Model: Tapo C200C  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3

I want to schedule the motion and people mode so that I place the camera in a store and there is a lot of movement all the time, so I don't care about all that movement. I want to schedule a time so that I activate the motion and people mode at night so that any movement from intruders is detected.

Hi, 
It's unable to set a schedule to turn on or off the camera's detection types (such as motion detection and person detection). However, you can schedule the notification or recording.

 

For example, suppose you only want to receive detection notifications or record events at night. In that case, you can enable motion detection and person detection, then go to the Notification page to set a schedule to receive notifications at night only, and go to Storage & Recording > Recording Schedule page to set a schedule to store video recordings at night only.


Below are the instructions for configuring the notification and storage settings.

Best Regards
