I am at a loss of the use of the MicroSD Card in the Wyze Cam Outdoor. As I see it, standard detection captures 12 s of motion. If you want anything longer than that, the only choice is to use Scheduled Recording. If one is using the camera for security purposes, one would have to record for many h…

[image] Complete Motion Recording + Playback on Wyze Cam Outdoor SD cards Probably Not I think you can use the “Scheduled Recording” to record 24/7. But we should have the option to only record motion for longer than 12 seconds.

The battery won’t last 12 hours on continuous recording. That is why it is not an option.

[image] paolucci: I don’t see what the usefulness of a MicroSD is. Can anyone enlighten me? What is the micro SD card slot on the camera for? The micro SD card slot on the camera is meant for the time lapse and scheduled recording features. This is meant to save videos that you intend to sh…

We’re not asking for continuous recording, We’re asking for complete motion capture SD card recording. Since motion is trigger by PIR, the probability of false triggers and battery consumption are drastically reduced.

So if I use the camera for security purposes and I want a 30 s or 1 min motion capture what do I do? For me the 12 s is next to useless and I am not sure that it can be used for any legal purposes. If this motion can happen any time during the day because I am not home, I cannot use time lapse or “S…

Hi @sicones & @paolucci The reason Wyze used passive infrared detection in the WOC was to reduce power consumption. With PIR the camera and processor are sleeping, no motion capturem total zZ.zzz. I agree about the length of recording, it could be maybe 15 seconds or some adjustable length. I thi…

There are specific uses for the micro SD cards, as stated. However, it is very clear that recording complete motion to either card was left out to force customers to enroll in a monthly service. I understand that these cameras are cheap and likely don’t return enough profit to fund their growing com…

This thread is about the Outdoor Cam which is more like $50 and doesn’t work with Person Detect. The Person Detect was built-in but that option was bought out by another company so the informmation is now proce$$ed by Amazon. Cloud storage is free for the 1st 50GB by many company. The doorb…

Indeed, all we are asking is to be able to adjust the length while we recognize that the longer the length the power consumption goes up. But at least the customer has some control over this.

Agree! I’m sure Wyse gave a lot of thought to the 12 second rule. If you go to Search results for '12 seconds category:12' - Wyze Forum You’ll see there are 50+ suggestions re:12 seconds Vote for one or more. . .
