- A:Answer The answer is Yes and No. If you want all the features like saving to the cloud and other features then yes. What I did was use an old micro SD card and you insert it into the camera. Then you have to format using the app. Once you do all that, you can basically use the camera for free without the subscription. It may be a little annoying because you will constantly see ads to upgrade. Just make sure you select to save the videos on the SD memory card in the options within the app. Also, it will not notify you of any movement within a 5 minute period. For example, if you walk past the camera and then 1 minute later walk pass the camera , it will only show you the first time walking past. It takes 5 minutes to reset for the next movement. I hope this helps you out before you buy the camera.

- A:Answer If you are refering to the micro sd card, it does not come with it. It will work but you probably will need to use the subscription plan to save your videos in the cloud. If not, you can buy a 128GB , 256GB or higher and insert it into the camera and use the free plan. Just make sure to format the card within the app and also to add the SD card as the source to save the videos. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionCan this camera be used in a vacant home with no internet. Just a wi-fi hot spot. If so, can I use my phone remotely to activate the "siren"?
Asked by Bikermom.
This question was asked about the related product: Wyze - Cam v4 - Indoor/Outdoor, Plug-in, 2.5K WiFi Security Camera with Color Night Vision & Motion Activated Spotlight - Gray
- A:Answer Hi there! The Wyze Cam v4 can be used without a continuous internet connection by scheduling recordings to a microSD card. However, to set up and configure the camera initially, an internet connection is required. Once set up, the camera can record to the microSD card even if the Wi-Fi drops, as long as it has power. However, to use features like activating the siren remotely, you would need an active internet connection. This is because remote access and control through the Wyze app require the camera to be connected to the internet. If you have a Wi-Fi hotspot available, you could potentially use it to connect the camera to the internet for remote access.

Q: QuestionHow many Hours of recording on local memory card ?
Asked by HoursOfRecording.
This question was asked about the related product: Wyze - Cam v4 - Indoor/Outdoor, Plug-in, 2.5K WiFi Security Camera with Color Night Vision & Motion Activated Spotlight - Gray
- A:Answer The recording time on a local memory card for the Wyze Cam v4 depends on the card’s capacity, resolution setting, and recording mode: Resolution Setting: Higher resolutions use more storage. Lowering the quality will extend the recording time. Recording Mode: Continuous Recording: A 32GB microSD card typically stores around 2-3 days in HD quality. Event-Only Recording: The card lasts much longer as it only records when motion or sound is detected, potentially lasting several weeks depending on activity level. Card Capacity: Wyze cams support up to 256GB microSD cards, significantly extending recording time. In general, a larger card and event-only recording will maximize recording duration.

Q: Questionis there an app that doesn't charge $40/mth to record?
Asked by kmac.
- A:Answer What I did was put in a 128GB micro SD card. Then you need to format it using the Wyze App. After that you can choose an option in the settings to save videos to the SD card. Once you do that you can view the videos on the SD card within the app. You can do this on the free version but it gets a little tricky on where to go view the videos. Once you do it a few times you will know.

Asked by CemA.
This question was asked about the related product: Wyze - Cam v4 - Indoor/Outdoor, Plug-in, 2.5K WiFi Security Camera with Color Night Vision & Motion Activated Spotlight - Gray

Q: QuestionDoes this camera require a subscription?
Asked by Anonymous.
This question was asked about the related product: Smart Security Camera Wyze Cam v4 - 2.5K QHD Indoor/Outdoor WiFi Security Camera w/ Color Night Vision & Motion Alerts - White
- A:Answer Not for basic features. Without a subscription you can tune into live feed anytime and get screenshots when an event is triggered (sound, movement, etc.). With a memory card, you can access the recording going back as the size of your memory card allows. For full functionality (cloud storage, video clips of events, etc.), a subscription is needed.
