to your account and customize their settings. The sensors can be placed across your home, and the app will show their status (open, closed, or offline) and battery life.
With the Wyze Sense Starter Kit, you can add more sensors and use the same Wyze Sense Bridge. This allows you to expand your home security system as needed without having to purchase additional bridges. However, it is important to note that the range of the sensors from the bridge may vary, and some users have reported issues with signal strength when sensors are placed too far apart. In such cases, you may need to purchase an additional Starter Kit to ensure full coverage.
