Dear Tapo Team,
I am a regular user of Tapo cameras and truly appreciate the quality and reliability of your products. I would like to suggest a few features that would greatly enhance the Tapo app experience for many users:

  1. 🪟 Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode for Live View
    Add a PiP mode so users can keep watching the live feed in a small floating window while using other apps.

  2. 📺 Tapo App for Google TV / Android TV
    Releasing a dedicated Tapo app for Android TV / Google TV would allow users to view camera feeds conveniently on big screens without relying only on casting.

  3. Fast Forward with Audio (VCR Style)
    During playback, enable audio scrubbing so that when users fast forward, they can hear chipmunk-style audio (like old VCRs), making it easier to scan for important events.

  4. 🧭 Auto Return to Home Position after Tracking
    After object tracking or manual movement, the camera should automatically return to the user-defined Home Position (HOME BUTTON) after a set idle time (e.g., 10–15 seconds).

  5. 🕓 Scheduled Object Tracking
    Allow scheduling of tracking (e.g., automatically turn ON tracking at 11:00 PM and turn it OFF at 5:00 AM). This would automate night surveillance without manual intervention.

These features are commonly found in advanced surveillance systems and would make Tapo cameras even more powerful and user-friendly. I sincerely hope your development team will consider these suggestions for future updates.

Thank you for your attention and excellent products.

After the latest update, the camera’s RSSI is weaker and less stable. Previously, it reached -33 dBm, but now it stays around -44 dBm or higher. Please optimize the firmware to restore better connectivity performance. Kindly check and fix this issue in the next update. 

  • RSSI = -33 dBm → strong signal

  • RSSI = -44 dBm → weaker signal

Best regards,

Hi,
Thank you for your suggestions regarding our product and app. I'll log these feature requests and forward them to the relevant team for evaluation.

 

For the feature request to schedule the tracking feature, you can achieve it via the smart action > automation feature if your camera supports motion tracking on/off actions.
 

Best Regards
