Model: Tapo C200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have a number of C200 Tapo cameras with SD cards and it only loops and starts to overwrite its recordings once the SD card is full.
The problem is that my SD cards are very large, so it ends up storing a lot of old footage which i dont want.

I mainly want to limit the storage of old videos for privacy reasons and because these cameras are in my house they end up capturing data which is sensitive (nobody wants to see my hairy self walking across the living room!! laugh)

I would like to have a configuration option to automatically delete old recordings. eg. Configure it to delete any videos older than 1 hour, 24 hours, 30 days etc.

This is also extremely needed in terms of law. In Switzerland we have to delete videos after 2 weeks or less, except it might contain hints for further inspection etc. Right now I have to either delete all videos or delete every single day for several weeks of all my 5 cameras. A hub and / or camera record management tool word be awesome.

 

And by the way: this missing feature is the only reason why several of my neighbours didn't want to buy tapo. They wanted to make sure they are able to comply with this requirement of media storage and privacy regulations. Except for this they were very excited about my tapo system
