In EVENTS the playback SD card icon is disabled / grayed out
If you click on the event screenshot itself then it ust takes you to annoying spammy spam āSIGN UP FOR MORE MONTHLY PAYMENTS YOUāLL BE SO MUCH HAPPIER IF YOU PAY US MORE INSTEAD OF USING THAT SD CARD YOU BOUGHT FROM US!ā
I am also seeing the disabled Playback SD card button on the Events playback screen of several of my cams. After trying all the standard (and not so standard) troubleshooting steps, I was able to determine that the issue is present only with new cams recently activated for the first time; namely, four brand-new V3s. The SD cards are otherwise working correctly.
Cam setup:
All have CamPlus (doesnāt matter if CP is enabled or disabled)
All have 128GB High Endurance microSD cards
Tested with the latest public release 4.36.10.4054 and beta 4.36.11.4565 firmware
Tested with Android 10, 11, and 12 devices with the latest public release 2.41.5 and beta 2.42.0 (b289) app
Have reformatted the SD cards numerous times, even though they had been working flawlessly in the cams the V3s replaced
I have a number of other cams (also on CP) which were activated between 2020 and 2022, and they continue to function normally, with the exception of a Cam Pan v2. Strangely, that cam now shows an activation date of May 16, 2023 (the approximate date I activated the four new V3s), even though it was activated in 2022. It now also has the disabled Playback button, even though it had been working until now. I have two other Pan V2s set up exactly the same way settings-wise (these still have their 2022 activation dates), and they are still working correctly. The only difference between the two working cams and the faulty one are the activation dates.
I am hoping that someone can confirm my findings, but that may prove to be difficult since it seems that the issue only occurs when activating a new cam. I canāt say if this is unique to the v3, but evidence suggests that the Pan v2 may also be affected.
I have the exact same issue and can confirm itās only affecting a newly purchased V3. On my old V3 event playback from the SD card is working fine, on the new one the button is greyed out, making events and the camera pretty useless.
I just purchased a Pan Camv3 and a V3 Pro. Both have the playback from SD card greyed out even though I have SD cards in both with continuous recordings. My other floodlight pro works just fine with local event playback.
Is this just a push to buy cloud services for certain devices? Seems odd for on device motion or sound detection.
In the Wyze app, tap into your cameraās livestream.Tap View Playback . Tap and drag the timeline to view the recorded video for a specific point in time. Available footage will be highlighted in the timeline.
Yeah, I realize this works, however itās much more inconvenient than accessing the event from the event tab. Also, I donāt understand why SD card play is available on the events tab from only 1 of my 3 V3 cams when everything (app, firmware, SD cards) is the same.
I bought a PanScan v3 last week and have this problem. Finding events in the timeline is a pain in the rear as itās not very smooth ā poor scrubbing and no skipping or speeding up. Iād love to go from the event view to the playback and have the option of jumping ahead or backward by a chunk of time.
I contacted their support and it appears they are aware of the issue
