If you have an SD card in the WCO (Wyze Cam Outdoor) and it is plugged in ??? Do scheduled event recording or scheduled continuous record. Open the cam in live view on the app, go to bottom right and tap more. Tap scheduled recording and take your pick of motion only or continuous. Pick the amount of time and length of each video for events or continuous.
It does work, this is from a WCO

The SD card is need to do time lapse videos, schedule a recording, local recording, we currently have 4 at each site,and a sd card in the hub/base and our management maintenance customers love the wireless outdoor cameras and all cameras are useing solar panels,so our service technicians take care over 87 cameras for our customers and the ones we have at our sites, what’s so nice is our technicians setup the wireless outdoor cameras at the shop so when they get to the customer location all they do is deploy the cameras and solar panels, update the names and that’s it simple,we currently have very little issues at all most service calls is due to customers IP issues.
I have the same issue. The SD cards in the Wyze Cam Outdoor have not been used once after a month of outdoor use. Nothing. No data on the SD cards at all. I would like to have the option to record to the SD cards, even if I have to charge the camera more often. I’m also stuck with the Cam Plus for this Outdoor cam I can’t use.
So did your tap on the link above about scheduled recording and read the information? If you like charging your cameras every 8 hours or so set it up for scheduled continuous recording. Why can’t you use the cam that is on cam plus? I use recording to the SD card via scheduled event recording because I do not have cam plus the the 4 WCO I have.
Old thread but jumping on as a Wyze can outdoor user.
I didn’t read / consider continuous recording when I bought the outdoor and a cam V3. But I don’t need cam plus and didn’t find it super useful with my particular setup (lots of motion with wind and plants in a small space) but I’m willing to run 30 day scheduled recording if:
I can run the cam while powered with a cable making it a ‘wired’ cam (this works)
And the SD card will overwrite when full (I don’t know if this does yet - it simple throws a warning that the SD card doesn’t have 30 day capacity).
Sd cards are the high quality Samsung cards for CCTV (can’t recall the name but they are recommended here in the big sd threads).
Aware my effort might also burn the camera to cinders if it’s not able to handle that amount of recording and charging. If that’s the case I’ll give my units to a mate with wyze and grab something else that’ll integrate into home assistant (thingio doesn’t flash to outdoor as the sensors and setup are different)
