by

Wyze Cam OG is a popular security camera known for its affordability and reliable video quality. Managing your video storage effectively is essential to keep your footage organized and secure. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to view, download, and delete footage stored on your Wyze Cam OG.

Understanding Wyze Cam OG Video Storage

Wyze Cam OG offers two primary methods for storing video footage: cloud storage and local storage via a microSD card. Cloud storage requires a subscription plan, while local storage involves inserting a microSD card into the camera. Each method has its advantages and limitations.

Viewing Footage on Wyze App

To view your footage, open the Wyze app on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure you are logged into your account linked to your Wyze Cam OG. Follow these steps:

  • Tap on the Wyze Cam OG device from the device list.
  • Navigate to the “Event” tab to see motion-triggered recordings.
  • Select a specific event to view the footage.

For footage stored locally on a microSD card, you can access the recordings directly through the app if the camera is connected to the local network.

Downloading Footage from Wyze Cam OG

Downloading footage allows you to save clips to your device for offline viewing or backup. To do this:

  • Open the Wyze app and select the desired event or footage.
  • Tap the download icon (usually a downward arrow) within the footage view.
  • Choose the location on your device where you want to save the video.

If your footage is stored on a microSD card, remove the card from the camera and insert it into a card reader connected to your computer. Copy the files directly from the card.

Deleting Footage from Wyze Cam OG

Deleting old or unnecessary footage helps free up storage space. To delete footage via the app:

  • Open the Wyze app and go to the “Event” tab.
  • Select the footage you wish to delete.
  • Tap the delete icon (trash bin) to remove the selected footage.

If using a microSD card, you can delete footage by removing the card and deleting files directly on your computer or using a card reader.

Additional Tips for Managing Video Storage

To optimize your storage management:

  • Regularly review and delete outdated footage.
  • Upgrade to a larger microSD card if local storage fills up frequently.
  • Consider subscribing to Wyze’s cloud storage plan for automatic backup and easier access.

Proper management of your Wyze Cam OG footage ensures you always have access to important recordings when needed.
