Mark Events In SD Card Playback

The lack of motion/person markers in continuous recording to SD Card allowed a burglar to get away with $500 worth of tools even though I have (4) Wyze Cams that would all catch them on video.

This is the scenario. At our vacation home we have (4) Wyze cams covering outdoors and in the garage. There was a power failure and when power came back on, the WiFi router failed to start up correctly. So no alerts from the Wyze Cams. Four days later I went to our vacation home and got WiFi working again. I then noticed the missing tools in the garage.

I though no issue, I will see who did it on the Wyze Cams. But they were all set to continuous recording so I had four days of video in each camera with no way to tell when motion or people motion was detected. So it was impossible to watch that much video so the burglar got away with the theft.

As others have said, if the cams are set to record motion only, there are markers in the timeline. Just migrate these markers to the continuous recordings.
