How do I reset my SD card on my Wyze camera?

Answered by Michael Wilson

To reset the SD card on your Wyze camera, you will need to format it. Here are the steps to do so:

1. First, power off your Wyze camera and unplug it from the power source.

2. Locate the MicroSD card slot on your Wyze camera. It is usually located at the bottom or the back of the camera, depending on the model. Gently push the card inwards to eject it from the slot.

3. Once you have removed the MicroSD card from the Wyze camera, you will need to insert it into your computer. If your computer doesn’t have a built-in MicroSD card slot, you can use an adapter that allows you to connect the card to a USB port.

4. After inserting the MicroSD card into your computer, open the file explorer or any file management software.

5. In the navigation panel of the file explorer, you should see the MicroSD card listed as a removable storage device. Right-click on the MicroSD card’s listing and select the “Format” option from the context menu.

6. A formatting dialog box will appear, allowing you to choose the format type. In this case, you want to format the MicroSD card, so select the “Format” option.

7. Depending on the size of the MicroSD card and your computer’s performance, the formatting process may take a few seconds to a couple of minutes. Once the formatting is complete, you will see a confirmation message.

8. Safely eject the MicroSD card from your computer. On Windows, you can do this by right-clicking on the card’s listing in the navigation panel and selecting the “Eject” option. On Mac, you can drag the card’s icon to the trash bin and then click on the eject button next to the card’s name in the Finder sidebar.

9. With the MicroSD card formatted, you can now insert it back into your Wyze camera. Make sure it is inserted correctly and securely into the MicroSD card slot.

10. Power on your Wyze camera and wait for it to initialize. It should recognize the newly formatted MicroSD card and be ready for use.

Formatting the MicroSD card will erase all the data stored on it, so make sure to back up any important files before proceeding. Additionally, keep in mind that formatting the card may not resolve all issues with it. If you continue to experience problems, you may need to consider replacing the MicroSD card.

I hope these instructions help you reset your SD card on your Wyze camera successfully!
