Can’t understand why it records but says that the SD card is not there? WHY
Welcome to the Forum, @ajolly142! 
I wonder if you’re experiencing a longstanding issue with some (but apparently not all) Cam Pan v3s:
I suspect you’re seeing this error when trying to access the microSD card recording from an event (either from a notification or from navigating to the Events tab in the app and selecting an item there), and I wonder if any of the currently suggested work-arounds will show what you’re seeking:
- From the camera’s Live Stream screen, tap the SD Card icon in the control strip below the view pane (the first icon on the left). This will also take you to the microSD recording timeline.
- From the camera’s Live Stream screen, tap or drag up the RECENT EVENTS (below WAYPOINTS) to open this drawer and scroll through to select an event. Tap that, and then tap SD Card below the still image to view playback of that event from the microSD card.
Once you get to the timeline, you can select dates and scroll vertically. You should see a solid vertical green strip on the right if you have microSD recording set to Continuous; this line will be interrupted if you’re recording Events Only.
I don’t know why a lot of these cameras are having this microSD card issue. Last year it was reported for a long time (and tracked in fix-it-friday topics) as affecting mostly Cam v3s, but Wyze seemed to eventually roll out a fix for that. Since then, it’s seemed to affect mostly Cam Pan v3s and even some some Cam v2s. Hopefully Fix-It Friday will resume again at some point and we can get this back on Wyze’s radar.
Maybe 2026 or whenever dark mode has been fully implemented?

Heh. I audibly laughed at that.

I tired of Wyze too because of random SD corruptions, buggy software, etc…
Reolink’s line of 4k cameras is what I have been upgrading to.
Yes, they cost more but seem to go on sale almost every other week…
No subscription and fully useable unlike Wyze cams being hobbled unless you subscribe.
I found that I don’t need 4K. Which model is comparable to a V3? I don’t need spotlights, microphone, speakers or IR. Never had any issues with SD cards that a format didn’t resolve, once.
Same here a format fixes it, unless it was a Wyze Branded SD card 
Ever since getting high quality SD’s it’s just a format when the camera corrupts them.
For me it’s the fact they randomly choke and corrupt a SD card, and for me that’s when I am looking for something on the constant recording to SD that failed.
I used to “babysit” the Wyze cams and check them all periodically to see if still recording to SD but I have better things to do, and the camera should just work without all the babysitting and troubleshooting when bad software or firmware is deployed. Although now I just don’t update…
Just go to the Reolink website to see their offerings, they have different resolution cams to fit your needs.
Only reason I went with 4k was for reliable license plate capture and better detail on all video
EDIT: Also replacing Wyze cams due to the lens sucking water issue that is well documented and Wyze still uses crappy lenses in models since this issue was pointed out.
^another V3 sucked water to be replaced with a Reolink
