Hi everyone,

  I'd like to request a general sound detection feature for Tapo cameras mainly my C225

  Right now, the sound-based detection is limited to AI-classified events (e.g. baby crying, glass breaking, dog barking, cat meows). The problem is that these AI modes only trigger on a narrow set of pre-trained categories, and miss everything else.

 
What I'm asking for:
  - A raw sound-level / noise trigger that fires on any sound above a configurable decibel threshold — regardless of what produced it.
  - A sensitivity slider (dB threshold) so I can tune it to my environment.
  - The ability to use this trigger for notifications, recording, and automations, same as motion detection.

  Why it matters:
  - AI sound modes can't cover unpredictable or uncommon noises (footsteps, doors, machinery, unknown disturbances).
  - For security and monitoring, I need to know when something makes noise — not only when the AI recognizes a specific category.
  - Most basic audio-detection cameras have offered simple noise-threshold triggers for years; it's a gap in an otherwise great product.

  A general sound-level trigger alongside the existing AI modes would make Tapo cameras far more useful for real monitoring scenarios.

  Thanks for considering — would love to hear if others want this too I saw few Reddit threads that mention this also.
