Firmware Version:

Request: implement some way to reduce the number of redundant notifications from the Tapo camera.

 

Background: My Tapo C120 sends way too many redundant notifications. I want to have person, pet, and motion detection enabled so I don't miss anything. But if a person and a  dog walk in front of the camera at the same time, getting 3 notifications at once is too much.

 

A simple implementation would be a setting not to renotify within a selectable period of time (30 seconds, 1 minute, ...).  Some other cameras and motion detectors do this.  On some it is unfortunately not a settings.  On others, the setting is referred to as "cool down" or "renotify time".

 

It would also be nice to have a sense of priority -- If I've gotten a notification about a person being detected, I don't also need a motion notification, it is lower priority than knowing that a person has been detected.

yes, please, a notification frequency would be nice. Like 1 notification at max every N minutes window per camera would be nice
