I have 2 cams a 120 and 100, both quite new. They have changed after the free premium trial to only having cloud storage from up to 3 hours ago. Why is that please?

 

I'm in the UK

 

The cams each say under kasa care in the app that they have 2 day and 12 hour cloud storage for 2 years and manual recording, but they delete cloud saves older than 3 hours.

 

They say "No activity has been detected in the past 3 hours"

 

Why has it changed to that? One is is brand new and the other is a few months old.

 

Thanks

Hey is the app version 2.22?

 

Try 1 thing for me, give the wifi router a reboot, and let me know if that fixes the issue, i have the same type of issue where after a few hours the camera's stop detecting activity then start detecting activity after a reboot

 

All my issues started after the app update from 2.21 to 2.22

Yes the app version is 2.22.0 build 930.

 

What you say about your issue with motion not being detected is not the problem I am experiencing.

 

My cloud saved are deleted after 3 hours and the app says in the space where cloud saves would be no activity detected in the last 3 hours no matter how long over 3 hours it has been. The actual time elapsed since motion detections still displays correctly on the devices list page.

 

My 120 is only about 4 months old and just added a 100 today. Also have a plug and a bulb since a couple of months ago all kasa.

@TPUser123 

 

So are you able to detect motion when ever the camera is triggered "activity detected less than 1 min ago" but the videos that is older than 3 hours is deleted?

Yes, that's right.

 

I have since noticed they are all still in the alarm bell section, so maybe this is just a change of functionality since the premium beta ended or something.

 

As long as the cloud holds video for 2 days\12 hours for 2 years since activation somewhere in app I don't mind, but they should to be clear about how it works properly and any significant changes to functionality.
