A warm welcome here in the Roku community, @Kkabe17!
We appreciate you reaching out for support. We'd be more than happy to further assist you with this.
Firstly, you can manually record your live events through your phone even without a subscription. You just have to disable the motion detection so it won't auto-record events. Kindly visit this Support article on How to Disable motion detection to help you.
Let us know how it goes! Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Carly
