The camera supports two primary recording modes:
- Triggered Recording: Records short clips when motion is detected.
- 24/7 Recording: Continuous recording. For this mode, it is recommended to keep the camera connected to a power source via the Type-C cable.
Recorded footage can be stored in two ways:
- Micro SD Card: Insert a Micro SD card (up to 128GB, not included) into the camera's slot. Footage is stored locally.
