Another test run in the auto yesterday and the video ran from the time of departure from the WiFi at 6:52 AM (lost WiFi connection) recorded until 8:22 AM (auto parked) and the green recorded area cuts off there, and the white area states there is nothing recorded in this area. Then when the camera …

We had already considered putting an older 12v WiFi router that we are not using into the auto. These are possible low power options we can also consider. We did test the camera in the auto again yesterday on 2 different trips. Each time the camera stopped recording after approximately 1,5 hours an…

[image] kyphos: Configure its WiFi to have the same SSID as your home WiLAN. If you go the travel router method, rather than set it up with the same SSID as your home network (which confuse things when it’s in the garage), I would setup the GL.iNet in bridge mode with its own unique SSID. The…

@Loki That’s excellent advice. The bigger question for me is whether this hack (an AP in the car) will solve the OP’s problem of the camera stopping local recording after 1.5 hours without WiFi. Is the camera timing out because there’s no WiFi network, or because there’s no (internet) connectivity…

Christine, In the past, I’ve done a number of off-grid recordings with my Wyzecam, notably a long (3+ hour) capture while sailing the fjords of Norway. Never had any problems. [image] Time lapse, sailing through Geiranger fjord, Norway Captured on Wyze Wyzecam V2 mounted…

Related thread: [image] Plugged in all the time? Cameras New to WYZE . I have a couple of the little cameras. Do I have to keep them plugged into a power source all the time? I thought I saw on the videos that they were just sitting on a counter. Thanks, Debby …

Would everyone that is experiencing this, please send logs to Wyze utilizing the feedback in the app. They are currently trying to chase down this issue and resolve it. Thanks!!

Yes, thank you, I saw your Fjord video, very captivating, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. All good info on the test procedures. The power being used in the auto is a battery jump start box with a large Gel-Cell battery inside, a digital voltage indicator and pleasant blue LEDs. That is used to po…

I missed the detail that you are using an external 12V gel-cell battery box (ie., not the car’s 12V power system). The jump box will work just fine, with no concerns about voltage variations or bad automotive power messing up the Linksys router. A lot of people here have been posting about how to p…

Hi @Tuna , it should be a bug in our code. The camera is supposed to keep recording even off WiFi connection. We should have one test case for this before we do every official firmware release. I don’t know when the issue was introduced. I will have our engineering team investigate on this and provi…
