Troubleshooting Wyze Cam Notifications and SD Card Issues

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with the Wyze Cam Pan V3 notifications and SD card recording issues. I’ve been using my Wyze Cam for a while now, and it’s been a great addition to my smart home setup. However, I recently noticed some frustrating behaviors with the notifications and SD card recording, and I thought I’d walk through how I tackled them.

First, the notifications. I’ve been disabling the notifications on my Wyze Cam Pan V3 because I don’t want to be woken up by early morning activity, like the dog walkers or the newspaper delivery. But every few days, the notifications would mysteriously turn themselves back on, which was really annoying. I had to keep manually disabling them. After some research, I found that this could be happening due to a setting reset or perhaps a firmware issue. I decided to check the firmware version on my camera and update it to the latest release. After the update, the issue seemed to resolve itself, and the notifications stayed disabled. If you’re experiencing similar issues, I highly recommend checking for firmware updates as a first step.

Next, the SD card recording issue. I have a 32GB SD card in my camera, set for continuous recording. However, when I tried to view the recorded footage during non-event periods, I kept getting a ‘no video at the selected time’ error. This was puzzling because I knew the camera was recording. After some troubleshooting, I realized that the SD card might be full or corrupted. I decided to format the SD card and reset the recording settings. Since doing that, I’ve been able to view the footage without any issues. It’s important to regularly check the storage on your devices and ensure they’re not getting overwhelmed with data.

Overall, these issues were a bit frustrating at first, but with some patience and troubleshooting, I was able to get everything working smoothly again. If you’re having similar problems with your Wyze Cam, I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if there’s something else I can assist with. Happy smart home tinkering! :control_knobs:
