Hi,
If there is an SD card inserted into the camera to store video recordings, the detection video clips can be stored on the SD card when the camera detects events. However, the image shows an intrusion, and the detection video clips won't be stored on the phone automatically.

If you subscribed to the Tapo Care service, the detection video clips can be stored on our cloud server for up to 7/30 days but won't be stored on the phone automatically. However, if the video clips are within a 7/30 days retention period, they can still be accessed through the Tapo app even if the camera is stolen.

Best Regards
