Hi guys,

 

I have recently installed some Tapo cameras for indoor and outdoor use.

 

The recording on the Tapo app is working good for me. I am getting continuous recording and any movement is highlighted in orange in the time bar.

 

In the recording schedule, I have it as continuous recording, but then have motion detection turned on.

 

I've attached screen shots below if you guys want to try it yourselves.

 

 

I do have a couple issues/suggestions that TP-Link should definitely consider.

 

- The above only works with Away Mode. I can have the same settings in Home mode, but when I switch between the two modes, the configurations reset and Home mode reverts back to continuous recording without highlights. The activity zones also reset if I switch between modes which sucks. 

 

- In the Playback section, my outdoor cameras (C310 cameras) have a thumbnail when motion is detected and you can select the thumbnail to view the motion footage. The indoor cameras (C200 cameras) only have the orange bars on the time line so can take some time to toggle to the very start of the motion recording. 

 

- TP-Link should enable multiple settings in the app as would be handy to have a few ready to go according to circumstances.
