Uselessness Tapo c425 and detection problems
I have purchased 4 Tapo C425 which are supposed to be the best in the range battery operated , but they are totally useless , beyond 3 meters they do not detect anything , an elephant may be dancing but if it is beyond 3 meters it is not detected , my old blink xt2 detected even up to 7 or 8 meters movements . I wonder what good are cameras like this if , as happened to me , there are intruders but they are not detected.
I have already set all the sensitivities to the maximum , wake-up sensitivity to 10 , motion sensitivity to 10 , but nothing has changed
So I ask Tapo engineers directly , why not improve the detection ? As it is now it is a totally useless camera as a security camera because it does not detect anything , maybe it could detect if it steals or the camera because they are so close
Use the detection range test tool to check whether the camera's detection area covers the area you need to detect, and adjust the camera's installation position to improve performance. Detection Range Test: test the activity detection zone of the Tapo Battery Camera
As a battery camera equipped with a PIR sensor, motion detection is activated only after the camera is awakened. This helps to significantly reduce false triggers from minor movements, such as flying insects, rain, or falling leaves. If you need more sensitive detection capabilities, an AC-powered camera would be a better option.
