Wyze Cam v4: Understanding Continuous Recording vs. Event-Based Clips for Optimal Security

When considering the Wyze Cam v4, it's important to understand the difference between continuous recording and event-based clips: Continuous Recording:

• With a microSD card (up to 512GB supported), Wyze Cam v4 can record video 24/7, capturing everything that happens, not just motion or sound events.
• This ensures you never miss a moment, as every second is saved for later review.
• No subscription is required for continuous local recording.

Event-Based Clips:

• The camera detects motion or sound and records short video clips when these events occur.
• You receive alerts on your phone when motion or sound is detected, and the camera begins recording at that moment.
• Event-based clips help save storage space and make it easier to review only important moments.
• Advanced event detection (like Person, Pet, Package, and Vehicle detection) is available with a Cam Plus subscription.

Summary: Continuous recording captures everything, while event-based clips only record when something happens. With Wyze Cam v4, you have the flexibility to choose the recording method that best fits your security needs. For full coverage, use a microSD card for continuous recording; for efficient storage and quick review, rely on event-based clips.
