C200 Continous Recording download
Hi,
today I received the Tapo C200. I was looking for a while now for a camera that can record continously while also allowing the download of these recordings. I now have the following problem.
When I open the app and set quality to HQ, then close the app and open again, quality is set to LQ. I do not understand why the cam depends on the connection to the app. I simply want it to continously record on the sd card in HQ. The next problem I have is, that I seem to only be capable to watch the continous recording in the app. The storage tab is empty. If I record 24 hours, how can I downlaod this file. Can I maybe get it of the sd card? I know that when I hit record that these videos are on storage and I can download then. But I want the camera to completely independently from any app or phone to record 24/7 and then whenever I want to connect my phone and download this continuous recording or copy it of the sd card. Please tell me that this is possible. I have tried multiple cameras and NONE so far offers this super simple functionality. Either the files are encrypted, or downlaod does not work, or cloud connection is required, I am really tires of trying cameras.
For background, I want to film myself while sleeping, to see analyse sleep patterns and movement. I do not want to always get out my phone, hit record and than leave open the app. The cam should run 24/7 and simply allow me to download what I want when I want.
Thank you in advance for your support. I really hope I just did something wrong.
