Cloud storage will record, (motion) will record all movement regardless of length… if there is movement it keeps recording
If you have an SD card in the camera it will record with movement or if you choose to, it will record continuously all the time. This is stored on the sd card in the camera, not on your phone, but it is accessed on the app in your phone.
Of someone steals the camera the video on sd card is gone toom but you will still have cloud footage
