Saving and Deleting Recordings

rule for recordings, footage of those recordings will be
automatically saved onto the cloud for the predetermined
time, depending on which plan the camera has.
If you have inserted your own micro-SD card and set up a
rule for recordings, footage of those recordings will be
saved on the micro-SD card until the storage becomes full
and loops back over to record over your previous
recordings.
However, if you’d like to save your cloud or micro-SD card
recordings to your mobile device’s local storage, you can
do so while you’re viewing the specific recording. Press
the ‘save’ button at the bottom right corner to save a copy
of the footage onto your mobile device’s local storage.
You may also delete the recording permanently off your
cloud storage or micro-SD card swiping left on the
recording on the activity list page.

Under the Menu tab, you will find My Devices. Here you
can change your device’s name, check on the device’s

detection levels.

detector and sound detector to your liking.
