For the past few weeks I am getting hours of 3 second Events. [3 sec. events] There will be a few hours of normal 12+ second events, but then several hours of only 3 second events. It appears Wyze is having a problem. My OG’s camera firmware is current. The 3 second problem is not a browser issue as I have the same problem with Edge and Chrome. Anyone else having a problem with their Events only lasting 3 seconds?

The mystery continues, but I am seeing a pattern. When I am logged into Live View with my Edge browser, all the Events that occur while I am logged in, are 3 seconds. If/when I am logged out, all my Events are correct and full length. So the only way for me to see all my Events in 12+ second lengths is to first log out every time I close my browser. If I just close my browser (and not log out), and come back later, all my Events will be 3 seconds. Will have to contact customer support.

Have you tried clearing the App Cache? It may not resolve the clip length issue but worth a try.

This past weekend, I also started receiving 3 second video event recordings with my OG instead of the usual 12 seconds with Cam Plus. I likely had my PC’s browser open with the camera view up. Will try logging out of the browser (although I shouldn’t have to) to determine if I start getting 12 second videos again.

I have done everything I can think of. Cleared Cache, Reset Services, Power Cycle the camera, checked firmware. I just read AlbanyHDTV’s response and he/she also has an OG cam. This problem could be unique to OG cameras, and why so few people are having the same problem.

I am now wondering if this a problem unique to OG cameras. At least I am not alone. Maybe more OG forum members will join in to this thread.

If that’s the case, then I’d consider linking this topic into the announcement topic for visibility: [image] Firmware Updates - Released 5/19/2025 Wyze News New Wyze App Firmware Available Today, we are releasing 1.0.98 firmware versions for both Wyze Cam OG and Wyze Cam OG Telephoto, which includes the SightSafe security update. SightSafe: enhances security by embedding user-authenticated signatures at the media source, adding an additional layer of security to event videos and live stream. This will be a gradual rollout over the next few weeks. Read our Release Notes: https://go.wyze.com/releasenotes [May 19 update] Like I said, I’m not seeing this on my Cam OGs or Cam OG Telephoto, but I’m also still running older firmware (1.0.84 & 1.0.80, respectively).

My 3 second videos started on May 23, four days after Firmware 1.0.98 was released. Not sure when my camera got the 1.0.98 update. I looked around and couldn’t find anywhere to download older firmware versions, specifically the previous version 1.0.84. The latest 1.0.98 notes says * …, adding an additional layer of security to event videos and live stream. Possibly something went wrong in 1.0.98 and needs fixing. If you know of anywhere to get/download previous firmware versions please let me know.

I don’t think this would help in your situation, because Cam OG doesn’t officially support firmware flashing from microSD, as far as I’m aware. My understanding with several recent firmware updates is that they’re gradual roll-outs, so the timing you’re describing seems like it might fit with that. Like I indicated before, if I was in your situation I’d be inclined to post in the announcement topic for that firmware to describe your issue and drop a link to this topic.

Everything is functioning well on my end. The solution that significantly improved my situation was installing Access Points in every corner of the house. However, I find myself needing to reboot each Access Point, modem, router, and Wyze camera daily. It might be due to an excessive overlap of Wi-Fi channels.
