Hi there! I'm here to help you with the "No recording" message you're encountering on your Imou device. Let's tackle this step by step and see if we can resolve the issue together.

1. Check Storage: The first thing I suggest is to check if your device has a memory card inserted (if applicable) and whether it has enough space available. Sometimes, if the storage is full, recordings won't save.

2. Recording Settings: It’s also important to ensure that your recording settings are correctly configured. Could you please check:
- If the recording mode is set to "Auto" or "Manual"?
- If there's any specific schedule for recording that might not align with your expectations?

3. App Refresh: Sometimes, simply closing the Imou Life app and reopening it can resolve temporary glitches. Have you tried that yet?

4. Network Connection: Ensure that your camera is properly connected to your Wi-Fi network. A weak or unstable connection can cause recording issues.

5. Firmware Update: Ensuring your device firmware is up to date can also help. Have you checked if there are any updates available for your camera?

Please let me know what you find or if you’ve already tried these steps, and we can explore more in-depth troubleshooting if needed!

How to check for updates for the camera?

To check for updates for your Imou camera, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Imou Life App: Start by launching the app on your device.

2. Select Your Camera: In the app, find and select the specific camera that you would like to update.

3. Navigate to Settings: Look for the settings menu, which is typically represented by a gear icon.

4. Firmware Update Section: Within the settings, you should see a section dedicated to firmware updates. Tap on that.

5. Check for Updates: The app will automatically check if there are any new firmware updates available for your camera. If there is an update, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

If you'd prefer to see a visual guide, there’s a helpful video on YouTube that walks through the firmware update process for Imou cameras, which you can find here 1.

Can I clear the SD card storage selectively?

I understand you're looking to clear the SD card storage selectively on your Imou camera. Unfortunately, the camera's built-in settings primarily allow you to format the entire SD card, which deletes all recordings at once. There isn’t a direct option to delete specific files or recordings through the camera settings or the Imou Life app itself.

However, you can take a couple of approaches to manage your recordings:

1. Use a Computer: If you remove the SD card and insert it into a computer, you can access the files directly. This way, you can delete specific recordings you no longer need. Just ensure you properly eject the SD card from the computer before reinserting it back into the camera.

2. Overwrite Old Recordings: Another method is to allow the camera to automatically overwrite the oldest recordings once the SD card is full. This means you won’t have to manually delete files over time. Just make sure the camera is set to record continuously (if applicable).

For a visual guide on formatting and managing the SD card, you could check this helpful video here 1.

How to let the camera overwrite oldest recordings

To enable your Imou camera to overwrite the oldest recordings when the SD card is full, follow these steps:

1. Open the Imou Life App: Launch the app on your device and log in if necessary.

2. Select Your Camera: From the list of devices, tap on the camera for which you want to change the settings.

3. Go to Settings: Look for the settings icon (usually a gear icon) and click on it.

4. Storage Settings: Within the settings menu, find the section labeled "Storage" or "Recording Settings."

5. Enable Overwrite: Here, you should see an option for "Overwrite" or "Loop Recording." Make sure to enable this feature. This will allow the camera to automatically overwrite the oldest recordings when the SD card reaches its capacity.

6. Save: After making the changes, ensure to save the settings before exiting.
