Continuous recording capability

Supports 24/7 recording to microSD (in addition to motion events), which is a key advantage of being hardwired.

Continuous recording is supported and is a key benefit versus battery Wi-Fi cameras. Reviews caution that 24/7 recording with multiple streams can consume the included storage quickly, making drive upgrades or event-only mode important planning levers.

Continuous 24/7 recording to microSD is repeatedly mentioned as supported, and reviewers recommend using a larger card because two lenses can fill storage faster.

Continuous recording on a battery camera is repeatedly called the headline feature, with flexible scheduling and a motion-trigger boost in frame rate. Reviewers also note power draw is substantial and playback may be organized in longer blocks that are less convenient to skim.

As a wired camera, the E340 is repeatedly described as capable of 24/7 continuous recording or continuous loop recording when paired with microSD or HomeBase storage.

Continuous recording is possible in wired/direct-power mode (and often needs expanded storage); early reviews note it arrived via firmware and is not the default for battery/solar use.

Continuous recording is not a default battery feature; reviews describe it as available when the camera is hardwired and paired with higher-tier subscriptions, otherwise recording is event-based.

Continuous/24-7 recording is not a universal 'turn it on and forget it' feature; many reviewers point to RTSP/NAS/NVR as the practical path to true continuous recording, with some noting subscription-based options.

The C660 commonly offers a 24/7 capture mode that is snapshot or time-lapse style rather than full-frame continuous video; some like the added context, while others want true continuous recording and scrubbing.

Most reviews characterize the cameras as motion-triggered rather than true 24/7 recorders, and several explicitly call out the lack of continuous recording as a limitation.

Reviews consistently state this camera does not offer true 24/7 continuous recording, focusing instead on motion-triggered clips to conserve power.

Most reviews emphasize this is a motion-clip camera rather than a true 24/7 recorder, which is a dealbreaker for some security-first buyers. Several reviewers recommend using schedules to balance coverage and battery, and a few explicitly wished for continuous recording.
