I would like to take a picture every day at the same time, to follow progress on a construction site. I find settings for triggering an action at a given time, but I cannot find "take a picture" on the list of possible actions.

Hi,
Currently, Tapo cameras do not support the feature to take a picture every day at the same time. In your usage scenario, do you want the camera to send the picture to you via email, stored on the inserted SD card, or others?
Do you have an SD card inserted into the camera/hub?
Best Regards

I have an SD card. Saving to the card would be perfect. Sending would also be OK.

Hello, 
Thank you very much for your detailed information. I'll log the feature request and forward it to the relevant team for evaluation.
I'll move this conversation into the "Feature Request (Tapo)" area for better visibility, and if other users have the same request, please vote on this thread and leave the detailed usage scenario.
Best Regards

Full support of this feature. Ideally the function would allow you to set a starting time and the number of seconds, minutes, hours or days until the next picture is taken, plus the option of pre-set number of pictures or unlimited. Finally, would be great if the picture's filename could be specified through a prefix, [eg: "Timelapse_garden] followed by the timestamp, so I could easily identify and group this and transfer in right order to my timelapse software. Thanks a lot!!!
