Hey Darz, how you doing?

I am hanging in there. Thank you for asking.
Not sure about the cam. I leave mine on 24 hr record. Maybe I will go to the tf settings and try hitting no record, and see what happens. Maybe you can ask at the " help center".
In your pick above... I've never seen the privacy zone thing. Wonder if it's only on the new cam?

That activity zone is at the bottom of the monitoring page. But I currently have mine All blocked and it’s still writing!

I can’t read that help section, tiny writing that doesn’t zoom in. Anyway think I discovered something. If I have it set to 24 hr recording like you do it writes to the card every 5 minutes no matter what. I changed it to Motion detection video records and it only recorded when the dog or me go out (even though still set to human).

I tried turning off the record function.
Still records. Interesting.

I’ve about given up on the motion detection/TF card function. Even with it set to human detection, lowest sensitivity and motion detection recording or 24 hr it still puts 10 records on the card an hour with nothing going on other than sunlight moving around or trees blowing. Bugs fly by a bit.

Too bad because catching events is one of the main reasons to have it. Being able to watch the place live while away is cool though. Maybe if it were looking just inside a room the motion would work..

I use the text alert if I am going somewhere or at night. That way I can tell when/if something happens. It will give you a time frame to look at

I don’t use any notification, just look at/reformat the card. If I had text I would get 10 an hour.

On another subject, I have about 100’ of regular ac indoor extension cord wire (16 gauge stranded copper maybe) going from the cabin usb to the camera outside on a tree. Seems to power it perfectly. Long way for 5v.
