Question about YI 1080p Dome Camera

The manual cannot be downloaded from the Yi website at the moment and what else I can find is very limited in terms of content, especially concerning the software. So I hope someone can help me. My aim would be to film an area statically (without camera movement) with the cam. It is sufficient to record onto an SD card. Ideally, recordings should only start when movements are registered, but preferably retroactively a few seconds before. The oldest recordings should be deleted when the SD card is full. However, I may also just record continuously if that is more suitable. I am interested in being able to record acts of vandalism on my forecourt. The following questions arise from this: - Can I define that the recording starts a few seconds before the event? - How long does the recording last due to a movement? Can I define this myself? - If I record permanently (without interruption), can the cam also delete the old sequences when the SD card is full? (If this is a continuous film, perhaps an old sequence cannot simply be deleted). - If I have recorded permanently (without interruption), can I then usefully search quickly in the app for an event that has occurred at some point, e.g. within the last 24 hours? Do I perhaps even have markers of motion events in a timeline, although I have of course only recorded permanently? - Can the motion detection be switched on independently of the motion tracking? I would like the cam to always film the same section statically, but still start recording when there is movement.

The camera is good ... for the little money it costs. ... but that's about it.
The user manual on the net is poor / and the software is even more sparse. Not even the digital zoom that is touted as a selling point is available.
The software seems to me that someone had some great features in mind, but was then happy to get something running. Mature is different.
Nothing works without the internet - and whether the thing records cleanly on an SD card ... I don't know, but it certainly didn't work for me.
For the features that are requested, you have to spend a little more money.
The camera is actually only good for remote access via the internet and to turn the camera head around a little... this works very well, the picture is also ok - the part just has a decent data throughput. 1 week sales stand á14 hours per day ... a whopping 5.5 GB of streaming data.
