How do I record to a microSD card while offline?

When you're using the Scheduled Recording feature, your Wyze Cam will still record your video even if it loses its connection to Wi-Fi. As long as its connected to power, it will still record.

To use this feature, you must have a microSD card installed in your Wyze Cam. The microSD card is where your scheduled recording (Timelapse) video will be saved.

To record to a microSD card while offline:

  1. Insert a MicroSD card into your Wyze Cam.
    1. A chime will sound when connected.
  2. Set up a Timelapse video (aka, schedule a recording). 
    1. In the Wyze app, tap on your Wyze Cam and load the live stream.
    2. Tap Timelapse, and set the date and time 
  3. Schedule a recording (aka, a Timelapse video).
    1. In the Wyze app, tap on your Wyze Cam and load the live stream.
    2. Tap Timelapse, or More > Timelapse. 
      • Add the Start and End times, and the Interval (length of the recording).
  4. Wait for your scheduled recording time, ensuring your camera is connected to power.
    • If you lose connection to Wi-Fi, your video will still record.

Additional Notes

  • You cannot record offline without first being online, to set up the scheduled recording.
  • Recording offline means either losing your internet connection unintentionally, or purposely disconnecting from Wi-Fi while a recording is scheduled. 
  • Your Wyze Cam must remain connected to power to record to a microSD card.
