I killed a V2 and now my Pan by doing what should be a normal set of steps:
Check even list
View a recent event
Return to list of cameras
Select camera that event occurred on
Click View Playback
Receive “SD card is not available” message
Pan Firmware: 4.10.6.218
V2 Firmware: 4.9.6.218
Android app version: 2.16.55
I’ve tried different version of firmware on the V2 (even the latest) but frankly ran out of time. And patience. Thought it was the SD card until I got the identical issue on the Pan which is far newer in my home. The SD card from the V2 connected to my PC via adapter works just fine.
Didn’t see this exact topic in the forums, so please excuse if this has already been solved and I didn’t see it!
I just tried your exact steps on both of my Pan cameras and two of my V2 cameras.
No problem at all. The only difference is a different firmware versions. The Pans are the current Beta - 4.10.6.235; and my V2 cameras have the RTSP 4.28.4.41 firmware.
What size, vendor and brand SD cards failed?
I’ve several Samsung 32 Gb EVO from the Samsung store @ Amazon that have been running for over two years and at least one that’s been outside for that time, all in V2’s, no problems.
Mostly used for continuous recording and some for time lapse.
I bought the cards because they were inexpensive (~$6@) and I needed a lot of cards.
Ok. Looks like the consensus is both SD cards are dying. Seems odd that I can see all of their content my my pc, but need to try replacing them as an option. These are all Wyze-branded SD cards.
Yes, that is one of several have purchased. Received with an exFAT Format and using as-is.
Today started testing this 64Gb ver. in a V3 outside. So far, so good. . .
Bummed to learn the wyze cards aren’t high endurance, I ass.u.me.d they were. Guess I won’t be buying any more of those. For the record, I think I’ve only had one card fail in 2 years on about 8 cams. I have a variety of brands and sizes (most over 32), but always look for the high endurance when purchasing brands ther than wyze. (Just hope I haven’t jinxed myself. ;-))
