What You'll Learn
Download the Wyze app
To install a Wyze Cam Pan, you will need to first download the Wyze app on your smartphone or tablet. You can follow the instructions in the app or the video instructions on the Wyze website.
The Wyze Cam Pan is easy to set up and can be placed almost anywhere. However, if you want to install it higher up, you will need to mount it using the included mounting kit. The mounting kit includes a bracket that needs to be screwed into the wall. Before drilling, make sure there is enough space around the bracket for the camera to move freely. Mark the drill holes with a pencil, and then use a 6mm drill to make the holes. Drill the bracket screws into the wall, leaving 21mm between the screws.
Once you have downloaded the Wyze app and mounted the camera, you can proceed with the setup.

Connect to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
To connect your Wyze Cam Pan to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, start by unpacking your camera and removing all plastic and packing materials. Plug the camera into a power source using the provided USB cable and power adapter. The status light will turn solid red when powered and will flash when it's ready for setup.
Next, download the Wyze app on your smartphone or tablet. Open the app and tap "Home", followed by the "+" sign on the top right. On the Add menu, tap "Device", then "Cameras", and select your specific Wyze Cam Pan model. With your camera plugged into an outlet, tap "Next" in the app.
Now, select your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Ensure that the network name does not include "5G", "5g", "5GHz", or "5" at the end, as these indicate a 5 GHz network, which is not supported by Wyze Cam Pan. Enter your Wi-Fi password and tap "Next".
At this point, you may need to perform additional steps, such as scanning a QR code or pressing the "Setup" button on your camera, depending on your specific Wyze Cam Pan model.
If you encounter issues connecting to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try. First, check if your Wi-Fi security type is supported by Wyze devices (WPA/WPA2 protocol is supported, while WEP is not). You can check your Wi-Fi security type on an Android phone by going into your settings and opening the Wi-Fi category.
Additionally, if you have a dual-band router with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, ensure that they have different names (SSIDs). If your router does not allow you to give them separate names, you may need to use a Wi-Fi extender or a separate router specifically for your 2.4 GHz network.

Mount the camera
To mount your Wyze Cam Pan v3, you will need to use the included mounting kit.
First, place the mounting bracket (included in the mounting kit) onto the wall. If you are mounting the camera near the ceiling and want it upside down, rotate the bracket.
