I have 4 Wyze V3 camera’s all on firmware 4.36.9.139 and all with an internal sd card on continue record. All event stuff things are off, because i use them to view stars and see meteors. Timestamp is on. When i watch the playback function i notice that it stops exactly when the timestamp reaches the whole minute. So when i watch someting at 23:12:03 1 i can watch until 23:13:00 . When i wanted to watch 3 minutes i must put the slider exactly one second further every whole minite. So lets say i want to watch a meteor from 23:12:01 till 23:15:01 I have to do the following. Start at 23:12:01 till 23:13:00 then manually put the slider to 23:13:01 Then i can watch it till 23:14:00 and again manually move the slider to 23:14:01 Then i can watch until 23:15:00 and again have to manually move the slider to 23:15:01 Why is it that i can record with no limit ( after 32Gb it starts overwriting) but i can only watch the recorded footage for one minute and is there a way to pass this limit ? Detection Settings: both sliders to 40 and detection zone off. Event recording: everything set to off. Notifications: off Alarm settings: off Advanced settings: Record to Micro SD card : Continious Night vision: Off All other settings: off only show timestamp is on. Rules: Nothing set. App version: 2.36.0.96 Sorry if this topic is in the wrong place, I am new here and english is not my native language.

I reverted the firmware to 4.36.9.131 ( note in the reply above the link to 4.36.9.131 points to 4.36.9.139 so change the filename in the link to 4.36.9.131.) I did the following: Get the card out, reformat it on a pc in fat32, put the firmware bin file on the root and downgrade it (usb plug out, put the reset button,hold it, plug the usb port in while holding it, release it when the statuslight turns purple ) After that, i did a factory reset to be sure ( pressing the button again but now with the power on.) The first cam i reverted the firmware in, now acts NORMAL so it plays continuely and don’t stop every minute. I did the same with the second one,and that one works fine now too. I do now get this stupid message that there is an update, it will be a great future when there would be a do not show this again option. But it seems that rolling back fix the problem. (edited it to confirm that rolling back the cam’s firmware did fix the problem) -Thanks to everyone that helped me with this problem !-

Tried anything with other cards, but no success, but i did noticed something. I have 2 working cam’s out of 4, the 2 that stops every minute i did upgrade them simultanious ( the system ask if i wanted to upgrade them both together and i pushed yes) The 2 other ones are updated stand alone ( each by each) do work fine. I did swap the cards from the ones who work with the ones that dont work and vice versa. So the two who stops playback every minute got the cards from the other 2 that do work. But with the 2 new cards in it, that works from the other two, the problem stays. The cards from the cams that stop playback every minute played okay in the other two. So it has nothing to do with the cards. The “damaged” cards reads and write well ( without formatting) and the “healthy” cards again stops after one minute playback after the swap. So i think something went wrong with the “batch firmware upgrade”. I gonna factory reset the 2 cams that where upgraded together and start again.

Factory reset will not revert the firmware installed. That requires a manual flash procedure. Don’t delete them from the app. If the factory reset and subsequent setup doesn’t fix it, you could flash revert to the prior stable firmware, test, and then individually update and test.

Thank you, I gonna search for the firmware, hope I can find it (I am dyslexic and had only one year English lessons) and the method how to flash it.

Not sure the firmware files are still on the download page due to the new security features in 4.36.10.2700 and beyond. But, the versions you need are still available.

Hi there, Did you find a solution to this? I have the EXACT same issue; it started on my Wyze Cam V2 (very suspicious of a fw update but I’m on a different version to you…and a subsequent update hasn’t resolved the issue), and has just popped up on my v3 too. Had contacted support who were empathetic up to a point, but no solution. Tryed reinstalling; reformatting S Disc etc, moving camera VERY close to Router (though I REALLY don’t think it’s my wi fi) then swapping SD card out, resetting the cache, the camera etc. No luck. I did notice that if you jump back 30 seconds at the point playback freezes, wait a second or two, then jump forward 30 seconds, you get past the ‘top of the minute’ mark. The comments others have made about how the files are stitched together are very interesting and sound like the crux of the issue. It’s very frustrating.

In searching for other instances of similar cam behavior, I found this thread which discusses a similar issue still awaiting resolution. I am curious if this is a power supply issue from the variance in freequency of European power. [image] This one has me scratching my head - Playback video pauses at every 60 sec mark Cameras Take a look at the video, it’s compilation of 2 videos of the same moment. The first bit is a capture of livestream, the second is a capture of View playback. Notice at the 00-01 second marck the video pauses for about 15+ seconds before the “connecting camera” message pops up and playback resumes but some 5 seconds after. Not shown in the attached the video quality goes to crap when a faster moving object enters frame. I believe this has been happening for some time now and the same thing occu…

Well this exactly describes my problem, and in the Netherlands we use the 50 Hz system, for now i ruled the SD card problem out, and sorry guys, but i am glad that i am not the only one. I now gonna try to revert the software to a more early one. If you don’t hear from me anymore something went wrong picking them on a 15 meters ladder…At least i gonna make my underpants dirty …

50Hz here in the UK as well, but I do not think this is the cause of the problem as the power brick should be taking care of the voltage and outputting a constant 5V. In fact I can honestly say that I have tested supplied power brick against an genuine Apple one and the same result. Jeremy

So good to hear that the reversion did the trick! :+1::grin: Can’t do anything about the file in the post as it isn’t my post. But I can PM the OP and suggest an exit. As for the popup, those do get annoying. Wyze is still working on the upgrade past .139 There have been two versions so far that just didn’t work well. Keep an eye on the forum for the announcement when the next version is ready.

Hi Nick. I’m in New Zealand and we also have 50 hertz power, so that’s an interesting line of enquiry. I agree with you that it is somewhat comforting to have other have the same issue. Steve
