If you don’t have a compatible charger, make sure you purchase one that meets the requirements of your Wyze outdoor camera to ensure safe and reliable charging. With the right charger in hand, you can keep your Wyze outdoor camera fully charged and ready to capture all the outdoor action.
Use a Wyze charger or a charger with input of 5V 2A.
If you want to make sure your Wyze device gets the power it needs to function properly, you’ll need to obtain a compatible charger. While there are plenty of chargers out there to choose from, it’s important to make sure you select one with an input of 5V 2A. This will ensure that your charger is capable of delivering the right amount of power to your device without causing damage or reducing its lifespan.
If you’re not sure which charger to choose, we recommend opting for a Wyze charger to ensure compatibility. Not only will this give you peace of mind, but it will also make it easier to troubleshoot any issues that may arise in the future.

The camera should start charging automatically, and a red LED light will turn on to indicate that it is charging.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LED light will turn off. It is essential to charge your camera’s battery entirely before using it for the first time as it will ensure optimal performance and battery life.

Plug the other end of the cable into a power source.
After plugging one end of the cable into your device, the next step is to connect the charger to a power source. This is the critical step to ensure that your battery gets fully charged. While most chargers come with a USB cable for power supply, you need to locate an electrical socket to plug in your charger.
Make sure the power source is stable, and it can provide the appropriate voltage output required by your charger. A weak power supply may result in slower charging and, in some cases, may not even charge your device at all. It is best to use the original charger that came with your device to obtain optimal charging performance.
Once you have plugged in the charger, you should see the charging indicator on your device, which confirms that the charging process has begun. The charging time may vary depending on the battery capacity and the charging technology used. Nonetheless, make sure to unplug your device once it indicates that the battery is fully charged to prevent overcharging, which may cause damage to your battery life.
Step 4: Check charging status
Once you’ve connected your Wyze Outdoor Camera to a power source, it’s important to keep an eye on the charging status to avoid any unexpected power outages. You can easily check the battery level of your camera through the Wyze app. Simply select the device and navigate to the “Device Settings” menu.
From there, you’ll see a “Battery Level” indicator, which displays the current charge percentage of your camera’s battery. This is especially important if you plan on using your camera without a continuous power source, as you’ll need to ensure the battery level remains charged to maintain consistent function. By regularly checking the charging status of your Wyze Outdoor Camera, you can feel confident that your surveillance needs are being met without any interruptions.
The camera’s LED should turn solid yellow when charging and solid blue when fully charged.
As you hook up your camera to a power source, the LED on the camera should light up. If the LED lights up solid yellow, it indicates that your camera is charging. The yellow light also shows that the camera’s battery is low and needs charging.
On the other hand, a solid blue light signifies that the camera is fully charged and ready to use. While the camera charges, it is advisable to keep it out of harsh sunlight or extreme temperatures. Keep track of the LED light to know when your camera is fully charged to avoid overcharging, which can disrupt the battery’s longevity.
By paying attention to the LED light, you can get the most out of your camera’s lifespan.
Step 5: Disconnect the cable
To charge your Wyze outdoor camera, it’s important to disconnect the cable properly. After you’ve plugged your power adapter into the wall outlet and connected the USB cable to your camera, you’ll see the light turn yellow, indicating that it’s charging. Once it’s fully charged, the light will turn solid blue.
But before you unplug the cable, make sure to shut off the camera using the Wyze app or by pressing and holding the setup button until the light turns off. Then, gently pull the cable out of the camera’s port to avoid damaging it. Always make sure to properly disconnect the cable to extend the life of your camera and avoid potential hazards.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your Wyze outdoor camera charged and functioning at its best.
