Add automation action to smart doorbell

Model: Tapo D230S1

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.3.0

I have a Tapo D230S1 doorbell and several Tapo cameras. One of my cameras covers part of the area covered by the D230S1 and I would like to be able to set up an automation to trigger a recording on the D230S1 when the other cameras (a C510W) detects a person.

I've tried to set this up in the Tapo app but I have found that the only action available is to enable or disable Privacy mode.

Is there anyway to trigger recording on the D230S1 from another cameras?

Hi,
Currently, the Tapo D230 does not support triggering recording from another camera's detected events.

Why do you want the D230 to record when the C510W detects a person? Can't the D230 detect the person? If you just want the video recordings showing the detected person, you can also set the Tapo C510W to store detection video clips.

Best Regards
