My dad has 10 different wyze cameras in various locations. Two days ago instead of recording videos it would only take a picture during motion and sound events. I’ve been trying to find a setting but haven’t been able to figure it out. I just got my wyze cameras recently so I don’t have too much exp…

[image] SlabSlayer: Just had another exchange with another poster with the same issue ranting about the Wyze conspiracy to take away the SD Playback unless you pay. That’s a little confusing ATM. Forgetting the WCO, the SD playback buttons are not supposed to be affected. But as you say, th…

I have non-WCO cams (v2, v3, CP2) with no subscriptions, Cam Plus Lite and Cam Plus. All variations have Playback buttons on the Event display (image and video versions) and pressing the Playback button takes me to the correct spot in the continuous SD recording. There is one scenario where Playbac…

[image] Seapup: Attempting to view SD card Playback while viewing an Event from a Wyze notification results in “No micro SD card installed in camera” error. Ah, that explains some of the threads I’ve seen.

I agree, I have been using micro sd 128gig. It now only registers 62 gig and my cams do not even recognize that they are there. This sucks. I went from telling everyone about the cams to feeling like crap about my purchase. Why as a company would you change current camera. You should have cam out w…

[image] Newshound: As far as WCOs go, there never has been a Playback button on any of them, and probably never will be. I think that is the answer, I don’t have a WCO and never used one. I think that the change to the new platform pushed the WCO users from 12s CLOUD clips to Thumbnail CLOUD …

Just took a quick look from a v2 notification and see the same thing as you with Playback button now grayed out instead of error message. :+1: It looks like Wyze has changed something over the past 3 weeks when I wrote up the issue. Still not fixed though, as we should be able to jump to SD Playback…

I’ve got Cam Plus on all three of my cameras and I’m getting screen shots of motion only. Any ideas of what to do to fix?
