Hi @Savingryan

 

Have you made sure you have the rules set to record with this camera, or using an armed mode?

 

Have you tried tp reboot the camera by removing & re-inserting the battery?

And do you have at least the trial subscription for the camera?

But do you have the rule under armed mode for recording motion selected on to answer their questions.  Also to get recording to cloud you need a subscription but you should have at least the trial subscription to smart as @jguerdat asked if it is a new camera setup.

Yes i think so. I have recording 7 days on the other cameras. Arlo pro and the Q. But the ultra is not recording. I dont have the option. Only activate the siren.
Have the armed mode as the others.

The Ultra is NOT a legacy camera like the Pro 2/Q/Baby/Pro/Arlo hd...

 

The Ultra does require a paid subscription after the trial period.

Your not inserting any pics. As for the smart subscription what country do you live in? It is not available in some countries to rule that out that. You have the record option in your "Armed" mode then select a camera and it is in the rules for that cam as in the link I posted earlier. It says "record video". You should read the FAQ in this forum for the Ultra.

You should be able to get a sub in Norway. Since you have several issues you should contact support below.
