Dear TP-Link Team,

I am writing to request the implementation of a new feature in Tapo cameras that allows them to be reported as stolen and remotely blocked.

As a user of your products, I believe this feature is crucial for improving the security of Tapo cameras and offering greater peace of mind to your users. In the event of a camera being stolen or lost, the ability to report it as stolen and remotely block it would:

• Prevent unauthorized access to the images and data recorded by the camera.
• Render the camera useless to the thief.
• Facilitate the recovery of the camera if found.

Implementation Proposal:

The theft reporting feature could be implemented as follows:

Camera Registration: During the initial camera setup process, the user should register it with a unique serial number and associate it with their TP-Link account. Theft Reporting: In the event of theft or loss of the camera, the user should have the option to report it as stolen through the Tapo app or the TP-Link website. To do this, the camera's serial number and other verification information should be requested to confirm ownership. Remote Blocking: Once reported as stolen, the camera should be remotely blocked, rendering it unusable to anyone attempting to access it.

Benefits of Implementation:

The implementation of this feature would offer numerous benefits to Tapo camera users, including:

• Increased security: The risk of the images and data recorded by the cameras being used for criminal purposes would be reduced.
• Peace of mind: Users would have peace of mind knowing that, in the event of theft, their camera would be rendered unusable and their data protected.
• Possibility of recovery: The remote blocking feature could facilitate the recovery of the camera if found.

Conclusion:

I believe that the theft reporting and remote blocking feature is an essential tool for improving the security of Tapo cameras. I respectfully request that the TP-Link team seriously consider implementing this feature in future firmware updates or new versions of Tapo cameras.

Thank you for your time and attention to this request.
