All Wyze products after a certain date require a paid subscription to do anything (like 12-seconds video clip notification, some AI motion detection, etc). The v3 cam was before that date. Everything released after that need paid subscription for most basic features mentioned (like AI detection). The v4, the v3 pro, etc.
If you want to avoid paying for subscription fee, Tapo/TP-Link/Kasa camera is a better option at around the same price as this and NO more 5-mins cool down and lack of AI detection.

Click "SD Card" and you can select what time you want to see.
Works better than it did in the past. Not sure if thats a software update or the newer camera.
HTH
Check out Reddit for people's experiences.
Over the past few days, my camera has been offline - regardless of several power cycles for troubleshooting.
I'm glad I just use it to check in on my dog when I'm at work - I'd be annoyed if it was for anything important.
My Doorbell v2, floodlight pro, and v3s are working just fine.

And as someone mentioned, in term of quality, Tapo C120s is better than Wyze v3 and should be just as good if not better than Wyze v4 also and don't have to pay extra to get AI detection stuff and there is no cool down.
And as far as the 3 major lower price brand Wyze v4, Eufy, Tapo/Kasa security camera that offer some features without any paid plan. I don't think without paid plan, they (specially Wyze v4) provide any cloud video recording for free. But you can record to SD card for free. Some of them you can probably setup RTSP to record it in some other devices.
