Question 1

If i have an sd card added and the wi-fi goes out, does it continue recording into the sd card or would it stop working until the wi-fi comes back on?

Accepted Answer

Do not listen to Aloysius Parker, he is 100% wrong. I have multiple Kasa products, including this one, and you can absolutely save anything you want from your SD card without the need to pull the card out of the camera or pay for service. The only time you cannot do it is when you don't have acces to the camera due to Wi-Fi being down ( which makes sense and in this case yes, you would have to pull the card out and insert it into a card reader to access the recordings ) but, like the Manufacturer said below, the camera will continue to record onto the SD card with or without the Wi-Fi being connected.

Question 2

Video stored on the cloud won't play back. every time i try to view a stored video a message says "something went wrong. wait a moment and try again"?

Accepted Answer

I battled it out for over a month with Kasa support last year over a similar issue. Long story short, the cloud storage is, at least they act like, completely out of their hands. They use Amazon for their cloud services. They were unwilling to engage Amazon to assist resolve my issue.

That all said... Besides that one major issue, and they almost lost me over it, Kasa has been a fantastic brand. Thankfully I have not needed their support more than once or twice. Once they were fantastic. The second time, see above, was the worst customer service I have ever received and I felt like I was being deliberately toyed with. Honestly, had I not already had some many Kasa devices, I would have left them.

Question 3

Hoe long (in feet) is the power cable and what connecters are being used?

Accepted Answer

It is a physically connected 10-foot cord with a USB-A connector.  A 2-prong U.S.-based power block, like what you would find with a cellular phone is also provided.

Question 4

I'll need to use a longer power cord. will any usb-type a power cord suffice ?

Accepted Answer

This cord is not detachable. To extend it, you'd need to buy a separate USB-A Male-to-Female extender.
