Continuous recording capability

The S4 Max is designed for continuous 24 7 multi channel recording, capturing footage from all connected cameras without gaps so owners can review what happened at any time of day.

Reviewers appreciate that unlike many motion only floodlight cams, the E340 can record continuously when storage allows, so mains powered installs can keep a rolling 24/7 history instead of just short motion clips.

Reviewers highlight the Altas PT Ultra’s standout ability to offer continuous recording from a battery-powered camera, using low frame rates to preserve power and storage while still capturing full-time coverage of what happens in view.

On this battery-powered 4K model the 24 7 mode uses a very low 1fps background stream that ramps back up to 15 or 20fps when motion is detected, so it effectively monitors all the time without exhausting the battery, but you still cannot scrub a smooth, fully continuous high-frame-rate timeline like on some wired Tapo cameras and one reviewer sees this as a drawback when trying to help police pin down exact times for vehicles or people passing that the AI did not flag.

As a battery-powered solar system, the S330 relies on motion-triggered clips instead of full 24/7 recording, which conserves power but can miss a few seconds at the start of an event.

As a battery powered solar cam, the S340 focuses on motion triggered clips and does not support full-time loop recording, trading continuous coverage for battery life.

Reviews point out that the Argus 4 Pro relies on motion triggered clips and optional timelapse modes rather than offering true 24 by 7 continuous recording, and this article underlines that limitation by noting the lack of nonstop capture even when using FTP, which can disappoint power users who expected a full time archive from such advanced storage support.
