authentication”. However, you will need to change
the security settings in your Gmail account to allow
“less secure app access” to do this.
If you want email notifications, we recommend you
set up a new Gmail account specifically for cameras.

Go to Settings then
Recording Schedule.
Choose a desired max
length ie. 600 sec (10min).
Enable record, pick a
stream and a schedule.
Tap “Apply”.
Memory and Video Setting Considerations
If Scheduled recording overlaps motion recording,
when motion is detected scheduled recording stops
and alarm recording starts. Then scheduled
recording resumes when motion ends.
This is the best way to catch all motion. However, it
fills your memory card faster.
To use less memory, adjust the video settings for the
stream you record.
Start with reducing the frame rate. Then try reducing
the Bit rate.
Also, remember to change video setting to 60Hz.
