    How to reset the Wyze Outdoor Camera<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You cannot hard reset Wyze Outdoor v1 & v2 cameras for obvious security issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Without this security feature, a potential thief can steal your camera, reset it to factory defaults, and sell it in the aftermarket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, you can power cycle these cameras to fix any bug or glitch affecting their performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Factory resetting a Wyze camera is the last step before contacting support for a replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Resetting the Wyze camera is usually your last resort while troubleshooting it for various connectivity and functionality issues. The best part is that it mostly magically solves the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I hope you were able to reset the camera by now. It shouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember that you cannot perform a factory reset on Wyze Outdoor v1 & v2 models. Power cycling is the only available option to address any functionality issues that may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
