Possible Reasons for Time-lapse Not Saving to SD Card
- SD Card Not Inserted Properly: The SD card might not be securely inserted into the Wyze Cam, causing the device to not recognize it.
- SD Card is Full: If the SD card doesn't have enough space, the camera won't be able to save the time-lapse video.
- Incompatible SD Card Format: The Wyze Cam supports formats like FAT32. If the card is formatted in a different file system, the recording won't work properly.
- Faulty SD Card: A corrupted or damaged SD card can prevent data from being saved correctly.
- Firmware Issues: Outdated or buggy firmware could interfere with time-lapse recording features.
- Incorrect Camera Settings: The camera settings may not be properly configured, preventing time-lapse from being captured and stored.
How to Fix the Problem
- Check SD Card Installation: Ensure that the SD card is correctly inserted; re-insert it if necessary to ensure a secure fit.
- Free Up Space: Check the storage capacity of the SD card and delete unnecessary files to make space for new recordings.
- Format the SD Card: Reformat the SD card using the FAT32 file system. This can often be done through the camera's app settings or by using a computer.
- Use a Different SD Card: Test with a new or known working SD card to rule out possible card malfunction.
- Update Firmware: Go to the Wyze app and check for firmware updates for your camera to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes.
- Review Camera Settings: Double-check your time-lapse settings in the app to make sure they're configured correctly for recording and saving to the SD card.
