Hey all, I’m looking for a doorbell camera with continuous recording. Would prefer it not need a subscription but I guess that depends on what’s available. Any suggestions?

    I’m curious about the use case: why do you want continuous video?

    I never wanted cameras because I can’t imagine being able to search or view continuous video: motion detection is a fantastic solution so you have a manageable number of events clearly defined.

    My video doorbell does need a subscription so probably not want you want, but in addition to the motion events, you can configure it to save a snapshot at regular intervals. I used it to effectively high speed flipbook though the day, watching the clouds race by and the sun move across the sky … then turned it off

      I don’t live in a great neighborhood and had the chance to catch a crime on video if it recorded continuously. I have a full security set up around the house but nothing catches the whole street but the doorbell camera. It’s cheaper for me to get one that does record continuously then to upgrade my NVR and get another camera.
