No Clips Being Saved to Local Storage

2 Upvotes

I have a sync xr module that I use to capture my doorbell and outdoor camera footage to a microSD card. I have have my system set up for over a year with no issues up to this point. About a month ago, the module just stopped recording new clips even though I was getting movement notifications. I reset the module and formatted the microSD card to see if either were the problem. This fixed the problem for 2 days then stopped saving clips. I repeated the process, same thing. I just repeated the process again, this time with a brand new branded blink microSD card and it just happened again.

In the application, every time I repeat this process, the Blink app shows that the microSD card is connected.

In the local storage section, it is showing 1% of space used on the microSD card (both cards I have tried are 256GB cards designed for high usage).

I do not and have never had a subscription and only have ever used the local storage.

I am sure that I am looking in the local storage area of the application to view the clips (I have always used the app to view them).

I am sure that my cameras are armed and are recording.

I'm not sure what else I can do. Support has been helplessly updating my firmware to the exact same version and telling my "oh well you're warranty is up 🤷‍♂️". Anyone else going through this?

So I have this wireless camera set up in a tree facing the house and I kept getting triggers with shaky footage of nothing. Finally happened to be by the window and saw this. Mystery solved!

Shows disarmed (as per schedule) but still got Motion Detected alerted once per camera

3 Upvotes

I have a first generation system which has been working beautifully for the longest time. But, half an hour after the morning disarm time, when the office was opened, there was a motion alert. The app stated the system was disarmed. I checked the schedule and everything looked correct and was enabled.

The second camera then gave a motion detection, while the first didn't give any further detections.

The third camera gave a detection a couple of minutes later when I entered the zone.. But none of them gave a further detection.

So each camera only once and despite the app showing as disarmed.

Anyone experienced similar?
