Very interesting - thanks for posting that [link](https://forums.wyze.com/t/rip-off-line-recording/32276)!

I’m _ **almost** _ glad I didn’t know that regular Wyze cams were ever capable of this version of “true” offline recording. I would be even less gruntled than I currently am.

This sounds a lot like what is being promised with the new Wyze Cam Outdoors, and is probably why the Wyze crew is so darned excited about it - yes?

The only offline recording I have ever encountered with Wyze cams is the kind where the cam has to connect to the internet for a short time to authenticate before being able to record off-line. Even this was an involuntary discovery when a battery backup kept the Wyze cams running and recording to the SD card even when the internet went down.

But it always feels like carrying a lit candle into the wilderness with no matches. Once the internet-authenticated Wyze cam loses power for a second, the show is over.
