Camera keeps recording when you want it to stop
Your camera can be set to record only during specific hours. Go to the camera settings in your app and look for Recording Schedule or Activity Recording. Turn off the hours you don't want it recording — like daytime when you're home or nighttime when you're asleep.
Cameras record 24/7 by default, which uses storage and drains your battery if it's wireless. You can tell your camera to stop recording during specific hours — when you're home, at night, or while you're away on holiday. Each camera brand has a different way to set this up, but the idea is the same: you pick which hours you want recording on.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Creating a schedule but forgetting to tap the Enable or Save button — the schedule won't work until you do
- Setting the schedule backwards — putting 6am as start time and 9pm as end time records all day when you meant the opposite
- Creating multiple schedules and getting confused about which one is active
Signs you need professional help
- You've set up a schedule correctly but the camera ignores it and records all the time
- The app crashes when you try to create a recording schedule
- Multiple cameras should follow the same schedule but only one is working
