Wyze Cam Outdoor 4.17.0.183 and Base Station 4.16.0.187 Firmware Released! - 11/3/20

Hi all, sorry about the confusion. This is a mistake we made on our support site and it should be fixed now.

CamPlus recording on WCO is triggered by PIR and motion detection

CamPlus users will get a special setting in Event Recording called max video length for WCO. The options are 12s, 20s, 30s, 45s, 1min, 3min, 5min. Max video length is the maximum recording length that a single CamPlus event video gets. For motion lasting less than max video length, event video will stop recording when the motion stops. For motion lasting longer, event video will record up to max video length. For example, I set max video length to 30 sec. If a motion lasts for 17s, I will get a 17s CamPlus event video. If a motion lasts for 55sec, I will get a 30s video.

There’s also more flexibility in the cooldown setting, from no cooldown at all to 5mins. We add these settings to battery-powered cameras to give users more control over battery life, unlike V2 and Pan that are always plugged in.

I hope this explains a bit about how CamPlus works on WCO. :slight_smile:
