I agree with everybody here. Just installed my Tapo camera a few hours ago. Didn't even realise that it was recording. I need to keep one of the 19 videos (taken as "motion detection" but can't. This should be a priority to fix.

Per other users' feedback, an option to delete individual clips would be very useful.

DEFINITELY need to have the option to delete individual clips from the SD card just as we can on the Cloud. Thanks!

Lack of delete is an annoying omission. I have dozens of clips from when I was aiming the camera. Would like to delete them. Was there an actual reason or was it just hard to implement?

  @Phil-L seems obvious it was intended to "incentivise" the purchase of their online accounts...or maybe I'm just an old cynic.

So it is true?  I just asked on another thread if Tapo Care with Cloud Services can do this.  Can you upload individual recordings or multiple recordings from the SD Card to Cloud Storage?  Then sift through recordings you wanted to keep and those you wanted to delete?

  @WSC4  It's able to delete the individual cloud video clips but is unable to upload the recordings from the SD card to the cloud...

That is disappointing, and I just found that out the hard way this morning.

 

I started the Tapo Care Free Trial for 30 days, then did a few test detections on the camera and they are there on the cloud.  Hit the < icon to October and nothing is showing.  The SD Card has every day with the blue dot, and I was hoping the Cloud server would sync to it to allow exporting.

 

Even with the Delete facility, I find it too tedious to delete just one file at a time.

 

//UPDATE//

 

I have cancelled my Tapo Care Free Trail and will never use Tapo Cloud Storage again.  I also found it very slow.  There has got to be a better way.
