Can someone tell me why 12 second video clips are being saved to my Android 7.0 phone in the “video” folder? I thought they were saved to the cloud. Is there a configuration setting that can stop this? Thanks

The SD card is not for the alert notifications, it is for the “Record on event” or “Continuous recording” that is controlled in the app for each camera under “Advanced Settings”.

I need the sound and tracking so turning them off isn’t an option. It’s a big inconvenience. It would be nice to just save vid…

I agree. Coming from iOS, where it doesn’t do this, this is kind of annoying. Why does it have to download on android but can stream it on iPhone? Doesn’t make sense…
