Downloading and Installing the Wyze App
Begin by downloading the Wyze app on your device. Search for “Wyze” in the App Store or Google Play Store. Once located, tap “Install” or “Get” to download and install the app.
Creating a Wyze Account
If you are a new user, open the Wyze app and tap “Sign Up.” Fill in the required information, including your email address and a secure password. Verify your email if prompted. Existing users can simply log in with their credentials.
Powering and Connecting Your Wyze Cam OG
Connect your Wyze Cam OG to a power source using the provided adapter. Wait for the camera to power on and the status light to become steady or blinking, indicating readiness for setup.
Adding Your Wyze Cam OG to the App
Open the Wyze app and log in if you haven’t already. Tap the “+” icon or “Add Device” button. Select “Wyze Cam” from the list of devices. The app will prompt you to connect to Wi-Fi and scan a QR code.
