Recently my Wyze pan cam V3 has been indicating that the “SD card not found”. I’ve replaced the SD card with New formatted SD card and also a known good SD card. In either case the camera is not recognizing a card in place. Is this typical of a camera that is failing. Are there options other than just replacing the camera?

[image] TheAlchemist: when cam plus, ultimate etc is not working Just like happened to me again early this morning thanks to my ISP $#@&*^@ Xfinity. I had one cloud video but review of the SD cards showed a lot of different events. I did a speed check on my PC that is usually 560 down and 23 up. Download was 0.3 MB, I didn’t check the upload. Apparently the ISP did some unannounced maintenance again, twice in two weeks. Restarting my router fixed it all. The Samsung High Endurance cards I use for continuous recording work great for issues like this.

Understood, but @vitocloe was saying they cancelled their cam plus subscription since it couldn’t be used without microSD card, but that isn’t’ the case. I suspect they were tapping the wrong place to view the cloud videos.

No, I was tapping the right place. I spent a lot of time with the Wyze Wizards who could not fix the issue of “no sd card found” under events, playback. I was told to buy a new cameras, I did replace one of my V2 cameras with a V3 camera and it worked. I am not about to replace all 7 of mt V2 cameras so I cancelled cam plus, it is unreliable.

I’m currently getting a microsd card not found error on my cam pan v3 when I have the SD card in and it works on playback but not from events [Screenshot_20241118_092927_Wyze]

This is a known issue with the events tab and Panv3 (and I believe Camv3 now too). Until it is resolved, just have to view the events from the main camera screen, either by sliding up the “drawer” at the bottom or by just going to the SD card and jumping through them there. If you submit a log file and open a ticket with support that may help get it resolved faster.

My Panv3 was connecting to & viewing my sd card just fine, until I did an update on that camera. Now I get the card not found error. I put a new card in it, rebooted & still same error. I didn’t update any of my other cameras, as I’ve learned to have 1 “test” camera b4 updating, & if it’s not broken anything, then I do the others. I did a flash back to the previous version that it had, & the camera accessed the card just fine when booting to it. Therefore it’s accessing (card IS found), the card. But even after flashing bk, I still get card not found error. I replaced the camera w another Panv3, & NOT updating it!

Do you only get that error when viewing the card from the “events” tab? Or does it do it from the regular cam live view screen (when you tap SD card there) also? The first one is a known bug, and if you let it sit a few seconds, usually it actually starts playing the clip. If you can’t access SD at all, that is odd, all my Panv3s are on the latest firmware for months without issues (other than the bug mentioned above which is actually related to the app and not firmware as best I can tell). The latest app version mostly resolved that for me, I now get the brief message then the clip plays. I did not have to format the SD or do anything else after updating the firmware.

I get the error when I try to access my sd card, “MicroSD card not found.” The card is good as I’ve put it in another cam & it access the card just fine, as well as put a new card in it. I booted the camera to the sd card in order to downgarde the firmware. The cam booted to the card & down graded just fine. However I’m still getting the same card not found error. I have noticed that when I put a card in, that the sound of a card being inserted doesn’t make a sound. Thus could tell me the card slot has an issue, however i don’t understand why it’s booting at start up to it when I flashed from the card, which would tell me the slot IS working.

There are multiple ways to access the SD card. One way (from the events tab) has a known bug in the app where it will say that. Other ways work fine. In the settings, is the SD card recognized and showing the right amount of space? If you go to the cam’s live view, then tap the SD card button below it, are you able to view the video there?
