I am discarding all my Wyze cams since the app has been changed to prevent me from viewing my SD recordings unless I subscribe to Cam plus.

[image] StevenA: I have a SanDisk 8GB SD card Have you ever tried High Endurance SD cards? I have used several different brands over the years including a few Wyze SD cards. But the high endurance SD cards tend to perform the best overall with less errors. After I switched to high endurance SD cards, I’ve rarely had any issues.

[image] StevenA: SanDisk 8GB SD :open_mouth:, do they still make them at that size?

[image] StopICU33: Have you ever tried High Endurance SD cards? All of my SanDisk 32GB cards are High Endurance. The 8GB is not High Endurance, just an old card I had laying around. I put it in my problem camera because all SD cards have the “Micro SD Card Not Found” error whether High Endurance or not.

[image] StevenA: all SD cards have the “Micro SD Card Not Found” error whether High Endurance or not That’s really weird. I’ve had issues with SanDisk in the past so stopped using them. Most of my Wyze cameras have Samsung Pro high endurance cards and they work perfectly.

Here is another thread discussing my issue. Forum User stanlam has a solution that previously fixed the issue on a couple other of my v3 cameras. My one v3 camera seems to be stubborn. [image] No SD card playback of events Wyze App Mine did the same thing. You’re going to have to delete the version 2 cam. Then add it back as if it’s a new camera. (I thought my V2 was the only one that did this.) Here is what i did. Delete camera through the app, and add it back as a new camera. Do NOT activate Cam Plus Lite yet. Get the camera to record an Event. Press the Event icon so you can see the list of Events. Click on one of the Event and hit Playback. (It should play SD Card now.) Activiate Cam Plus Lite now and it should …

genef113 I will gladly take all your discarded cameras. They work great for me.

The SD card works fine from the camera home / live stream page. It’s my understanding there are some cameras that might be having issues linking to it from the events tab. If that happens to you for some reason, just go to the live stream and click on the SD card button from there. As for SD cards, 90% of my 60+ cameras use SD cards from SanDisk, many of them for over 5 years and ongoing. All 1080p cameras and some 2K cameras use non-high endurance cards. So continuous recording. I have not had a card go bad yet. SanDisk has been amazing for me. I know some. I know some people report some problems with cards that aren’t high endurance but I I have not experienced any of those problems with 50 different cameras. I have started to use high endurance in some of the 2K and 4K cameras though.

Yeah I’ve seen the events tab issue on a couple of my cams. This happened with the Panv3 quite a while ago and go fixed, and I think it has come and gone on a couple of the other models I have. Haven’t taken the time to figure out which are/aren’t doing it, I think the v4 has the problem, which would make sense as the interface I believe is now the same/similar to the v3. Have also been having intermittent issues with notifications but I noticed that at some point something reset my android battery setting for wyze to “balanced” and changing it back to unrestricted has fixed that (along with making sure “running in background” is enabled in the app). My Panv3 waypoints (only have 1 “home” one on each) also stopped doing anything again, had to delete and recreate them. I’m starting to see why some people are still attached to the 2.5 app. But OPs insinuation that even with the events tab error that it is anything to do with forcing a subscription is obviously not accurate. Unless someone has a screen shot showing “to view your SD card video, upgrade to CAM+” or something. As you know, I’ve said it before, an error, bug, or glitch is not a conspiracy.

This may be a failed SD card. I recently pulled on our and can’t even read or format it on a PC/laptop. (Replying to reply above showing no SD card found or installed error.)
