Security camera recording length
Should be easy. I have Ring Protect Pro and Ring Floodlight Outdoor Security cameras - 1st and 2nd Gen . I want to leave my cameras on 'Record' for as long as possible. I found aticles sayig the longest cameras will say on is 120 seconds, some saying 10 minutes, some with 'tricks to record 24/7 (with settings I don't see in my Ring app). This AM Ring support by phone said I CAN record for continuous 24 hrs and recordings are stored for 180 days. Which of these is accurate? How do get continuous/recorded view and what's the longest my cameras can record?

Hi @requiredusername. Our Ring Cameras do not record continuously; they will only record if activated by motion or live view. If a motion is not answered by you, it will record for the amount of time you have set for your [Recording Length](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001858043-Adjusting-Video-Recording-Lengths-for-Your-Video-Doorbell-or-Security-Camera), which can be up to 120 seconds. If Advanced Motion Detection is on, recordings may end early if the motion stops. If you answer an event, like a motion, you can keep the Live View open for 10 minutes max. As for how long the videos store in your app, it depends on what you have set for your [Video Storage Time](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047871752-Understanding-and-Adjusting-Your-Video-Storage-Time-). I hope this helps.
