If you want the camera to record continuously to the SD card instead of recording when an alarm event triggers the camera, you need to enable camera recording and set up a timer recording schedule for your camera.
Applies to: Reolink cameras except for battery-powered cameras and the camera with Hw_3816.
Below are steps to set up continuous recording both via Reolink App and Reolink Client. Before setting up, make sure you have inserted a micro SD card into your camera.
On Reolink App:
Step 1. Navigate to Camera Recording Settings.
Launch Reolink App and log in to your camera. Go to the Camera Settings > Camera Recording page.
Step 2. Enable Camera Recording and tap Continuous Recording Schedule.
On the schedule page, tap the button in the bottom-left corner (Paint/Delete), then swipe over the time slots you want to schedule. When you're finished, tap Save to apply the settings.
On Reolink Client:
Step 1. Turn on the camera recording option.
Launch Reolink Client and log in to your camera. Go to Device Settings > Surveillance > Record page. Turn on the Schedule button to enable camera recording.
Step 2. Select Timer under the Schedule.
- Click Enable/Disable icon and then click on the grid (each one stands for an hour) to enable/disable non-stop recording on that hour. The blue grid means the continuous recording is enabled on that hour, while grey means disabled.
- You can also click Enable All/Disable All on the right side.
- Click Save if you have finished the timer schedule setting.
