Hi,

 

I've been using this 4 camera set for about 2 weeks now, its been great so far.

One thing I found that might be awesome if its enhanced is that whenever I try to set Away mode when I leave home, to turn on the motion detect and record,

it only overrides the detection/notification setting I have configured for Home mode but still follows the recording schedule.

 

So if I set recording schedule on each individual camera to record on any movement from 7pm to 7am,

Away mode still follows this recording schedule so I still get notifications on Away mode when I'm not home but the recordings are not there if the time is not in between 7pm~7am.

This can be improved by making this Away mode to override/ignore any pre-configured recording schedule and make is just to detect -> record -> notify which sounds more simple.

 

Netgear Arlo App have this option available and its called "Armed" mode which detects, records, send notification and ignore the recording schedule.

Shame that Arlo only have Cloud subscription now.

 

Please consider above enhancement request which would make Tapo Camera much better than the others.

 

Thank you
