I bet Wyze does not have a factory producing SD cards. Am I wrong? Who makes them?
Thanks!

Every one of the Wyze SD cards I bought are all dead.
Probably the worst choice for a SD card in a Wyze Cam
They were all replaced with SanDisk High Endurance Cards and None of those have gone corrupted like the cheap Wyze SD cards.

I’ve never seen any indication about who makes them. As far as reliability goes, I’ve never bought a Wyze one. They may be fine, but I gave up on cheaper cards long ago after multiple failures or performance problems in other devices over the years.
These days, I only buy the top rated brands like SanDisk, Lexar, Transcend, PNY, and even then, use the best of those brands. I’ve used a lot of cards for everything from simple storage to many trail cameras, video cameras, drone cameras, etc. Usually, I stock up on several with Amazon Black Friday, Prime day, Slick deal alerts, etc, and end up with quality cards for around the price of the cheaper knockoff brands.

I bought a few of the Wyze cards a few years ago. None lasted more than a couple months. Like bryonhu, I am using the SanDisk High endurance cards. Never had one fail yet - and I have 30 operational Wyze cameras that are all set to continuous recording.

I’ve been using Kingston Class 10 32GB, 3 pack for $8.99 Canadian from Canada Computers on all my cams and dash cam for over a year. No issues. Hope I’m not jinksing it 
The Wyze cards shipped with many bundles/deals. I’ve never had any luck with SD recordings on Wyze cameras.
You haven’t had any luck recording to SD cards in general or just on Wyze cards?
All my cams are in continuous recording. The first one is from 2019. I have 13 now and never have a card failed. Sometimes but rarely, after a cam reboot, I have to format one on pc but I think it is more a Wyze software issue. Before this step, I try a second or third reboot. Usually, this issue is fixed itself. Alf of my cards are Sandisk Ultra or Extreme and the other half, Sandisk High Endurance.
Now that I’ve mentioned it, I hope I don’t have to begin to change some of them 
. They have long since exceeded the number of rewrites estimated by the company.

Not with any cards. Sometimes things work but mostly they don’t for me. I treat my Wyze cameras as if they don’t have SD cards in them. It avoids inevitable disappointment when I need footage.
Interesting 
I haven’t had any issue with SD recording on all my five cameras.

I cannot say with absolute certainty, but I am fairly certain that the supplier of the Wyze SD cards is Longsys (Shenzhen Longsys Electronics Co Ltd). I have multiple deductive reasons for being fairly sure of this, but suffice it to say that I feel fairly certain that is the supplier for these, along with many other companies, including the “Amazon Basics” SD cards. Wyze’s are fairly identical to those. Longsys cards are usually really highly rated, durable and last pretty long in my experience.
I am surprised so many people in this thread have had a negative experience with them. They’ve always worked really well for me. Especially the 128GB and 256GB cards are U3 V30 C10 cards…
I know lots of people SWEAR by High Endurance cards, but 95% of the SD cards I have in more than 2 dozen cameras are not high endurance, and they all record and play totally fine and have lasted YEARS, so while I do have a couple High Endurance cards, I personally have not really noticed a big difference at all, and certainly not enough to justify the extra cost. 
But people whose opinions I highly trust and respect swear by them.
But the U3 V30 C10 cards Wyze is selling should be more than fast enough for any camera Wyze has, including the 2K V3Pro cams. I have non-high-endurance cards in most of my V3Pros, including one with a 400GB card, and they all work fine.

Same here, all my cards are plain Class 10 especially the one in my dash/rear camera. It records two separate streams front and back and have been using it for over two years, and I drive a lot. Once a month I do 1200 Km round trip to the cottage, plus daily driving.

I think overall, Micro SD cards have probably gotten more reliable across the board. I’ve never tried a Wyze branded card and they are probably just fine. My preference for name brand and higher end cards is probably just from past experience of buying the cheapest I could find and having several fail. This was when an 8GB card was a huge one and 2 and 4 were more common. I think I still have some 256kb SD cards somewhere which were standard at one time for early digital cameras. It just stuck with me I guess. As I mentioned, these days I stock up when I see a lightning deal or other big sale on big name high endurance and pay similar to regular price cheaper ones.

Yeah, that’s the way to go! If you can get High endurance cards on lightning deals, etc, that’s indisputably the best.
I guess I should clarify that high endurance cards are definitely indisputably better cards. They are made differently and for sure better quality cards. If you have a high endurance card on sale for the same price or just slightly higher price than another card of the same size due to a sale, I would absolutely buy the high endurance card. I did that a few weeks ago when high endurance cards were on sale. I will always get those over others when they’re on sale.
I was simply trying to let people know they probably don’t need to be too worried about it since most of my 2 dozen cams just use normal 128GB U1 C10 cards that have all lasted years of nonstop abuse without problems. They record and payback fine for several years for me, so I’m okay with buying and using them still. But yes, I will always take high endurance instead when they’re on sale for closer to the same price! They’re absolutely better quality material in the way they are made.

That goes without saying, and just to justify my claim earlier that I use C10 cards with no issues, doesn’t mean that they are the same or better. High Endurance cards will outperform regular C10 cards in so many ways. In my case, having 3 pack of C10 cards for $8.99 made a better sense than going High Endurance, even if they failed after 6 months.

Yes, I fully agree with that. Hence why I do the same thing as you. As I said, most of my cards are non-high-endurance, for exactly the same reasons you gave. Even if they did burn out slightly faster on average (which so far, they last for years), like you said, they’d still usually be cheaper to go with even if I replaced them more often, so I generally stick with the same idea as you. 
Great clarification/point to make there.
