Learn how to factory reset your Wyze Cam Pan v3 and reconnect it to the Wyze app. Step-by-step guide with common mistakes to avoid.

Quick answer

To reset your Wyze Cam Pan v3, press and hold the setup button on the back for about 10 seconds until the camera announces 'Ready to connect' and the LED flashes yellow. Then, use the Wyze app to re-add the device.

When to reset your Wyze Cam Pan v3

A factory reset is useful if the camera stops connecting to the app, you’re switching to a new Wi-Fi network, or you’re selling or giving away the device. It erases all saved settings and returns the camera to its out-of-box state.

Before you start

Make sure the camera is powered on and within range of your router. The reset process does not require an SD card or the outdoor power adapter, but if you use the camera outdoors, note that the Pan v3 is IP65 weather-resistant only when paired with a Wyze Outdoor Power Adapter (sold separately).

Step-by-step reset and reconnect guide

Step 1: Power on and locate the setup button: Plug in your Wyze Cam Pan v3 and wait for it to boot up. The setup button is on the back of the camera, near the base. You’ll hear a voice prompt or see the LED turn solid yellow when it’s ready. Common mistake: Pressing the button too briefly. Hold it for the full 10 seconds.
Step 2: Perform the factory reset: Press and hold the setup button for about 10 seconds. The camera will say 'Ready to connect' and the LED will flash yellow. Release the button. If the LED doesn’t flash, try again with a firm, continuous hold. Checkpoint: The yellow flashing LED confirms the reset was successful.
Step 3: Open the Wyze app and start setup: On your phone, open the Wyze app. Tap the '+' icon (or 'Add Device'), then select 'Wyze Cam Pan v3' from the list. The app will ask you to confirm the yellow flashing LED before proceeding. Common mistake: Forgetting to close other apps that may interfere with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi setup.
Step 4: Connect to Wi-Fi and pair: Follow the in-app instructions to connect your phone to the camera’s temporary Wi-Fi network (it usually starts with 'Wyze_XXX'). Then, select your home Wi-Fi network and enter the password. The camera will chime when connected. Checkpoint: If pairing fails, move the camera closer to the router and try again.
Step 5: Name and position your camera: Once the camera appears in the app, give it a recognizable name (e.g., 'Front Door') and choose a room. You can now pan, tilt, and adjust settings from the app. Common mistake: Using the same name as a previous camera, which can cause confusion in the app.
