Hello! Under Home Mode there is a "Disable Viewing and Recording" option, but I would also like to see the option to allow viewing, but NOT recording. This comes in handy when I'm home, in the basement, but want to quickly check on my pup or something else. I don't really need to record, but I would like to see whatever may be happening. Am I overlooking a way to set this up or thinking about it the wrong way?  Otherwise, I LOVE the product and couldn't be happier. This is exactly what I'd been searching after for many months and I think I just stumbled across a post on Facebook and could not believe it!  I'm currently running 11 Wyze cameras (V2/Pan) and one Nest camera. 

Thank you!

You're right that there's currently no way to do what you'd like. 

No promises for now, but if we add this feature at some point and you have Camect configured to allow live viewing but not recording, how would you expect Camect to behave? Would you expect it to continuously fetch data from the camera but simply not record it (allowing you to see the live view as soon as you connect because the connection is already up and running), or would you expect it not t contact your camera at all, and to initiate the connection when you connect to the UI? (That would cause a delay before you see any video.)

I'd like this as well. I have inside cameras that I'd like to view but not record while I'm at home.  I would like to record when I'm away and view.

I'd also like to have different "sleep" schedules for them, so "At Home" but "Sleeping" won't really work well.
