Model: Tapo C425  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.9

Are there any plans to introduce a feature that allows the C425 camera to start recording when the T100 sensor detects motion?
Given that the camera's sensor is relatively weak and positioned only 2.5 meters above the ground, this integration would significantly enhance its monitoring capabilities. Additionally, increasing the sensitivity of the camera doesn’t yield substantial improvements and tends to drain the battery quickly.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!

That's a great suggestion! Integrating the T100 sensor with the Tapo C425 to start recording upon motion detection would indeed enhance its functionality significantly, especially given the limitations of the camera's built-in sensor. This kind of smart action could provide a more efficient monitoring solution without relying solely on the camera's sensitivity.

It would be helpful for others to voice their support for this feature as well, so hopefully, the team will consider it for future updates. Thank you for bringing this enhancement idea forward!

Yes please make this work. I am looking in to the C425 camera, and the bad reveiws on motion activation is holding me back. Or is it already working. Looking at the H200 homepage it says that you can link your smart cameras and sensors, and C425 is on the supported list for cameras???

The cameras just need to be able to trigger recording from automation. Therefore the are a number of triggers which can be used, i.e a movement sensor or even from other cameras or doorbell in different locations.
