I have a wyze cam v2 and have been growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of usability of even basic functionality. The ability to scroll back in time on local recording to a specific event is so hampered that it makes the camera basically useless. One issue is that the playback timeline is s…

Suggest you try that again with the camera near you. See if it starts clicking and rebooting. Either way, I agree with you, the playback is clunky at best.

Completely agreed - local playback seemed to barely work before but now the camera just freezes up whenever I try to view a recording from SD card (Android). I had gotten used to waiting 5-10 seconds for clips to appear on the playback timeline but at least they played. Now the camera “loses connect…

I found this thread because I’m new to WyzeCam (just bought one last week and got an SD card yesterday) and I’m running into constant reboot / connection lost messages when trying to scrub through my Playback video. I hear the clicking. Weirdly enough, the drop in connection is when I turned lights …

Welcome @MacStainless If you upgrade to the latest FW and are having problems with clicking and “loses connectivity” as stated by @seth.winkelmann . The solution seems to be downloading the firmware to a uSD card and manually updating. [image] How to flash your Wyze Cam firmware manually …

Thanks @dr.know . I’m in the latest firmware but I could try to re-flash it via the methods you mentioned. Should I use a different SD card then the one in the camera or can I use the same? I’d prefer to not lose my continuous recording history from the last 12 hours. Thanks.

You could use the same card w/oher recording since the boot strap will look for a file called demo.bin and it Should work. Personally I’d use a blank card with the FAT32 format rather then take a chance bricking the unit. The file is only a little over 10Kb. I used a 2GB card from an old camera a…

i also face similar issues, even with latest firmware 4.10.6.188 If i click on the camera to expand, it often gets stuck. My Wi-Fi is quite robust, Ubiquiti stuff with gigabit networking. The Access Point is quite near to the cameras as well. When i wish to expand something to see the garage area…

Hi Jamal, Besides a bad FW upload, a bad uSD card will cause these issues. [image] Wyze 32GB uSD High Endurance Maybe Later 32GB MicroSD (uSD) sold by Wyze needs to be the High Endurance Class card to support continuous video recording. Wyze needs to sell quality uSD car…

Wondering why SD card would be an issue for watching a live feed? The cameras can also be run without an SD card so I don’t think it is the matter in this case. I also have 2 cameras with Wyze SD cards and 2 with a 3rd party card. All perform in similar fashion. Sometimes, i also get error code: 13 …
