I am sad to report the demise of off-line recording. Wyze has done something in a recent release of cam firmware and/or the iOS app that killed the capability for off-line recording. What is “off-line recording”? It’s the ability for a Wyze cam to do local recording (i.e., to an SD card) without ha…

I did a test just the other day on this, I was testing to see if it would record if I booted the camera without WiFi, here is what I did. Set up cam with continuous recording to SDcard Also set a time lapse for 12 hours Unplugged cam and moved it to a vehicle. Drove away from Wifi then plugged in …

I see. So basically, you were able to access it over a LAN before? Interesting. I’m honestly kinda surprised that worked. That’s not something that I’d really expect to be able to do. But it’s cool that it used to do that.

Yep - the V2 camera used to work off-line, with no dependency on an internet connection to WyzeHQ. I could travel to far-away places (way off the grid) with my HooToo travel router - a dandy little gadget containing a router, a WiFi AP and a USB battery pack. The camera would power up just fine. The…

In the same boat. Paranormal investigator and got these JUST to use on the go in the dark, in locations with no wifi or power, significantly far from home. Can I downgrade the firmware and do it that way? Who has firmware archived earlier than the ones available here on the site?

When is someone going to delete this article then? https://support.wyzecam.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031483211-Can-I-use-my-camera-offline-without-internet-connection- It is fraudulently telling people before they buy these that offline recording still works!

Funny you should say that. @sodcam just made a great post explaining that it can sort of still work, just not by the @kyphos Norwegian Fjord Method (SM). [image] Data use with offline cam? WYZEC2 Cameras It all depends on what the meaning of “offline” is… slightly_smilin…

That article could use some clarification. @WyzeTanvi ? The camera will not currently work offline unless it had an Internet connection at startup to be authorized to function.

Some clarification? Well, perhaps. Frankly, I think that article needs a complete re-write, by someone who actually tests the use case described and understands the limitations of the camera. The article says: To view your recorded footage, you can … remove the microSD card from your Wyze Cam t…

I’ve been reading many of the articles in this interesting thread. Last week, the router in my vacation home crashed. I figured no big deal, I’ll just check the microSD using the app once I reboot the router… I have my 2 Wyze Cam V2s and 3 V3s set to record to the microSD card on events only. To my…

[image] MajB: perhaps it’s one way to encourage users to sign up for the CAM plus I have been a staunch supporter of Wyze and had not had to test this. Nope, it’s the one thing that will get me started looking for other systems. We don’t all live where the net stays up 24/7. :frowning: An…

RIP: Off-line recording
