24/7 Capture request
I’ve just noticed that other battery-powered cameras have a feature that takes photos at set intervals. This seems to be a compromise for people who wanted to use RTSP, but it was disabled.
Do you plan to add this feature to the Tapo C410 camera? Since other models already have it, it would be really unfair not to include this function in this camera.

Unfortunately, our forum team has no visibility into future product development plans. Typically, product feature updates are implemented through firmware upgrades. To stay informed about any updates, please monitor new firmware releases, important updates will be documented in the release notes.
To improve this post’s effectiveness, consider updating its subject with the specific model number and use the accurate feature name, 24/7 Capture. I can then assist in moving it to the Feature Request section.

Hi have a C410 camera and two C425 cameras. The C425 is very similar to the C460, so I think it would be very interesting to implement 24/7 capture functionality (frames every few seconds) on these cameras, as it would allow us to see events prior to detection. In this forum comment, the user “mazii” explains it perfectly.
"Hello, I am requesting that the exact same Always-On / pre-recording feature used on the Tapo C460 be added to the Tapo C425 with identical behaviour. The C460’s continuous low-power background recording solves a major real-world issue by capturing events before motion is triggered, something the C425 currently misses too often with PIR-only activation. Adding this exact feature would immediately make the C425 far more reliable for security, especially for fast movement and approach angles, and would significantly increase buyer confidence. From a sales perspective, this would be a major differentiator in the battery-camera market, reduce hesitation from customers comparing models, and drive higher adoption of the C425 without harming the Tapo brand. Many users would gladly accept a battery trade-off in exchange for the C460’s recording reliability, and implementing this feature would directly improve both customer satisfaction and product competitiveness."
