There are several ways to view Wyze Cam Pan recordings. One way is to bring the camera back to an area with Wi-Fi coverage and use the Playback feature in the Wyze app. Another way is to remove the microSD card from the camera and insert it into a computer to view the raw video files (mp4 format). Recorded videos can also be viewed, sent, or shared through the Album in the Wyze app or from your device's photo gallery. Additionally, you can create an Event recording schedule so that your Wyze Cam Pan only records during specific times, and you can set it to record when it detects motion and/or sound.

What You'll Learn
Using the Wyze app
To view recordings from your Wyze Cam Pan, you can use the Wyze app on your mobile device. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
The Wyze app allows you to view recordings and manage your Wyze Cam Pan's settings. Here's how you can use the app to view your recordings:
- Enable Push Notifications: Ensure that you have push notifications enabled for Event videos in the Wyze app. This way, you'll receive a notification whenever there's a new recording.
- Access Event Videos: When you receive a push notification, tap on it to open the Wyze app. This will take you directly to the Event video that triggered the notification.
- Navigate to the Events Tab: In the Wyze app, tap on the "Events" tab. Here, you'll find all your Event videos listed. Scroll through the list to find the specific video you want to view.
4 Filter Event Videos: If you have a large number of Event videos, you can filter them to find the relevant recordings quickly. Tap on the funnel icon on the top right corner of the Events tab. You can then filter by "Person", "Motion", "Sound", "Package", "Pet Detection", or "Camera" to narrow down your results.
- Select Specific Triggers: Check the box next to the specific trigger that caused the Event video. For example, you can choose between "Motion" and "Sound" to view only the videos triggered by motion or sound detection.
- View Automation Videos: If you have created automations, such as scheduling recordings at specific times, you can view these Automation Event videos separately. Tap on the "Automation" tab and then select the specific automation to view its recordings.
- Save and Share Event Videos: You can save individual Event videos to your system gallery. Tap on the Event you want to save, and then tap the download icon. To share a video, tap on the share icon to access the sharing options.
- View Live Stream: You can also view the live stream from your Wyze Cam Pan within the app. Simply tap on the "Live Stream" option and use the two-finger pinch motion to zoom in up to 8x.
- View MicroSD Card Recordings: If you have a microSD card inserted in your Wyze Cam Pan, you can view the recordings stored on it. Go to "Settings" > "MicroSD Card" > "Manage MicroSD Card" > "Eject MicroSD Card". Then, remove the card and insert it into your computer to view the MP4 video files.
- Adjust Recording Settings: You can adjust your Wyze Cam Pan's recording settings in the app. Go to the "Home" tab, select your camera, and then tap the "Settings" icon. Here, you can toggle on/off "Record Motion Events" and "Record Sound Events". You can also set up a schedule for your camera to record events only during specific times.

Removing the microSD card
To view your Wyze Cam Pan recordings, you can either bring your camera back to an area covered by the Wi-Fi network it was set up on and use the Playback feature in the Wyze app, or remove the microSD card and view the raw video files on a computer.
Power off your Wyze Cam Pan and locate the microSD card slot. The slot is typically located on the side or bottom of the camera. Gently press the card to release it from the slot. If your camera has a locking mechanism, make sure to unlock it before removing the card. Once removed, inspect the card for any damage and clean it gently with a soft cloth if necessary. Insert the microSD card into your computer's card reader or adapter. Ensure the card is inserted correctly and securely. If your computer doesn't have a built-in card reader, you may need to purchase an external card reader.
Once inserted, open the computer's file explorer and locate the microSD card drive. You should be able to view the video files in MP4 format. The files may be organised into folders based on the date or recording mode. You can play the videos using a media player of your choice. It is recommended to use VLC Media Player, as it supports a wide range of video formats and offers various playback options.
After viewing the recordings, safely eject the microSD card from your computer. Refer to your operating system's instructions for properly ejecting external storage devices. Reinsert the microSD card into your Wyze Cam Pan, ensuring it is securely locked in place. Power on the camera, and it will resume continuous recording to the microSD card.
It is important to handle the microSD card with care and avoid touching the gold contacts. Additionally, ensure the card is always inserted correctly and fully seated in the camera or computer to avoid damage or data loss.

Night vision mode
The Wyze Cam Pan v3 is equipped with a starlight sensor that allows the camera to see colour in extremely low-light conditions, allowing you to see full colour at night.
To turn on the colour night vision, open the Wyze app and tap on your Wyze Cam Pan v3. Tap on the Settings gear, then Advanced Settings. Below Night Vision Mode, tap Off. The camera will then switch between colour and black and white depending on the level of light. If you would like to always view in black and white, you can turn the Night Vision Mode back on.
The camera has two settings: Dusk and Dark. If you enable the Dusk setting, the camera will switch from colour to black and white and turn on IR LED lights when the environment has low light. If you enable the Dark setting, the camera will only switch when there is extremely low light. Near-IR light is 940 nm, which is invisible to the human eye, while Far-IR light is 850 nm, which is partially visible. Far-IR is recommended for outdoor use as it helps the camera illuminate larger areas.
You can also set up your camera to record videos during specific times. To do this, tap Home, then the + plus sign. On the Add menu, tap Automation, then Schedule. Enter a name for the schedule, then tap the + plus sign next to Add Action. Tap the box next to Turn on motion detection, then Save. Set the start and end times for your schedule, then tap Save.

Push notifications
To receive push notifications on your phone for your Wyze Cam Pan, you must first ensure that you have enabled notifications for Event videos. In the camera's settings, tap ''Event Recording' and enable 'Motion' by selecting 'All Events'. If you want sound-triggered events, enable 'Sound' and 'Customize Detections'. Next to 'Other Motion', ensure that the boxes are checked for both the 'Tag' and 'Notify' columns. Repeat this step for 'Other Sounds' if you want sound-triggered events.
To turn on push notifications, go to the Wyze app and tap 'Account' > 'Notifications' > 'Push Notifications'. Toggle the 'Enable' button on. You can also select the sound that plays for your notifications and choose to receive an internet phone call instead of a push notification.
To view your Wyze Cam Pan recordings, tap on the push notification you received, which will open the Wyze app and take you to the Event video. In the app, tap 'Events' and scroll through the Event videos to find the specific video you want to view. You can also filter out the extra videos by tapping the funnel on the top right and filtering by Person, Motion, and Camera.
Note that an active Wyze Services subscription is required to receive Event videos. Make sure that your Wyze app is up to date, and that your camera's firmware is also updated to the latest version.
