Model: Tapo C420S2  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.11

Good afternoon, I'm trying to put a Privacy Zone at the top, left hand corner of the screen, but when I do, it blanks out the Date and Time, which is a bit pointless.

 

Is there a way to either move the date and time, or have them dispayed over the top of the Privacy Zone?

 

Thank youj

Hi,
After you configured the privacy zone, please go to the Camera Settings page of the Tapo C420>Advanced Settings>On-screen Display Settings>Disable Display Time Stamp and then enable it again, and then on the camera's Live View page, you can see the date and time show up at the top left corner.
