A: I do not believe it constant records, only when there is movement detected will it record but you can adjust the sensitivity of the motion to where it’s very minimal movement to trigger a recording.
Q: can you connect to multiple phones, or can one phone be connected?
A: Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can log into the app on multiple devices, however, your Base Station is registered to the first account that set it up, so make sure you are all logging into the app using the same email and password to get in. If you still need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to customer service at [email protected] or 844-334-5330 so that we can best help. Thank you!
