Sorry for the typos and I should have said also that you were correct in your explanation. But I have to say that trying to review hours of video that was not captured with motion detection can be extremely tedious.
One time someone broke into our car which was in view of the ring on our front door, but we had a better view from a couple of our Wyze Cams. Even though I knew the exact time that the incident happened from the Ring camera it was still a pain to find the video on the Wyze Cams. And of course, when I gave the police the video that I edited from 3 different cameras... they had basically zero interest anyway.
Those Wyze cams are not to be trusted. Phone home to chicom servers. You can find open source firmware for them that can be installed to eliminate that problem.
