Model: Tapo C225  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.3

Good morning, what automatic settings can I set up between the Tapo C225 v1.0 camera and Alexa or iOS shortcuts? Is it possible to automatically start recording when I leave the house (or move away from the 100-meter radius)?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The camera does not have the "start recording" action, so it's unable to set the camera to start recording when you leave the house. If you have an SD card inserted in the camera to store video recordings, you may set a Recording Schedule and check if it helps.

How can I store the Tapo camera video recordings on a microSD card

 

Alternatively, you can set to turn on or off the camera's privacy mode when you arrive home or leave home. If the camera's privacy mode is on, it won't record anything; if it's off, it will start recording according to your storage settings.

 

Best Regards
