Feature Request: Ability to increase pre-detection recording buffer

Model: Tapo C120  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I would like the ability to increase the pre-detection video buffer captured so there can be more lead-in video prior to the detection event.  In my application, the motion can be subtle, then become larger.  If I increase the sensitivity, then I get more false events.  I want moderate sensitivity, but a longer buffer captured prior to the detection.  Higher-end security cameras have the ability to change the size of the detection buffer from a few seconds to 60 seconds or more.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback regarding the camera functionality. We would like to gather more detailed information for evaluation.

1. Could you please specify which detection types are enabled on your camera? Additionally, when you set the sensitivity to "moderate," what is the corresponding sensitivity value? Similarly, what is the sensitivity value when set to "high"?

 

2. If the camera has a built-in SD card, you can configure the camera to record video on the SD card continuously. Please set the camera to "moderate sensitivity" and share both the recorded detection video clips and the clips you would like it to capture.


You can upload the videos to your cloud server (such as Google Drive) or YouTube, generate a link to access them, and send me (@Solla-topee) the link via a private message.
 

Best Regards
