Does anyone understand the need to have a time stamp directly in the middle of the camera view when scrolling through SD data in playback mode? The stamp itself might make sense if i wasn’t litterally already using a ruler like time-line to do the scrolling, but why smack in the middle of the cam vi…

Doesn’t the time stamp disappear when playback actually starts?

Yes, it does. But, it pops back up whenever i scroll or use the fwd/back buttons. It’s very distracting when im reviewing footage. It also prevents from being able to do a time laspe using screen record. Plus, it is poinless having the date and time in 3 different places on the screen at the same t…

But that feature is useful to me when I’m searching for a particular footage when I know the approximate time the event happened. Maybe you can request for a way to turn this off for time lapse.

Disappearing icons are bad. I have a V1 floodlight and I use the button to manually turn it on when needed. Then I installed a V2 floodlight. I couldn’t have guessed that button is now hidden and you need to tap on the view to see that button. Maybe Wyze is hiding buttons so there would be fewer bug…

The 3 places that i see the date/time on my screen are the time stamp embedded in the video itself, on the scroll strip along the bottom edge, and inside the black box that pops up in the center of the screen when using the scroll strip.
