Use the Wyze Cam Mounting Kit to secure a camera on walls, siding, or ceilings. Follow these steps to avoid common installation mistakes and get a stable, well-placed view.
Quick answer
To mount a Wyze Cam on walls, siding, or ceilings, use the Wyze Cam Mounting Kit: attach the bracket with the included adhesive or screws (screws not included), then connect the longer Micro USB cable. Clean and dry the surface first, and choose a spot with a clear view and strong Wi-Fi signal.
Why surface type changes your mounting approach
The Wyze Cam Mounting Kit includes a bracket, adhesive, and a longer Micro USB cable. Adhesive works well on smooth, clean surfaces like painted drywall or glass, but it may not hold on rough or dirty materials such as brick or textured siding. For those, use screws (not included) or consider a different mount.
Siding often has an uneven profile, so adhesive may fail over time. If you must mount on siding, choose a flat section or use screws designed for exterior use. Always check that the surface can support the camera’s weight and that the cable can reach a power outlet.
Placement tips for outdoor camera placement
Aim the camera at entry points like doors or driveways, but avoid pointing it directly at the sun or bright lights. Keep the camera within Wi-Fi range; a weak signal causes dropouts. For outdoor use, ensure the camera is rated for outdoors (Wyze Cam v3 and v3 Pro are, but v2 is not). The mounting kit fits Wyze Cam v2, v3, and v3 Pro, but only outdoor-rated models should be used outside.
Step-by-step camera mount installation
- Choose and prepare the surface: Select a flat, clean, and dry surface. Wipe away dust or grease with a damp cloth and let it dry completely. For siding, pick a flat section or plan to use screws instead of adhesive. Adhesive fails on dirty or rough surfaces—clean first, and avoid textured areas.
- Attach the mounting bracket: Peel the adhesive backing and press the bracket firmly onto the surface for 30 seconds. If using screws, drill pilot holes and secure the bracket with screws (not included). For a stronger hold, let the adhesive cure for a few hours before mounting the camera.
- Connect the power cable: Plug the longer Micro USB cable into the camera and route it to a power source. Use cable clips or ties to secure the cable and prevent strain on the camera. Avoid pulling the cable tight; leave a little slack so the camera stays in place.
- Mount and adjust the camera: Snap the camera onto the bracket and adjust the angle to cover your desired area. Check the live view in the Wyze app to confirm the view and signal strength. Test the view before final tightening—small adjustments make a big difference.
- Secure the cable and check stability: Use the included adhesive or cable clips to secure the cable along the wall. Gently tug the camera to ensure it is firmly attached. A loose cable can pull the camera down—secure it properly.
