This article will show you how to view continuous recordings on the Tapo app.

Note:

  1. A microSD card is needed for continuous recording. Insert the microSD card and initiate it using the Tapo app.
  2. The camera models without a microSD card slot do not have this feature.
  3. The battery-powered cameras (such as Tapo C420, C400, D230, etc.) do not support the continuous recording feature.

For Tapo Cameras

Here we take Tapo C200 as an example.

Step 1.

  • Click on your camera model card to go to the Live View page.
  • Click on the icon at the top right corner of the Live View page to go to the Device Settings page.
  • Tap Storage & Recording and then ensure the microSD Card Recording feature is enabled.

Tap Edit on the Recording Schedule page if you want to change the Continuous Recording and Detection Recording schedule.
