I’ve had WYZE cams for many years, I have about 10 and many of them have stopped recording to the SD card, V2s, V3s, Pan V2 and sometimes my Pan V3 stops recording as well. I’ve done all the trouble shooting there needs to be done and nothing. These cameras have become very unreliable over the last …

Very strange that people have such different experiences. I’ve got the latest firmware on all my OGs now, and never once have my SD cards stopped working in an OG (I have 5 of them, one of them being the Telephoto version). Going on 2 years now with the same SD cards. It makes me wonder if there …

I have my Wyze cameras plugged into smart outlets (not Wyze ones) and can turn them on and off remotely if one is acting up … but I’ve also used this to have a staggered daily restart for my devices and no longer have SD card issues. I have a mix of cams with the oldest being V3s. I bought the card…

It could be “Internet Service” related… I live in the middle of the El Dorado National Forest and only have Internet service through cellular, trees too thick and tall for Starlink currently. So my Internet is not the best with occasional drop outs, and varying Internet speeds and latency. WYZE C…

There theoretically shouldn’t be any reason why spotty internet would corrupt an SD card. Even after 30 mins on the cams that reboot, my experience from looking at the files on the card is that the cam’s soft reboot does properly close out the current file and stop writing before rebooting. But of…

Good Idea. Maybe the form master, @peepeep , can come up with a survey form!!!

[image] dave27: That’s actually interesting since “pulling the plug” on the cam when it is writing to SD card can very easily cause corruption. While the cam may be able to ignore that file, eventually it will have an issue trying to overwrite it, or the file system could get totally corrupted. …
