What Recording Methods Does the Camera Support?

Learn about the three recording methods supported by the camera and how to watch the recorded videos

The camera supports three storage mechanisms:

1. Manual Recording

Recording will start only when you click the Record button on the APP. Once you exit the APP, the recording ends. You can click "Local Video" to view related videos.

After inserting the SD card correctly, you can enable SD card recording via "Camera Settings" -> "Memory Card Storage", and the recording time period of the camera can be set in "Schedule".

You can set the camera recording time period in "Schedule", which supports up to two working time strategies. If you don't set it, the camera will record automatically 24 hours a day by default.

The storage mode supports "Motion Detection Recording" and "Continuous Recording" (supported by some models). You can click "Replay" to view the related videos.

3. Cloud Storage

If you have subscribed to cloud storage, after adding a camera to the plan and turning on cloud storage, you can set the recording time period of the camera in "Schedule", and it supports setting up to two working time strategies. If you don't set it, the camera will automatically record 24/7 by default.

If you subscribe to the Basic Plus plan, the storage mode is continuous recording. The battery camera will still perform motion detection under this plan.
