Make sure the sd card you use is formatted to FAT32, If its under 32gb you can format on windows, I had a 64gb so I used a formatter online.
When you download the firmware (the JULY firmware) extract files, open the new folder and the bin file will be in there, rename to demo.bin , then i copied into the sd card. you can probably just extract the .zip file inside the sd card, but this is what I did.
Follow the instructions provided on wyze,
-Turn off cam, (unplug)
-insert sd card,
-Plug, turn on cam while holding the reset button,
-wait for it to turn blue, if it doesnt turn blue, like what happened to me, your file is wrong, or your sd card is exfat or something else. make sure its FAT32
-wait a couple of minutes, it says 4, i forgot about it and waited 10-15 minutes,
-now try and add the cam into your wyze app,
also, before all of this while i was figuring everything out, I left my sd card to record my surroundings, but you dont need to do that.
2 of my cameras saved the settings, one had to input my old settings.
What’s up with Camplus a lot of times only record 3 seconds videos. 4 and 5 seconds and when trying to view this 5 seconds video it says failed to upload event. What’s the point of paying for this useless camplus…
@stevebergmann@gyzmo
exactly! Glad I’m not the only one who having
This issue. camplus is a joke and frustrating we should get money back because it’s not working as described
It’s a bit annoying to pay for something that doesn’t work well all the time, but at least the event is detected and we can go and see it on our SD card. Hopefully it will improve because with the previous firmware, this rarely happened to me.
Same scenario almost every upgrade, fix one thing and another thing breaks. I did not do the firmware upgrade so I’m not getting the 3 second clips but, I now get the failed to upload error which I never got before. I still think they have an API/CamPlus issue going on, just my 2 yen.
On the positive side I have not seen the no fragment error for a couple weeks!
I have 6 pan cams - 3 here in NZ, 3 in Australia. After the latest firmware update all cams instantly failed with the error code 90.
I have manually flashed the NZ cams to the previous update - now working ok, all previous settings and footage retained.
The other cameras are now permanently offline, until I find someone in Australia with the skills, access and equipment to carry out the re-flash - making progress but a pain.
Moral of this?
Don’t EVER rush to upgrade Wyze Cam firmware. Wait a month.
I sent the reports of the 3-second clips up the food chain! Thanks for letting me know. Any chance you could send in a log through Account > Help & Feedback and then post the log number when you get it? I’ll get those over to the team.
