It happened again. Spectrum service went down for about 8 hours last night. During that time, all my cameras were offline, and no events were recorded. This is unacceptable. I have always been a Wyze supporter, but this fault makes them look like Fisher Price kid’s cameras.
At the very least, events need to be recorded.
Once again
WYZE NEEDS A HUB FOR THE CAMERAS.
Besides that my V3 cams randomly stop continuously recording to SD and need a format to fix, then after format their good for how long?
Who knows?
Every now and then I will want to look for something in the past using the SD continuous record to only find it had stopped recording.
With Wyze if internet is lost the camera goes stupid, especially if there is loss of power even briefly during an Internet outage. The SD recorder only starts on cameras power up cycle if Internet is present.
This is just one of many reasons I am in the process of switching to Reolink cams.
No Subscription required for FULL Access and features unlike Whyze’s pay to play cameras.
For those of us whom started with Wyze V1 or V2 cameras back when Wyze was going to be a camera only company and never charge a subscription ended up changing that direction…
Reolink is Exactly what Wyze WAS going to be like until around V3 release, at that point the company went back on the business model and changed it totally for profit by subscription.
Firmware and Software are stable on Reolink unlike Wyze where it seems you’re the Beta Tester even without not being a signed up Beta tester, their signed up Beta testers are actually Alpha testers as the quality of public releases are full of bugs that THEIR testing should have caught prior to release if a normal company.
For the few dollars more Reolink is far less of a headache to maintain, actually there is no maintenance unlike chasing bugs in the latest releases from Wyze.
No internet or subscription needed with Reolink 
Nothing recorded to the SD cards?
It does record but after 30 mins starts recording to a directory from the date when the firmware was built (since it reboots and can’t set its time). If you find out the release date for the firmware you’re running, you can go back to that day in the timeline and the video will be there.
Or you can pull the card and put it in a computer, the folder should be obvious as it will be different from all the others.
Probably a behavior they need to look at, they added the “reboot after 30 mins” to try and fix problems people had with cams reconnecting to wifi, but if there is no internet, it then cannot set its time and thus starts recording under an older date. Not exactly sure what the best way would be in the app for them to fix that and not be confusing.
In reality, these cams need internet to operate correctly.
‘no video available at this time’ on every camera when I try to view the SD card.
