I have 2 OG’s and both have now stopped recognizing the SD card that has been inserted since they were set up. One rejected prior to the latest firmware update and the second a couple days after the update. Its requesting to be formatted but when i try, it tells me ‘operation failed’. Is it the cams themselves or do i need to try another sd card?
uSD cards do die - especially if being used for continuous write operation. Try the cards in a computer. Also try a known good card in the cameras.

Same issue on my OG cam. Sd card worked fine and then stopped working. Formatting from app fails. If I Restart the camera from app and then format sd card from app, it works fine for a week before the issue reappears. Never had this issue on V2.

Most likely that uSD card is on it’s last legs. It is failing enough that the camera detects it as failed. When you restart the camera, it resets that, but then detects that the uSD card is failing.
Replace the card.
I have 4 wyze og and they all do that randomly.if i restart them they clear up but will eventually screw up again.absolutely NOT the sd cards doing this.another older wyze cam use to do the same thing.bad software most likely.very unreliable.but there cheap soooo.not the sd card fault.
I’m having this exact issue. Never had an SD card in this camera before. I bought a new Class 10 card and ID said FAILED. I put the new card in another camera and it works fine. I took the good card from a working camera and the OG can still won’t read it. It’s not the card, what else you got?
Struggling with this issue now. 3 cameras so far, all 3 brand new cards. Have taken the cams down and replaced with others but still the same batch of cameras. Hoping its a software glitch and it’ll be fixed soon.
I have exactly the same problem on ALL five OG cameras for past 6 months. The only solution is to this problem is performing power recycle. However it will go back to “MicroSD card Not Found” state in a week. Recently I replaced one of them with V4 and does not seem to have this issue. It is definitely a bug and Wyze dev team should be aware by now yet no remedy to this problem yet.
I have the same problem with my Wyze OG. When the microSD card gets full, it stops working and says: 'microSD not found.
I hope wyze can fix, with some software update. I’m using wyze firmware 1.0.84
I have the same firmware on 5 OGs and none have that issue. Take the card out and format it in a PC with the sd card formatter from sdcard.org. Ideally do a full overwrite format, it will take a while but will potentially get the card working properly again. If it still has the issue, probably need a new SD card.
Thank for your reply. I’m using a Kingston basic of 32 GB microsd.
What format should i use fat 32 or exfat?
Either is fine for 32GB, I believe most format utilities will default to FAT32 for that size which is fine.
Standard cards can wear out pretty quickly in these cams especially if you’re doing continuous recording or have lots of events. 32GB will wear out much faster than a larger card too. If you do end up needing to replace it, get a Samsung or Sandisk Endurance rated card. 64GB is like $10 and 128 is 16 or 17, well worth it.
I’ll format with sdcard software. Thank you!!!
I have the same problem pulled out old card and Bought several new SD 128 HIGH ENDURANCE cards neither of them are seen by the camera tried everything formating ober with different ttolls and YET nothing working, Sugestions Please? Before I toss all these cameras Once and for all.
Is it happening with multiple cameras, and are they all OGs?
What are the symptoms, does the SD card settings screen not see the card at all or is it just having issues when you try to play back?
There is a bug related to the Panv3s where trying to view from the events tab will give you an error about the SD card, but that isn’t affecting the OGs.
I’ve had approx 20 total Wyze cams, but only 2 OGs. One of my OG’s had trouble recognizing 1 particular “high endurance” microSD. I swapped in a different card, which solved the issue #yw
That’s another thing to be on the look out for, fake cards are rampant. Have to be very careful about how and where you buy them.
Is there a way to test my card?
here are the carsI bought Amazon.com: SanDisk 128GB High Endurance Video MicroSDXC Card with Adapter for Dash Cam and Home Monitoring systems - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, Micro SD Card - SDSQQNR-128G-GN6IA : Electronics
Did they come with a white sticker on them with a barcode? If so that implies that they were from a 3rd party seller and not amazon. Either way, I don’t believe samsung has a validation tool, but you can do a full overwrite format on them using the utility on sdcard.org, it will take a while but will not only validate the card is the size it claims to be, but will put a good clean base file system on them. Can try it with just one to see if it helps anything.
