A. Yes. By default notifications will be sent to the App for sound and movement detection.  These can be changed in the settings.

A. Yes you can go into settings and turn the camera off.  We recommend this method rather than switching off at the wall to avoid the start-up process.

Q. What are the recording options?

A. Viewing the camera from your mobile is free with the exception of any charges your mobile provider charges for data.  To record images you need to either buy an HD card and insert into the camera or to select the monthly cloud plan from the App.  There is an initial 15 day free period for the cloud service. The subscription service is $6.99USD per month or $69USD per annum.

Q. Can I view multiple cameras from the App.

A. Yes Tuya can support 10+ cameras

Q. How close does the camera have to be to WiFi?

A. The camera needs to be in “WiFi range” which is 40-45 metres however the best and most reliable performance is achieved when the camera is closest to the WiFi router. When connecting the camera for the first time you should be within 1-2 metres of the WiFi router.

Q. What is the recording time of the SD Cards?

Your camera will be set up with "Intelligent tracking" which means it only records when there is sound or video recorded.  You can of course record for the whole time if you wish.
