Can you explain why you can set a schedule to detect movement across a line but not in a zone? Why would I want the line crossing scheduled but no zone detection?

 

line crossing is not a great option because it misses crossings occasionally which misses the movement entirely if it is only a one time thing. 
 

detection zone scheduling would be FAR more useful.

Hello,

Thank you for bringing this up. You’ve identified a very useful potential enhancement.
You’re correct that scheduling is currently available only for Line Crossing Detection, not yet for individual Detection Zones. We understand how the ability to schedule specific zones would provide more granular and reliable control for scenarios like yours.


The best way to advocate for this feature is to share your specific use case directly with our product team. Here’s how you can help make it a reality:
1. Submit a Feature Request: You’re welcome to post a detailed request in our community’s “Feature Requests” section. Describe your setup and exactly how “Detection Zone Scheduling” would improve your security or automation.
2. I can help organize it: To make sure it gets to the right place, you can update your post title to something like: “Feature Request: Add Scheduling for Detection Zones on Tapo Cameras.” Once you do that, let me know, and I’ll be happy to move your thread to the dedicated feature request section for the team’s review.


We regularly evaluate user suggestions, and detailed input like yours helps us prioritize future updates. Thanks again for taking the time to share this idea!

 

Best Regards,
