Hi,
The length of a detection video clip is different for a Tapo camera that is powered by a power adapter when storing the video to the SD card and cloud server. 
    1. If the detection video clip is stored on a microSD card, the camera will record when there is an event trigger within the detection zone, and the recording will continue for 1 minute after the detection activity has ended. The maximum length of a detection video clip is 3 minutes.
    2. If the detection video clip is stored on the Tapo Care cloud server, the maximum length of a detection video clip is 3 minutes, and the recording will continue for 10 seconds after the detection activity has ended.

 

On the camera's Live View > Playback & Download > Playback > SD card page, when you watch a video clip, you can tap the "Speed" button on the video's top right corner and then scroll down the speed option and select a faster view speed, such as 2x, 4x, etc. to quickly watch the video clip.

 

Best Regards
