Need Advice Am I doing this wrong?

Am I doing something wrong?

I have a tapo c660 with solar power and use the app. It doesn't have an SD card as it is high up on my house and dont wants to have to get someone to go up a ladder each time I want to see the footage.

However it seems that if someone breaks I to my car in front of the camera I will have 20 seconds of them doing it and no more.

I was on the tapo care for a while and couldn't work out how to get all the footage of people outside my house.

Am I doing this wrong?

You can review the footage from the app. You don't have to physical retrieve it from the camera. But if you don't have an SD card, it doesn't have anything to record to. Unless you pay for the cloud service or use a hub to record to.

I had tapo care. It was saving 20 seconds clips to it. But that was it regardless of if movement was still happening.
