Indoor camera not recording when motion is detected

Hello everyone! I have an indoor camera & when I first purchased it a few months ago it would automatically record whenever it detected motion, but now it just snaps a picture. I’ve tried deleting the app, restarting the camera & it still won’t record. I even went on the settings on the camera itself on the app & made sure the event recordings are on & still nothing. Any advice??

      It was fixed it for about a week, I work night shift so I rely on these cameras to keep an eye n my house. It says they’re video clips but when I click on it, it’s a picture. I bought my cameras as a 2 pack from Walmart and they used to be the exact same software. But now only one does color night vision and everything. They’re both the CSX1000 if you look at the sticker on the actual camera , but if you go into “device info “ in the smartphone settings they’re different

      I reset the camera, deleted the camera on the app, deleted the app then reinstalled it & it’s still not recording when motion is detected
