It would be nice if they recorded like arlo does. The Arlos record 3 seconds before the Motion so you actually see what triggered the event. I wish I would have known before the purchase, I would have spent the money on the Arlos, they also have a solar panel to keep the cameras charged. This process of returning the cameras for a refund is crazy. I should have checked to see how to contact support before purchase, if you can't talk to someone in person on the phone, then stay away. I would not have purchased had I known the only means of communication is by email.
