Maximize Your Wyze Security: Best Practices for Local Video Storage with Wyze MicroSD Cards

For optimal local video storage with Wyze security devices, using a Wyze microSD card is a great choice. Here are some best practices to ensure you get the most out of your local storage: 1. Choose the Right Card Size: Depending on your recording needs, select a microSD card with the appropriate capacity. Larger cards allow for longer recording times. For instance, a 256GB card can store significantly more footage than a 32GB card. 2. Proper Installation: Insert the microSD card into your Wyze Cam carefully. For Wyze Cam v3, the slot is located under a silicone flap at the bottom of the camera. 3. Format the Card: Before using a new or previously used microSD card, format it within the Wyze app to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Remember, formatting will erase all existing data on the card. 4. Recording Settings: Enable local recording by accessing the camera’s live stream in the Wyze app and selecting either Continuous or Events Only recording, depending on your preference. 5. Viewing Recordings: You can view your recordings directly from the Wyze app by accessing the live stream and using the playback feature. Alternatively, remove the card and view the files on a computer. Wyze MicroSD Card: Offers continuous recording, supports time-lapse videos, and provides playback timeline controls, making it an excellent choice for enhancing your Wyze Cam's capabilities.
