I know the C260 is an indoor camera but I have mine pointing outside the window. I don't think that makes any difference but I've noticed that when I'm looking at the thumbnail list of motion alerts, the thumbnails all look identical because when there's movement and the video starts recording, that seems to be when the thumbnail is taken, so because any motion usually starts at the edge of the screen (in my case), there's very little difference between the thumbnails - certainly not enough difference to be obvious.

My previous camera (Eufy) captured a still frame a few seconds into the recording and it was really helpful.

I'd like to suggest that Tapo consider changing it so that the thumbnail used is taken from a few seconds in or perhaps halfway through the recording to show a more true representation of the event.

Thanks.
