Model: Tapo C200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.16

I've been using this camera for various purposes. Mostly, at present, for keeping an eye on our very timid new rescue dog. It's a great little product, but there's one feature I find very annoying.

 

Because of the nature of where we live, we have three different WiFi stations. Phones etc don't seem to be smart at using the nearest one, so we've given them different network names. If the connection is poor, I can quickly check if it's using the right one, and switch it if not.

 

But the only way to switch the wifi network on the C200 is to do a complete reset, and set it all up again. If I move the camera from monitoring the dog in the garden, to keeping an eye on her at night, I either have to go through that whole process again; or put up with a shaky connection.

 

So feature request, either:

- best: able to set several WiFi profiles, use the app to switch between at will; on power-up, camera selects the strongest one.

- minimal: use the app to reset WiFi details

 

Thanks for consideration!
