I signed up for Tapo Care to monitor one small area in one room (this is for cats).  I set it to motion detection,  specified the area, and I got tons of 16-20 sec clips instead of one (or several) longer videos.

I thought I would avoid that if I used a micro SD card, so I set that up.  I did not choose motion detection, because I want to record that particular area, whether there is motion or not - as long as the SD card will hold.  When I chose continuous recording instead of motion detection, nothing recorded on the SD card.

What am I doing wrong - or is there is there no way to for this camera to record continuously without getting a bunch of small clips?
