4K Clarity Indoor Pan Tilt Security Wi-Fi Cam, Enhanced Night Vision, Tapo C260

Tapo wired-powered cameras support continuous recording when an SD card is inserted. If the SD card reaches full capacity, enabling loop recording ensures that the oldest footage is automatically overwritten with new recordings. Users can also schedule continuous recording by selecting specific dates and times. However, if you use Tapo Cloud Storage, only motion-detected recordings are available, as continuous recording is not supported on the cloud. For extended storage, a larger microSD card (256GB or 512GB) is recommended
