Thanks for beta testing Ulticam!

Can I ask if you set it up as cloud storage or local storage?

I changed it to local storage, and all the previous captures now show as video.

However, now motion detection will not stay enabled. It’s capturing nothing. Every time i check the settings the motion detection is disabled.
