A:Answer Hi! If you are inquiring specifically about whether a subscription is required for clip-based recordings that are exclusively triggered by motion/sound, and are stored in the cloud - then yes, a Kasa Care subscription is required. For this feature selection, parameters for how long to record after motion stops can be customized via the Kasa app.
However, a subscription is not required for local storage via 24/7 rolling recording with a Micro SD card (not included). The local storage, 24/7 recording option will still notate motion or activity events in the recording timeline, which can be conveniently viewed via the Kasa app.
