Improving the sound detection - include fire alarms
Improving the sound detection - include fire alarms
I've noticed other camera brands such as Wyze are programmed to detect the sound pattern of standard smoke and carbon monoxide alarm signals, and a notification is sent to notify the user in the app.
Regarding the Tapo C200, for example, it can only detect baby cry.
It should be a simple fix to improve the sound detection, including it to detect fire alarms. If this would be improved, there would be no need to buy a "smart smoke detector", instead you could use a simple smoke detector and let Tapo camera alert you if it goes on.

@FO737 I agree completly with this topic. I've another Honeywell cameras that can detect any sound and it's very helpful.
I was really surprised that my Tapo C220 can't detect the alarm system of my home.

Having a cam that can alert you when it "hears" a smoke detector would be awesome...

and it would be nice if after a cam detects a smoke detector to send a signal to a hub to turn on a lightbulb in case the alarm goes off in the middle of the night, that could be one less thing to worry about in an emergency situation...

@Summer_S Thanks for the clarification! It’s good to know the Tapo C120 & C200 focus on specific sounds like baby cries, pets, and glass breaking. I’ll check the Bark Detection and post in the community if it’s not working properly.
