I just got the Wyze Cam V3 and updated the firmware. I bought a new Sandisk 32GB microSD card. I bought this to record continuously overnight. I loaded the Wyze app, set up the camera properly, chose the settings I wanted, and started recording. I did successfully do some short continuous record…

I think you have a lack of understanding. It sounds like you are looking at a camera, and press the “Record” button. That is recording live to your phone - not to the uSD card. That will be result in the what you describe. To record to the uSD card, select the gear in the upper right corner for …

And then in the morning, tap the View Playback button at the bottom of the camera’s live stream page to view the contents of the uSD card.

Thank you for your reply. I had gone into the Settings (gear symbol at top of Live Stream screen) → Advanced Settings. There I have the following enabled: Record to MicroSD card Continuous recording is selected Auto (night vision) Camera Status Light - on Show Timestamp - on Show Wyze Logo -…

Even with the app minimized or closed, even with your phone off, even with your phone on another continent, even…

Everyone above has done a pretty good job of explaining the two different types of recording (which admittedly can be a bit confusing). But let me see if I can separate the two types for you: Recording what you’re watching to your phone’s album: (this is what you were doing originally) What does t…

I want to thank everyone for your knowledge and the time you took to explain things. Now I think I understand how things work. I did see the “teal” colored area on the one screen and moved around in the area to see the video. I admit that I didn’t understand what it was until it was explained to …
