I have no idea. That’s the short answer.
As I commented in the other topic, I believe that @grapefruityoda has done a lot of testing of this issue on Cam v3 and demonstrated that when the Cam restarts after ~30 minutes of lost Internet connectivity then the continuous microSD card footage that resumes after the reboot begins writing to a folder with a date and time that corresponds to the Cam’s firmware build timestamp. If you’re interested in more detail, then you can take a look at an older post like Cam Pan V3 firmware bug - #6 by grapefruityoda where some of that data is presented in tabular form. Other posts, like Wyze Cam v3 Timelapse & SD Recording Stops Without Internet Connection - #24 by grapefruityoda, indicate that the Cam does not restart after 30 minutes with certain firmware versions. The most recent post along these lines that I see in a quick search is from back in January: Wyze Cam v3, Pan v3, v3 Pro & Pan v2 Firmware Beta Test 1/8/2026 - #12 by grapefruityoda. Again, that’s about Cam v3 (which I don’t have) and indicates that the issue may have been resolved for that cam by that firmware release, but take that with a big grain of salt, because there’s always the possibility that the “feature” may have been reintroduced in other firmware released since then.
Because there are so many Cams and even different versions of some models (e.g., original Cam OG WYZECGS and the “2025 Version” WYZECGSD), each has a different firmware, and they don’t all share the same bugs/features.
I haven’t personally set aside the time to try to test this with Cam OG, and I’m not aware of anyone doing the same kind of iterative detailed testing with that Cam.
