My Wyze Wired Doorcam V2 arrived today.  I've got a number of other Wyze products and they all seem to work without much drama but I can't for the life of me get this going.

 

Followed the install instructions, connected - everything was going okay but couldn't get the existing doorbell to work.  Then I lost connection to the network and couldn't get it back. I then reset it - go through the process again and same result.  Everything connects, I can access the camera and then all of a sudden I lose the network and can't access the camera.  Almost feels like it's not drawing enough power?  Haven't even been able to press the doorbell button to see if that works yet.

 

Anyone installed one of these themselves and have any tips from their experience?

 

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a Wyze doorbell (I have a couple of Wyze cameras and a Ring doorbell.).

 

Had a number of teething troubles getting the doorbell to stay online until I installed an improved power supply...

 

Why? possibly the length of cable plus the temperament of the device.

 

Can you upgrade the power supply?

Not sure on upgrading the power supply - have a sparky coming over for something else early next week so will have a chat to him if I can't solve it before then.

I have one of these. I didn't have an existing dorbell wire so i bought a transformer off Ebay and the wire goes to a plug near my door. Still need to get some conduit to hide the wire but it works well.
