NO white sticker on them NO barcode , Said sold by Amazon.
Here is a pic of what I get when I look to see the SD card
Very strange. It is doing that on multiple cams?
I’d give one a format in a PC (you can use the quick format in the sdcard.org utility since it sounds like they’re legit cards) just to see. Sometimes they come with a strange format on them or some files on them that may confuse the cam. Worth a try anyway. Other than that, my only guess would be a power surge fried them all, not many other explanations for a bunch of cams all losing the SD card slot at the same time. I know it has been suggested that a firmware update or app update caused it but I have a bunch of OGs and they’ve had every firmware and app version without issue.
Only other thing I can think is maybe it is some sort of glitch with the app, you could try a reinstall of the app just to see.
In the app settings under account, do clear cache
Log out of your account in the app
In your OS do a force stop and clear cache
Uninstall the app
Reinstall the app
Log in and see if anything has changed.
If not, maybe try deleting a cam from the app, factory resetting it, and setting it up again.
If none of that works, not much other explanation than hardware failure. If they’re within a year, you can get warranty replacements.
I never said its doing it on Mulitple cams just one but any card I use has the problem…Did all that stuff you mentioned, didnt do factory reset yet…
How do I do a factory rest to the camera? its a Wyze Cam Pan V3 ?
OK you said you bought several cards and were going to toss all the cameras, so that’s what it sounded like.
Factory reset on the Pan v3 is holding down the setup button for like 20-30 seconds until it resets.
Was your pan v3 mounted with the camera on the bottom (upside down) outside? If so it is possible some water got into the SD card slot and corroded it. Should be covered by warranty if it is within that timeframe. If not you could try getting some contact cleaner down in there and use one of the old SD cards to insert and remove it several times to try and clean the contacts. Then a quick spray of contact cleaner again to rinse them off and let it dry out. But if it is under warranty I’d go that route.
Also make sure you’re using the correct power adapter (2000MA) or maybe even try a different one that is rated at least 2000MA/2.4A to rule that out.
Ok Here is what I did to get it to work. No matter what I did resetting unplugging reconfiguring , it would not work with the New 128 mg High Endurance card. But it DID work with the 32mg standard card after reconfiguring it I learned you must Under the Device Notifications you must have some Items check marked Under both RECORD and Notify, not sure why but after I did that it started working. Hope this helps others…

If you have it set to continuous recording, then you don’t need to do anything in events/customization, it will record. If you want events to tag a spot on the timeline, notify you, and list the event in the events list, then those other settings come into play.
So to clarify was it recording (you can go into the SD card and watch playback) and just not tagging stuff?
Obviously if you have it set to “events only” then it won’t record anything if you don’t have any events selected. However pretty sure if you have events toggled on, then it is impossible to de-select “other motion”.
It stopped working few hours later…Im done with then going start buying another brand cameras with less problems… thanks
It’s Obvious, as Wyze intends to PROFIT even more from a Per Cam “Cloud Access” to your OWN SDCard, As in instead of Direct Wyze App Access To you Own Individual SDCard, ie) Wyze Cam Plus $2.99/cam, Wyze Cam Plus Multi $12.99/all cams access. Profit Driven B.S. as is why their product is Sooooo Affordable and Disposable after 2-3 years ..
This conspiracy theory has been posted here more times than I can count. If it were true, everyone would be having issues with SD cards, but the vast majority are not.
It’s like saying when your car breaks down the manufacturer intentionally programmed it to do that. Some times things just break or don’t work properly.

Cams Unlimited Subscription is Now being enforced instead of accessing your own SDCard.,.! Believe It or Not. Wyze has hijacked this for a Fee..@$12.99/Cam…!!! Outrageous…Yes, To be Made to Pay for these Overpriced Landfill Fodder Cams, It’s a Joke and they don’t care about their customers…So PAY Up Beotches…!! 
I don’t need to “believe it or not”. I have no subscription, SD cards in all my cams, they work fine. Stop trolling, or at least go over to reddit.
I just logged in here to ask about this very topic. I have an SD Card in my v3 with 4.36.13.0416 firmware that used to work but within the last few months to a year I think, I have not been able to see videos tied to events any longer. I know that I can manually record video to the card, so I think I have it set up correctly. I have event recording on for all motion events, and I’m pretty sure that I know the UI flow to get to the event videos, but the app constantly says that there are no videos to view any more. This first camera was something I was kind of testing out, but now want to start using it and others more. Any ideas as to what I and perhaps the OP are doing wrong?
Do you have your SD card set to continuous or events only?
Do you see green on the timeline when in the SD card playback screen? If you’re set to events only, it will give that message if you aren’t right on an event.
I had been on continuous for the last few weeks and just switched back to events only today after my first post, and neither show events on the timeline. Is continuous the setting that you use? I used to not have to do that, so perhaps I’m looking in the wrong place for the videos tied to events?
Thanks for the response.
I also did a factory reset and SD format a few weeks back to see if that would fix anything, for what it’s worth.
I use continuous on most of my cams but also have a few with event only.
I don’t have v3s, they use a slightly different interface, but if you just go to the cam live view and tap the SD card button, you should be able to navigate around in there. Anywhere there is a recording, the timeline should show green, and if you have events, I believe it will have an icon for those too (all my cams do, but like I said the v3 is an older interface so not sure if it has those).
If you go into the settings for the cam under the SD card, does it show that space is used on the card?
Note there have been some issues lately (Panv3, but I think the v3 may have also had some) where trying to view event video from the events tab, then going to SD card from there would cause some messages like no video available. So try going through the cam live view and into the SD card, see if you can get to the recordings that way. If so you may just be seeing one of the bugs with the event screen.
The V3 camera uses the older UI so it’s the big green bar at the bottom of the camera display that says “View Playback” - not the SD card button.
Perhaps the problem is that I’m using the latest Android UI with a v3 camera?
@dave27 I did not see a way to navigate to the SD card from the live view…only from the Events view.
(edit @K6CCC I actually re-read what you mentioned. Clicking View Playback does take me to the same screen with no videos playback available)
I really appreciate you all taking time to respond to this.
Also just verified that I can manually save photos and edits to my sd card from the app but neither events nor continuous recordings save.
