this is the setup process for the wise cam outdoor it is a two-part process because you have the base
station that lives inside and then you have the wise cam outdoor over there and then here i have
the cable for charging the wyzcam outdoor if we need it i will be using all of the included wiring
so the ethernet cable that comes with base station as well as the power adapter so step one is
obviously get everything out of the box step two is coming into your wise app selecting the
plus sign select add a new device and then here you can see there's base station and wise cam
outdoor we are going to select the base station so what we're going to do is connect your mobile
network to the device okay so what this is we need to make sure that our network that we're
on is going to be the same network that our base station is on so in my case i'm just going to
switch over to my iot network very quickly on my cell phone just to make sure and we're
going to hit next so here we're going to plug the base station into your power and router so
powering up the device and adding the ethernet cable so we're going to put down the cell phone
for a moment and like i said grabbing the included cableage we're going to plug in the
power and then we're going to come over and say we got orange on top and then we're going to plug in
the ethernet cable and put that down so we're going to give that a moment because we have
the light will flash blue and remain solid once connected so we're going to give that
a moment to do what it's going to do because right now it is orange and we're going to see
how long that actually takes to do it and sadly this is kind of where it's going to
live for the rest of the setup process because well the ethernet cable that comes with the
outdoor cam not terribly long so not terrible if you're going to have it really close to your base
station or your wi-fi router in my case the asus one i'll link over in the corner there
but not really good for if you're trying to set this up far away all right there we go it's
flashing blue and once it's a solid blue we will know it's connected so there we go it is connected
to my network so coming back to the application here we can put a check mark next to the status
light is solid blue because there we can see solid blue and select next so i can try again
or i can set it up using the qr code i'm going to try again and what i think may be happening
is because i have a separate wi-fi network for my iot devices that it is not going to be sitting
on my iot network it's actually going to be sitting on my name my main network so let me swap
all right so i've i've swapped over to my five gigahertz main network and i'm gonna give that
a shot and if that doesn't work i will switch over to the 2.4 gig network and if that doesn't work i
will set it up with the qr code that's what it is so we're going to give it a name so camera name
all right so we'll rename that but i don't necessarily know that i like that it's sitting on
my main network and does not allow me to put it on my iot network well here we go we're going to add
a new device and we're going to add the actual outdoor camera now so what we're going to do is
we're going to come over to the device flip it up turn the power button on the status light will be
a solid yellow keep the cam within six feet of the base station during setup and if light does not
turn on please plug in and charge your camera so let's see what we got here i've already pre-done
opening the base station so we're gonna flip that switch up and that puts it in the on
position now mine is yellow so this should mean that i have enough power to actually
link this to the base station now i had seen some other reviews that you know they had to
charge it first but we're going to try this and see what we got press the sync button on
the bottom of the camera so we're just gonna come around here there is our sync button
pairing is in progress please sleep all right hopefully you heard that pairing is
in progress please wait and now you can see on the back there it is flashing blue and yellow
and there it says complete all right and we could set up
different names for it so what we're going to do
is we're going to call this backyard for now and hit finish
we can select sharing the device if we want to we're going to say maybe later because we're not
going to do that and then begin mounting it's going to walk you through the mounting process
i'm going to skip this for now only because i'm actually just going to be placing this outside
while i test it until i find an actual spot that i'd like to keep it
so quick setup unlocked add new outdoor cameras by pressing quick set okay so that's base station
stuff we'll talk about that later this is part of the starter bundle so everything we
had to do manually so i'm just going to say got it and then here we go one last thing
it's kind of showing me all the things we're going to say all set and then obviously we're going to
have to upgrade the firmware so we're going to select upgrade the firmware so there were actually
two firmwares that i had to do one for the base station and one for the outdoor camera itself
