Tapo App suggestions
Tapo App suggestions
I have been using several Tapo cameras over the last year. These are my suggestions on improving the Tapo app.
- The display of time throughout the app is inconsistant. Some screens it's 24hr time, some its 12hr time. My cameras were recently updated so I have the option of 12 or 24 hr time stamp. The app should follow and allow the selection of what time format is preferred and be consistant throughout the app.
- I'm always getting "battery draining too fast" messages for my two C425 cameras and my doorbell camera. I live in an apartment that has a lot of foot traffic and vehiclular traffic and no matter what settings I use the message always gets triggered. We should have the option of turning off that message in the app & notification.
- There should be an option in the app to go directly to the camera settings without having to go into a live view first.
- Multi-Select clips in SD Card view for delete or download
- Filter by AI detection on SD card view.
- Multi-Select clips in Cloud view for download (can already multi-select for delete).
- Video progress bar for SD Card clips. The horizontal timeline bar in the SD Card view does not seem very useful in my opinion.
- Ability to sort the clip list by newest or oldest first. (Cloud/SD Card)
- SD card view; clip playback auto advances to next clip making scrolling through clips difficult.
- Ability to disable audio prompts from the camera's built-in speaker (see this post)
