Which Wyze Cams can be used without Wi-Fi?

Some Wyze Cam devices have the ability to continue working even when not connected to the internet. Specifically, you can schedule a recording to a microSD card; as long as the camera has power, it will record even if the Wi-Fi drops. But which Wyze Cams can do this?
