Hi,
If you store the camera video recordings to the inserted SD card, on the Tapo app > camera's Device Settings > Storage & Recording > Recording Schedule page, you can set the No Recording, Detection Recording, and Continuous Recording time.
However, if the camera enjoys the Tapo Care service, it will upload the detection video clips to our cloud server all day when detecting events.

@Solla-topee are you saying that you cannot schedule when the camera records if you use tapo care cloud recording service? Meaning if I don't want it to record at all during certain times of day I would need to manually turn off recording on that camera and then turn it back on manually again?

Hi,
For Tapo Camera, as long as it has detection features enabled (such as motion detection, person detection, etc.) and subscribed to Tapo Care, the camera will record relevant detection video clips and save them to our cloud server after detecting events.
There is no feature to schedule the camera records if you use the Tapo Care service, there is also no feature to manually turn off/on the camera records.
However, if you turn off the camera's detection function or turn on privacy mode, the camera cannot detect events then, and it won't save any video clips to our cloud server.
Best Regards
