Start here

Error 90 means Wyze cannot reach the camera. Power-cycle first; if it persists, remove a microSD card/third-party power accessories as a test and use the model-specific reset/re-setup flow.

Check these first

  • Check status light/power.
  • See whether other devices on the same network are offline.
  • Power-cycle the camera and router.
  • If accessible, test without the microSD card and with a known-good compatible power cable/adapter.

Fix it in this order

  1. Power-cycle camera.
  2. Reboot router.
  3. Update app/firmware if the camera reconnects.
  4. If Error 90 persists, follow the exact model factory-reset/setup steps.
  5. If setup repeatedly succeeds then Error 90 returns, capture logs/status and investigate Wi-Fi/power stability rather than endlessly re-adding.

Evidence to keep

  • Error code
  • Status light
  • Power/cable test
  • Other-device status
  • Firmware/app version

Do not make it harder

  • Factory-resetting every camera when the router/cloud is the actual problem
  • Leaving a suspect microSD card installed during diagnosis
  • Using unsupported firmware files

How you know it is fixed

  • Live view loads reliably and the device remains online after a power/router cycle.

If the obvious fix does not work

  1. If all Wyze devices drop together, troubleshoot router/ISP/cloud first.
  2. If one camera alone drops, swap its power location/cable and compare signal.
  3. If it went offline immediately after firmware and remains abnormal, submit logs/support instead of reflashing random firmware.

If this still isn't resolved

  1. Wyze Support with submitted log
  2. Router/ISP support if multiple devices are affected
