Quoting: paulz Hey Darz, how you doing?
I am hanging in there. Thank you for asking.
Not sure about the cam. I leave mine on 24 hr record. Maybe I will go to the tf settings and try hitting no record, and see what happens. Maybe you can ask at the " help center".
In your pick above... I've never seen the privacy zone thing. Wonder if it's only on the new cam?

That activity zone is at the bottom of the monitoring page. But I currently have mine All blocked and it’s still writing!

I can’t read that help section, tiny writing that doesn’t zoom in. Anyway think I discovered something. If I have it set to 24 hr recording like you do it writes to the card every 5 minutes no matter what. I changed it to Motion detection video records and it only recorded when the dog or me go out (even though still set to human).

I tried turning off the record function.
Still records. Interesting.

I’ve about given up on the motion detection/TF card function. Even with it set to human detection, lowest sensitivity and motion detection recording or 24 hr it still puts 10 records on the card an hour with nothing going on other than sunlight moving around or trees blowing. Bugs fly by a bit.
Too bad because catching events is one of the main reasons to have it. Being able to watch the place live while away is cool though. Maybe if it were looking just inside a room the motion would work..

I use the text alert if I am going somewhere or at night. That way I can tell when/if something happens. It will give you a time frame to look at

I don’t use any notification, just look at/reformat the card. If I had text I would get 10 an hour.
On another subject, I have about 100’ of regular ac indoor extension cord wire (16 gauge stranded copper maybe) going from the cabin usb to the camera outside on a tree. Seems to power it perfectly. Long way for 5v.

Hey Darz, how you doing? Haven’t touched my camera in awhile, still in the same spot with great view of the cabin. I did though spend some time trimming branches for a view of the yard down below. Here you can the pickup, it’s maybe 300’ as way down the hill. Not the greatest but at least I can see if a pal is coming over.

Hey Paul, I am hanging in there, taking it one day at a time. Thanks for checking on me. The isolation is the hardest part, but the offspring have been coming around as often as they can, which helps. 
Glad to see your camera is doing what you need
I still don't have any complaints really.
I have been keeping up with the forum daily, just not had a lot to add.
Glad everyone seems to be doing good.
Every Day's a good day. But some are better than others. Lol

Glad your doing OK Darz. Very tough I'm sure, but hopefully it keeps getting a little better day by day. At least more days than not.
