I just noticed today upon watching my recordings in the Events section that all the recorded videos only show the final 2-3 seconds of motion? I could have sworn that a week ago it would start recording right when they detected motion or even slightly before. (v2 cams) What could be the issue? ---

I would try going into your camera’s settings, then go to advanced settings, then sync time. Whenever I have a delay I do that. ---

@Illumination Ty! I’ll let you know if this has fixed it. ---

@Illumination Hey, I just checked the recent recordings and the issue is still occurring 😔 ---

🙁 sorry to hear. The only other thing I can think of is if you have a micro as card, to make sure that it is not saving it somewhere else. I am not sure why that would happen but that’s what I would do. Good luck! ---

@Illumination The one I’m looking at doesn’t have a microsd card in it, but I do use 3 different handheld devices (2 tablets and a smartphone) to monitor my wyze cams, do you think this might be a reason why this is happening? ---

I don’t think that the number of devices you are using with it would affect it as I use a smartphone iPad and many other devices to monitor my cameras and I never have had a problem. The only other thing I can think of is to turn up the sensitivity for motion detection on your cameras. I found that when my motion sensitivity was lower, it didn’t register it as an event until the motion (usually a person) was leaving which would leave me with only 2-3 seconds of motion. When the sensitivity is higher it picks up motion quicker and started recording quicker. If still nothing is working, I would recommend contacting the awesome support team at > [@Wyze Support/Cancel Button](https://forums.wyze.com/t/wyze-support-cancel-button/149150/2): > > Wyze Support by phone: (206) 339-9646 **Available Monday - Friday 5 am - 6 pm PT and Saturday 8 am - 4 pm PT** ---

@Illumination I have a feeling it’s something else because it worked fine before even with my current sensitivity settings. ---
