Updated the Wyze App today (Android) 3/7/2022 You have to go into EACH CAMERA settings under Event Recording and switch Recording type to Video. I only figured this out as I immediately only saw Images in Events (Event Log) after app upgrade and started looking around. I am Cam Plus Light Name your own price. I had to do this with over 10+ cameras, pain in the a$$. Damn It! Wish they would have defaulted to ‘video’ for existing users instead of image… or at least give a heads up in an email/notification… did I miss something? I read all emails from Wyze. Also, they changed where the Cam Plus Light settings are, you have to swipe all the way left (it’s on the very right) under Account > Services.

It does if you want to record events as videos.

Events - as in what you see on the Events tab? That is not uSD card recordings.

[image] syoulden: It does if you want to record events as video If you have “record on motion” set for SD, then the individual recordings ARE your “events”. Not sure what else you’d need, except perhaps a central page that indexed the SD cards from all your cameras are once. That would be nice.

[image] syoulden: So my only option is to record continuously and then search for whatever I’m looking to find. My understanding is that even with just thumbnails you should be able to use them to jump to the event on the SD card timeline.

It doesn’t allow me to change it from image to video

[image] syoulden: allow me to change it from image to video That’s not anything to do with SD recording. I believe that’s only about cloud recorded images or snapshots. If you have been using the Events tab then you have NEVER been seeing what’s on your SD card.

Mine won’t let me change back to video! Takes me straight into a Cam+ subscription offer. This pisses me off. It was recording event videos up until midnight last night and now TWO of my cams are image only and won’t allow the shift back. WTF Wyze?

Search for Cam Plus lite (it’s free).

Just do it. :slight_smile: [image] Cam Plus Lite Deadline Extended to February 28th - 2/14/22 Wyze News [image] Deadline extended! Here’s how to keep continue recording videos to the cloud. [Shop Plans] Opt in to Cam Plus Lite Name your price - including $0/mo if you’re not in a position to contribute. Hey, friend! In case you missed it, Wyze Cams without Cam Plus Lite or Cam Plus will soon save still snapshots to the cloud when motion/sound are detected instead of video recordings by default.* The change was supposed to happen tomorrow, BUT we pushed it to February 28th. We’ll be making… Also, it’s not really a deadline.

Ummmm yeah - except I’ve had that all along and Wyze changed it arbitrarily and now when I go back to subscribe it tells me I’m already subscribed (No sh#t)…. But still won’t let me go further until I enter a credit card. Hmmm.
