Tapo C500 notification action type selection
Hello, I am a user of Tapo C200 V1 & V3 and Tapo C500 V1 cameras. I have a suggestion for improving the notification feature of the C500 model.
One of the features that I like about the C200 cameras is that they allow me to select notifications by type of detection (motion, person or baby). This way, I can enable motion detection and only receive notifications when a person is detected, which is very important for security purposes.
However, I noticed that the C500 camera does not have this “activity type” option in notification settings. This means that I have to either disable motion detection and only enable person detection, or enable both and receive too many notifications. Both options are not ideal, as I would lose the ability to record by motion detection and use the motion tracking feature, or I would be annoyed by irrelevant notifications. This is a major drawback for an outdoor camera, and it makes the product almost useless for my needs. I was expecting the C500 camera to have at least the same functionality as the C200 cameras, and I was very disappointed to find out that it does not.
Therefore, I kindly ask if it would be possible to add the notification by activity type option in the next C500 firmware update or Tapo app update.
This would greatly enhance the user experience and satisfaction of the C500 camera.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
