Hello Wyze Cam enthusiasts! I wanted to share some insights and tips regarding the motion detection and continuous recording features of the Wyze Cam V3. After setting up my Wyze Cam V3, I noticed that the motion detection worked exceptionally well, especially with the customizable motion zones. I assumed it uses pixel comparison, which allows for precise adjustments to the detection area, reducing false positives from things like wind or shadows. If anyone else has confirmed this, I’d love to hear more details!
Regarding continuous recording, I found that the Wyze Cam V3 handles it smoothly, even with a 32GB microSD card. The camera stores recordings locally, which is great for reliability. However, I encountered an issue where playback of past recordings sometimes showed the error message, ‘No video at the selected time.’ This happened even though the card was full, indicating that the camera was actively recording. I resolved this by ensuring the camera had stable power and was not experiencing frequent reboots. If anyone else is facing similar issues, double-checking the camera’s power supply and storage settings might help.
For those using Wyze Cam for outdoor surveillance, I recommend exploring the weatherproof housing options available. They significantly extend the camera’s durability in harsh conditions. Additionally, the Wyze Cam app’s cloud integration is a fantastic backup solution, ensuring that you never miss an alert, even if you’re away from home.
If you’re new to Wyze Cams or looking to optimize your setup, feel free to reach out with questions. Happy monitoring everyone!
