Linking Wyze Cam To Fire Tv: A Step-By-Step Guide

If you want to link your Wyze camera to your Fire TV, you're in luck! You can use voice commands to connect your Wyze camera to your Fire TV. First, you'll need to make sure you have the right equipment: a 2nd Generation Wyze Cam or a Wyze Cam Pan, an Amazon Fire TV Stick (not a first-generation model), a TV or monitor with an HDMI port, and a smartphone or tablet with the Wyze app installed. Once you have all the necessary hardware, you'll need to update your Wyze Cam's firmware to the latest version and enable the Wyze skill on Alexa. Then, simply press the microphone button on your Fire TV remote and say something like, Alexa, show me the [camera name]. That's it! You should now be able to view your Wyze camera footage on your Fire TV.

Ensure you have the right Wyze Cam and Amazon Fire TV Stick model

To ensure you have the right Wyze Cam and Amazon Fire TV Stick model, you need to make sure they are compatible. First, you need to have at least one of the 2nd Generation Wyze Cams or a Wyze Cam Pan. The original v1 Wyze Cam doesn't support streaming to a Fire TV Stick.

You will also need to make sure your Wyze Cam's firmware is updated to the latest version. This is done through the Wyze app on your smartphone or tablet. Open the app, name your camera, tap on the camera's feed, then tap the Settings icon in the top right corner to access the Camera Settings. From there, you can upgrade the firmware. Ensure that your camera and device are connected to a Wi-Fi network with a working internet connection.

Additionally, you will need an Amazon Fire TV Stick (not a first-generation model) and its remote. The earliest version does not support the Wyze skill, which is necessary for this setup. Finally, your TV or monitor should have an HDMI port to plug the Fire Stick into.

By confirming that you have the correct models and updated software, you can ensure compatibility and a smooth setup process for viewing your Wyze Cam footage on your Fire TV.

Update your Wyze Cam's firmware

To update your Wyze Cam's firmware, you must first ensure that your camera and smartphone are connected to a Wi-Fi network with a working internet connection. Then, follow these steps:

• Set up your Wyze Cam on the Wyze app on your device and give it a suitable name.
• Tap on the camera's feed in the Wyze app.
• Tap the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the screen to access the Camera Settings.
• Tap on 'Upgrade firmware'.

Alternatively, you can manually flash your Wyze Cam firmware. This process can help fix critical bugs and force updates if necessary. However, it is not a standard troubleshooting step and requires additional knowledge and devices, including a microSD card, a microSD card adapter, and a computer with an SD card slot. Here's how to do it:

• Insert your microSD card into the computer and ensure it does not contain any other files.
• Download the desired firmware version from the Release Notes & Firmware page.
• Unzip the .zip file and ensure the folder is named correctly (the name varies depending on your Wyze Cam model).
• Drag the folder to the root directory of the microSD card and then remove the card from the computer.
• Power off the camera by unplugging it from the wall or power adapter.
• Insert the microSD card into the Wyze Cam.
• Press and hold the setup button on the camera while plugging it back into the power source. Hold the button for 3-6 seconds (or 12-15 seconds for Wyze Cam v1) before releasing it.
• The camera will automatically begin the firmware flash process, which may take up to 5 minutes.
• Once the flash is complete, the status light will become solid blue, and the camera will reboot.
• If the camera was previously set up on the Wyze app, it should automatically reconnect. Otherwise, set it up as a new device.
• Remove the microSD card from the camera before continuing to use it.

Please note that the manual firmware flashing process may vary slightly depending on your specific Wyze Cam model. Always refer to the official Wyze support website for the most up-to-date and accurate instructions.
