Hello,

 

I have KC400 camera to record and playback motion it requires subscription, my question is do all Kasa cameras require subscription to record motion and playback?

 

Thank you.

  @Aravot  the KC400 has a microSD card slot and supports Local Storage, you can insert an SD card into it to store video recordings rather than subscribe to the Kasa Care.

  @Summer_S thank you for the reply.

I do have microSD card inserted but it doesn't record motion only 24/7 recording.

 

There is a message in the app "Please subscribe to a Kasa Care plan to save activity detection records."

My question was if all Kasa cameras require subscription to record motions?

This will determine if I should purchase Kasa camera or Eufy camera which it seems doesn't require subscription to records events.

  @Aravot "My question was if all Kasa cameras require subscription to record motions?"-- I don't think so, you can enable the motion detection feature without subscribe to the Kasa Care, and the 24/7 Recording can display the detection video clips with different colors.

  @Summer_S Thank you.

 

I enabled the 24/7 recording and indeed in the playback timeline it shows recorded events in different color.

However I wished the camera could only record events so it would not fill i the microSD card.
