Wyze Cam V3 Continuous Recording Issue and Solution

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with the Wyze Cam V3 continuous recording feature. I recently faced an issue where the camera stopped recording when my Wi-Fi went down during a scheduled power outage. Here’s what happened and how I resolved it.**The Problem:**I set up my Wyze Cam V3 with a power block and an SD card, configured for continuous recording. During a 5-hour power outage, the camera initially recorded fine. However, when the Wi-Fi router lost power, the footage stopped until the router came back online. I was under the impression that the camera would continue recording to the SD card even without Wi-Fi, so this was unexpected.**Investigation:**I checked the camera’s power supply and settings. The camera was plugged into a power block that wasn’t affected by the outage, and the block had over 30% battery remaining. The SD card was functioning correctly, and the camera’s settings were properly configured for continuous recording.**Solution:**After some research and troubleshooting, I realized that the camera relies on Wi-Fi for certain operations, even when powered externally. To ensure uninterrupted recording, I decided to use a backup Wi-Fi router with its own battery backup. This way, the camera maintains a connection even during primary router outages.**Outcome:**Since implementing this solution, the Wyze Cam V3 has been recording continuously without issues. It’s a simple fix that ensures my security setup remains reliable.I hope this helps anyone else experiencing similar problems with their Wyze Cams. Happy smart home tinkering! :rocket:
