It seems it is possible to have Home Mode activated so with Privacy off so Live View can be viewed.

 

B UT, I would like like to recieve notifications when someone comes onto my property when I am home, but wopuld like to have recording OFF. NOT concerned with recording (family) when I am home, but would like to be notified when someone enters the property.

 

All firmware is up to date as of this posting, and I am on latedt version of Android on Galaxy S25U

 

On Camera tab, I have tapped on the 3 dots of Home Mode, and turned on the detections and notifications I want. But I get no notifications.

 

When I look in camera settings, it shows Detection as Off. I assume that is because of home mode? When I turn it on here, I get recordings I do not want. 

 

In summary, I would like to be at Home in Home Mode, view live view, and receive notifications of detections, but NO recroding to take place. Is this possible?

SD card recording cannot be controlled through Home/Away mode. You can adjust the recording schedule in camera settings: Device Settings > Storage & Recording > enable MicroSD Card Recording, then adjust the Recording Schedule.

 

After adjusting the Home/Away mode settings, you need to click on either mode to activate it. Otherwise, the camera will remain in its previous state.
