Connect to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
To connect your second Wyze Pan camera to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, you must first ensure that your Wi-Fi network is compatible with Wyze Cam devices. Most single-band routers are 2.4 GHz, and Wyze Cam devices will not work with enterprise Wi-Fi networks that have a landing page, sign-in portal, or require a browser to complete the connection.
Once you have confirmed that your Wi-Fi network is compatible, follow these steps:
- Plug your Wyze camera into a USB port or power outlet.
- Wait until the camera starts flashing yellow, which usually takes around thirty seconds.
- Click "Next" on the phone app prompt and press the setup button on your camera.
- After hearing "Ready to connect", check the box and tap "Next" again.
- You will now be prompted to select a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Ensure that the network name does not have "5G," "5GHz," or similar appended to the end, as this indicates a 5 GHz network, which is not supported by Wyze Cams.
- Enter the password for your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and connect to the new Wi-Fi.
- Use your Wyze Cam to scan the QR code on the app. Once the scan is successful, you'll hear a voice saying, "QR code scanned."
- Check the box and tap "Next" again, then wait for the camera to connect to the Wi-Fi.
Note that if you are still experiencing network issues, it may be useful to ensure that your Wi-Fi network uses the WPA/WPA2 protocol, as Wyze devices need to be connected to this protocol and do not support WEP due to security concerns.

Scan QR code
To set up a second Wyze Pan Camera, you will need to scan the QR code on the Wyze app. This will allow the camera to be added to your Wi-Fi network.
To scan the QR code, hold your camera up to your phone screen so that the QR code is displaying. The camera should be held around 6-10 inches away from the phone screen. If you are using an iOS device, ensure that "Invert Colours" is turned off. Make sure there is no glare on the screen by tilting your phone screen slightly. Check that the QR code is not distorted in any way, and that the full code is visible. If you are having trouble scanning the code, try holding the phone and camera at different distances from each other, and turn your phone upside down.
If you are still unable to scan the QR code, try a factory reset on the camera. To do this, hold the setup key for 10 seconds while the camera is powered on. Once the yellow light flashes, begin the setup process again. Note that QR codes are only valid for 5 minutes after being generated, so if you have been trying to scan the code for 5 minutes or more, you will need to restart the setup process and generate a new code.
