Post by Groovy2 »


the #8 V3 cam stoped recording timelapse video
dont know why - has worked well 7 months -
did update now it seems to work now -
maybe there is a memory cashe that fills up -
have now updated all 3 cams - fixed all -

could also be company trying to sell me stuff - likely

Going to be traveling so will set up as travel cam -
works well - timelapse is super fast -

I have a nice dash cam that records out the drivers side window
video is amazingly good - Travel -
use same cam for cloud timelapse -

last few night cams have not been recording - Timelapse
dont know why - have good internet here-
have had one or 2 cams record then next night not record-
last night3 cams Nothing recorded -
I spent 5 hours yesterday messing with cams
could get a cam to record - then it wont record -

So today I deleted everything off memory cards - deleted cams -
then Started over and reset everything -

Every cam has recorded One minute files Every time - no problem

there is Not a way to Look at cams to make sure its recording Time Lapse -

for all the cams to glitch out at same time has to be software or
some type of internal memory full

My first V3 would not download time lapse videos. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure it out and then I swapped out the SD card. The old SD card worked fine everywhere else but apparently the V3 did not like it. Once I put in a new SD card everything worked as advertised.

well I spoke to soon - 2 cams did not record time lapse last night -

after more looking - the last 2 updates are Full of bugs -
last update i did was 3.19 - Do Not install it or the one before it -

Wyze sells All kinds of stuff that they try to make work together -
old new - its not working -
trying to be the everything company is Real hard to do
many fail -
trying to find info on wyze site is a time hole -

Now
I am trying Turning OFF cams with app before unplugging power to cams -
so far it may be working - testing right now -
Accutally I was surprised that power could be unplugged and TL file was saved
worked for months - if this does not work Im out of ideas -

Cams Have to be Turned ON with app to restart -

I have tried -
new memory cards -
formating memory cards - in cam / on computer -fat32
deleting cams - reinstalling cams - restarting cams

when Re installing cams -
some setting did changed by restart so cam did something -

Cams worked good for months - lot of fun -
now really glitchy and not dependable at all - month
over last few nights different cams would record TL -
some nights No TL -

update was released 2 months ago -
all my cams updated in last 3 weeks ish -
no telling if cam software will ever be fixed -

from what I read apparently update cant be Rolled Back at all -
not good - -
