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.
