RECORDING TAPO

I bought a TAPO C500 and after I put it into operation I have some questions.
Has the ability to record continuously with any application on the pc? I start recording with the application on my mobile and when I leave the house it stops.
How much does the app tapo care cost and does it have limited space?
Can i set it to do patrol at specific times?
