Question about TP-Link Tapo C100 Home Security

Hi everyone, I am thinking of mounting the camera in the basement. But I don't have internet or wifi there. The aim would be for the camera to only record and then save to SD when motion is detected. Questions: Does the camera record permanently and does the camera also record without WLan or Internet, just to the SD card? If that doesn't work, maybe you have a product tip for me :-).
