Motion Detection
With motion detection, the Tapo app alerts you of activity that matters and sends notifications straight to you when motion detected. Insert a microSD card to record the clips when motion detected. Otherwise, you can only receive the notifications. Note: Initialize the SD card on the app before using it.
1. Go to Camera Settings page and tap Detection & Alerts to customize its current detection settings.
2. On the Detection & Alerts page, enable the Motion Detection function. It’s recommended to enable the Notifications function to receive motion detection messages.
3. Customize Camera Alerts settings. Choose Alert Type (Sound/Light) and Alert Sound (Alarm/Tone), and set Alert Schedule as needed.
4. Customize Activity Zones and the camera will only detect motion in custom zones. Entire view is covered by default.
5. Adjust Motion Sensitivity (Low/Normal/High) as needed. Increased sensitivity results in more recordings and notifications.
6. After editing the detection settings for the camera, you can set the Recording Schedule for the motion detection.
7. On the Live View page, tap to CAMERA find all recordings. The orange sections are recordings for motion detection. Note: The microSD card is needed for recordings. Initialize the SD card on the app before using it.
