Camera saves in 256mo sequences instead of whole video

Model: Tapo C210

Hello community,

We're using the tapo camera c_210 and would like to register whole sequences on the micro sd card but instead it saves automatically 256mo videos so I always have one registration session in multiple videos. I didn't find anything to change the registration fonction. We already changed the micro sd cart but it didn't change anything. What can I do ?

Thanks for your help

I'm from France, hope I'm clear enough.

Hi,
If you want the camera to record detection video clips rather than continuous video recordings, please go to the camera's Device Settings > Storage & Recording > Recording Schedule page to change the record settings.

Hope the below instructions will be helpful.
Where can I find detection recordings of Tapo cameras on the Tapo app?

If you have other problems, please describe them in detail so I can better help you.

Best Regards

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in my reply.

I don't find the solution in Device Settings > Storage & Recording > Recording Schedule.

I can choose there detection video or continuous video, but nothing else.

Whatever the option I choose, the video recorded always weigh 256 Mo.

I want to registrer continuous 3h video in the same file or in two files (each of the two lasting 1h30).

But the files always weigh 256 Mo (the videos sometimes last 1h, sometimes less, sometimes more). Most of the time the video file contains excerpts frome the day before and the same day.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english,

Best Regards,

Jo87
