Wyze camera goes offline repeatedly after power outages

Start here

If it reliably fails after outages, solve recovery resilience: stable power, router boot order and a camera that can reconnect without manual setup.

Check these first

• Check whether router and camera regain power at the same time.
• See if a physical camera power cycle restores it.
• Check power adapter/cable and Wi-Fi signal.

Fix it in this order

1. Stabilize power and router first.
2. Power-cycle the camera after the network is fully back.
3. Update firmware.
4. If recurrence continues, replace suspect power hardware or service the camera.

Evidence to keep

• Outage timeline
• Recovery sequence
• Power hardware used

Do not make it harder

• Assuming factory reset is an acceptable permanent outage recovery plan

How you know it is fixed

• Camera reconnects after a normal controlled power/router cycle without re-adding it.

If the obvious fix does not work

1. For remote locations, consider a reliable remotely controllable power solution only if it remains online independently.
2. If the camera alone fails after outages while peers recover, isolate its power/camera hardware.

If this still isn't resolved

1. Wyze Support if one camera consistently fails recovery
