schedule recording time or sensor camera

SHB-25 — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 07:08:19 GMT

Hi,

I need a security camera to allow me to schedule recordings at a certain time and stop it from recoding via my phone.

It should be able to record video and audio.

I want its battery to last long enough so it does not require every day charging.

And I want to be able to transfer its recordings via WIFI or bluetooth to my laptop or my tablet.

Can you help me with a model? Thanks

Any of the current models (and the old ones, too) will work for your needs. Most can also allow you to speak through the camera, too, if that's useful. Recordings are sent to the cloud, not your phone, so you would use the app or a web browser to access the videos. You can also manually download them to your devices.

Battery life is subject to connection problems as well as the amount of recordings and live viewings per day. Heavy usage may require the addition of a solar panel or outdoor AC power supply to prevent the battery from discharging too quickly.

I agree with @jguerdat , but want to point out that scheduled recordings are limited to 2 minutes.
