Has anyone else ever experienced melting in the sd card slot. I bought a new v2 and Wyze sd card on Amazon to extend my network and after about 30secs of inserting the card I smelled plastic and saw a puff of smoke come out of the slot. Crazy!! I removed it and opened a ticket. I’m sure Wyze …

[image] UserCustomerGwen: This is really rare but happens occasionally. I would think twice before saying this openly, if something ever happens, you just paid out big time in a lawsuit… I’m sure you lawyers or legal dept will confirm what I am saying…

We already gave the stats of seeing it in less than 0.00001% of Wyze Cams earlier in the thread. Wyze would rather acknowledge that this is something that has occurred (and hopefully never will again) instead of sweeping it under the rug. It’s important to us to take care of our community. …

I saw that happen when care was not taken getting it out of the package. A scissors was used and nicked the card. :sunglasses: ruined the camera also (another brand)

I want to be able to utilize the micro SD recording. But at this rate I am super scared to even try to use it. I need the camera a lot so how do I avoid this. I definitely don’t want to have to deal with a replacement!

If the failure rate is truly 0.00001%, that’s way above the industry standard and no alternative will ease your fear. Good manufactures strive for 0.1%. The very best strive for a failure rate of 0.0025% (25 per million), and that rate comes at considerable cost to the consumer.

I have 16 v2 cams all running SD cards. :+1: I also have “other” non-Wyze cams, 2 of which melted down. :neutral_face:

What size do you use and how did you prevent the melt down ?

All of my cams run either 64GB or 128GB high endurance cards . I haven’t had a significant problem with any of the cams or cards. Note that Wyze only provides support for up to 32GB cards.

My “other” cams overheated from prolonged, direct sun exposure (or so the manufacturer claims). Most of my Wyze cams get the same exposure at some part of the day and a few are in constant sun during the daylight hours. I haven’t had a meltdown yet.
