Model: Tapo C120  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3

I doubt it if it makes any difference but as to the Hardware Version, on the box, it actually says Ver 1.6, or is that the Software Version? Anyway, both of my cameras are connected to my Alexa so that announcements are made that a person is detected.

 

I've designated device names, one being: Front Door, and the other being: Back.

Despite the device names, when the announcements are made on Alexa, the Front Door C425 says: "Person detected at Tapo". Although I'd prefer it to say "Person dectected at Front (or Front Door)", I can live with this minimal announcement.

 

However, on the Back C120 camera, the announcement is 17 MULTI-SYLLABLE words!!! 

It says: "Person Detected at Tapo understore C one hundred and twenty underscore four hundred and forty one d". 

This ends up being quite an interruption, especially if I'm in bed sleeping, in the middle of a conversation, listening to music or watching TV. 

 

I tried rebooting the cameras. No change. Then I turned the C120 camera off and back on. Still no luck.

 

How can I fix this so that it only says 4 words instead of 17?  Please help.
