Hello  @Badi3 

 

1.  Alarm goes off when camera detects a motion event, can you check if there is motion detected in the day: 

Tapo APP-> Playback, check if there is any motion detection clips in Orange Color.

 

If there is No motion detection clips in Playback,  refer to Case 1: Motion is not detected or Camera Alarm never being trippeand to check Motion Detection Settings first.

2. Do you mean the Alarm is turned on, when there is a motion the Alarm does not go off? Can you toggle ON/OFF Alarm properly on the APP?

Thanks, Solla I wasn't aware of the fact that alarms have to be triggered by motion detection, I thought that button triggered it manually. Things are working as expected now. Thanks.
