Continuous Recording question

Cameras
1

I’m considering setting my V2 an V3 cameras to continuous recording. How long will they record before they write over the oldest content?

Depends on the size of the card and the resolution you save in. A 32GB in SD mode can save 7-8 days. In HD mode, 2-3. I do the 2-3 days, and it is rare that I want to go further:

I’m getting 2 weeks on a Samsung 128GB Pro endurance.

/edit - I should have mentioned - the scene is highly dynamic, with a big screen Tv that’s on from 0500 until 2400.

It also depends on the activity level of the camera video. I have 64GB cards in all of mine and a couple get several weeks - but the image essentially never changes.
Especially if recording continuously, only buy high endurance cards (the Wyze cards are not). Here’s the ones I am using:

I am having difficulty getting my new Wyze Cam V4 to continuously record. I have followed all the tech protocols and suggestions but just recording events. It recognizes the card Im using fine but not recording continue footage. Its a C4 microsd memory card, Is the card my problem?

If it is recording to the card it should not be a card issue, though I suppose anything is possible if the card can’t keep up. But usually the cam would throw an error in that case.

Are you sure you have continuous selected? Sometimes people get confused over what selected looks like (grey vs white). White means selected, so your continuous button under Micro SD Card should be white, and events only should be grey.

If that is selected, what does it look like when you go to the SD card button under the live view of the cam? Is there a solid green line or just small pieces of green with each event tag?
