I start to record and then turn the phone screen off and the camera stops recording. This doesn’t seem right. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

yes you are, but it is a very easy fix. :grinning: :+1: silly things like this have happened to all of us. the cameras record on their own when you go into the settings and enable motion detection and set everything the way you want it. the recording you are doing is not on the camera but instead …

There are three ways/locations to save footage: SD card. In camera settings you can set up event record and continuous record, which both record to your sd card that’s in your camera. Accessed via playback. It records automatically untill you remove the setting. cloud. Also set up in camera s…

Ok, maybe I am understanding it. I will give it another try. Thanks

sorry for the convoluted answer. I think @Omgitstony may have had a clearer explanation.
