Does your Wyze camera say it’s offline<\/strong> in the app but you know for sure that it’s online? I ‘ve been there and I know how to quickly fix<\/strong> the problem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Wyze<\/span><\/p>\n

There are different reasons the Wyze can’t connect to the network and I already wrote about this in my article about the <\/span>Wyze error code 42.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

But you are not facing a network problem, are you? Let’s discuss about that…<\/span><\/p>\n

The misleading Wyze Cam offline message<\/span><\/h2>\n

But what annoys me the most is when the camera says it’s offline and I know for sure that it’s NOT because I can see the blue LED that indicates the camera is connected and I can even <\/span>watch it on my PC<\/span><\/a> as an alternative method.<\/span><\/p>\n

After trying to find a solution to this problem, I finally tried one that worked and fixed the problem once and for all, so here is the solution…<\/span><\/p>\n

To fix the Wyze Cam offline status in the app just manually <\/strong>install the firmware into the camera by flashing it via micro SD card.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The steps to flash the Wyze Cam firmware<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \u200bDownload the Wyze Cam firmware \u200bon the <\/span>Wyze website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Extract (Unzip) the file into your computer<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Make sure the file name is “demo.bin” (or rename it)<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Copy the file to a micro SD Card<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Remove the camera’s power cable and insert the micro SD card<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Press and hold the setup button and plug the power cable back<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Keep pressing the button and wait until the LED turns solid blue<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Release the setup button<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Wait for 3 to 4 minutes until the camera reboots<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Be patient while the camera is loading the firmware, it should take a few minutes and that’s completely normal, don’t panic and just wait a little bit.<\/span><\/p>\n

    When the camera is back online you’ll able to see it on your Wyze App.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u200bHow to flash the firmware into the Wyze Cam<\/span><\/h2>\n

    See the images that illustrate this process.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Rename the file to ” demo.bin<\/em>” .<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Rename<\/span><\/p>\n

    Insert the micro SD card into the camera.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Wyze<\/span><\/p>\n

    Press and hold the setup button.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Wyze<\/span><\/p>\n

    Plug the power (USB) cable back to the camera *while holding the button).<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Wyze<\/span><\/p>\n

    Observe the LED status changes from Yellow to solid blue.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Wyze<\/span><\/p>\n

    Now your Wyze cam should stop displaying the offline message.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you still have problems, visit the <\/span>Wyze Cam website <\/span><\/a>and ask for help.<\/span><\/p>\n
