Idea for a future feature - Save video on smartphone after motion alert
Hello. I bought a Tapo C210, and I was surprised, how good this camera is compared to the low price, and how good and error free the Android Smartphone App is working.
Very good quality and functions, great camera!
I'm not sure if the forum is only for problem reports, or if you guys also take ideas and requests for new features.
Because: Imagine the situation, that a burglar or intruder sees the camera and destroys or takes it away. Then the SD card and all recordings are gone. As far as I know, no Save-to-Cloud feature is planned for the Tapo C210. But how about the idea, to program a additional function in the app, that the app itself saves a 30 or 60 seconds video clip directly on the smartphone after a motion detection occures, instead that this is only saved to the SD card in the camera? I mean permanent recording to the smartphone would make no sense, due to data transfer and possibly low memory capacity on the smartphone. But if the camera already can send a "motion alert" notification to the smartphone app, it could also send a 30 or 60 seconds video clip. Or for people with low internet / phone bandwith, alternative for example 10 or 20 pictures / fotos, every second one after the motion occured?
Due to the already now existing possibility to save recordings on the smartphone with the app, it should be also possible to include a feature, that the app itself saves 30 or 60 seconds video clips after a motion alert occured? Certainly with the option, that the user can turn on and turn of this feature.
Then users would have 30 or 60 seconds "evidence" saved on the smartphone, even if an intruder possibly destroys or steal the camera.
What do you think? Or did I miss, that already such a feature exists? Or does it exist with other TP-Link cameras (without having to save to the cloud).
Thank you and Best Regards,
