Troubleshoot Low Storage Errors on Wyze Cameras: Optimize Your Wyze MicroSD Card for Seamless Recording
Experiencing low storage errors on your Wyze camera even with a new Wyze microSD card? Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow:
1. Ensure the Wyze app is up to date: Check your app version in the Account tab under "About" and update it if necessary.
2. Update your camera’s firmware: Go to the Account tab > Firmware Update and install any available updates.
3. Properly insert the microSD card: Remove and reinsert the card into the camera. Wait for a “ding ding” sound to confirm it’s recognized. If you don’t hear it, try reinserting or use a different card.
4. Set the camera to record to the microSD card: In the camera’s settings, enable "Record to MicroSD Card" and select "Continuous" mode for testing.
5. Format the microSD card: In the Wyze app, go to the camera’s settings > Advanced Settings > Manage MicroSD Card > Format. Wait about 30 minutes and check for footage.
6. Power cycle the camera: Unplug the camera for 5 seconds, then plug it back in.
7. Factory reset if needed: As a last resort, remove the microSD card, hold the setup button for 10 seconds until the status light turns solid red, then set up the camera as new.
If you continue to experience issues, ensure you are using a compatible Wyze MicroSD Card, which is designed for 24/7 continuous local recording and time lapses.
Wyze MicroSD Card: Enables continuous recording, supports time lapses, and is optimized for Wyze Cams.
