My Wyze Cam v3 only shows images, not video recordings.
Problem:
When your camera detects an event, instead of getting an Event Video you get a thumbnail image.
Troubleshooting
If you have Cam Plus or Cam Plus Pro:
Your camera was automatically assigned a Cam Plus Lite license after your Cam Plus trial expired. You simply need to change the recording type from Image to Video.
In the Wyze app, tap on your camera, then Settings> Event Recording > Recording Type > Video. After switching, you'll start receiving videos instead of images.
Tip: Cam Plus Lite gives you Person Detection and free 12 second videos only. To enjoy unlimited video length, Smart AI Detection, and Wyze Web View, assign Cam Plus to it instead!
If you do not have Cam Plus or Cam Plus Pro:
Your camera was put on the Basic Plan after your Cam Plus trial expired. To get video recordings, you must sign up for Cam Plus Lite (or higher) and update your settings.
