Wi-Fi camera users warned: Seeing live feed doesn't guarantee footage is saved

An article on DEV Community cautions that a live image on a WiFi camera app does not ensure a functional recording system. The piece explains that issues like stopped recordings, missed event triggers, or overwritten footage can prevent retrieving needed clips. It advises users to verify their specific camera model's compatibility with storage cards, including slot type, supported capacity, and formatting requirements. The author emphasizes that physically fitting cards can still be incompatible and recommends high-endurance cards designed for continuous writing. Finally, the guide suggests practical acceptance tests, like recording and exporting a known interval, to confirm the system works as intended.
