Re: Cameras events recording are not playing only pictures
I’m having a similar issue. My camera is only taking pictures not recording motion. It would record anytime somebody walked by my front door and now it’s only taking blurry photos

Re: Doorbell won't record video, only images
Yes, so support ended up emailing me a long time ago. They directed me to log into my account and at some point I was prompted to connect the doorbell to my account. It doesn’t automatically connect after the trial period. I wish I could remember more detail to share, but good luck!
