I'm working on separation anxiey training with my dogs and have to leave my apartment for short periods, and watch them to see how they react.  When training starts, they are in view of living room camera. I need to watch that until they get up and head to other camera view (kitchen) and that one needs to be recorded. I need to send this recording to my trainer. 

 

Kitchen camera has micro sd card installed. If I start manual recording on kitchen camera, then switch view to watch them in living room, the manual recording stops in kitchen camera as soon as I toggle to living room view.  Is there some way to start manual recording and have it continue while I'm watching the other camera? The only way I can see this working is to start manual recording and leave it on kitchen view, but then I can't see their behaviour on living room.  Frustrating!

 

thanks for any hints you can give.

Hi,
Tapo cameras do not support the feature to keep manual recording when watching another camera's live feed. 


In your usage scenario, if the Kitchen camera has an SD card inserted, on the camera's Device Settings > Storage & Recording page, you can set it to record the video continuously. Then you can manually record on the live room camera's live view page, and download the video clips from the Kitchen camera's SD card if needed.


Best Regards
