Hi,

I recently moved from a C320WS V1 Hardware to a C325WB. The main use is to protect my home from intruders but I also wanted the ability to get notified when pets pass by.
I want to be notified when my cat is back from his walk so I can open him the door. Additionally, I want to monitor stray cats wandering in the neighborhood, this has proven to be very helpful as one of the stray cat turned out to be a cat which went missing 3 month ago in a village 15km away.
However, for the purpose of security monitoring the C325 just s*ck.... The lack of IR makes it useless at night. Part of my backyard gets light from the street lamp and part is in the dark. The camera misses all detection in the dark part: movement or pet. HDR does not help. Before you ask, no I do not want to turn the projector on as this would reveal the camera to intruders.
This is why I bought a C320WS V2 only to discover that it lacks the pet detection.... Is pet detection something that will be added to the C320WS? I am currently contemplating getting rid of all my 4 Tapo Cameras and replace them with Reolink which all have pet detection....

Hi,
Currently, the Tapo C320WS does not support Pet Detection. I'll log the feature request and forward it to the related team for evaluation, but I don't have any specific details that I can share about whether this feature can come to the product or when it might.

 

From your description, it seems the Tapo C320WS and Tapo C325WB can't meet your usage scenario, and we have the Tapo C520WS that may suit you. If you just purchased the Tapo C325WB, you can contact your retailer to check if you can return the camera and buy a new one.
 

Best Regards
