Step 1: Turn On Detection
Go to Camera Settings page and tap Detection & Alerts to turn on the
detection and customize its alert settings.
Motion Detection
When your camera detects motion, it will send you notications or even
sound an alarm. You can personalize your own experience by setting
motion zones to only capture what happens in the area that you set and
adjusting motion sensitivity.
Camera Detection & Alerts
Receive notifications and check feeds when the camera detects a motion, or when someone crosses a boundary, enters an area you've set, or
obstructs the camera. Insert a microSD card to record the clips when activity detected. Otherwise, you can only receive the notications.
Note: Initialize the SD card on the Tapo app before using it.

Line-Crossing Detection
Add one or more lines that should not be crossed, then if the set line is
crossed, the camera will send you notications or even sound an alarm.
You can also set the crossing direction and detection schedule. It is ideal
for fence detection, property monitoring, and parking areas.
Area Intrusion Detection
Add one or more activity zones, then when the camera detects someone
enters the set zones, the camera will send you notications or even
sound an alarm. You can set the detection schedule as needed.

18
Camera Tampering Detection
When the camera view is blocked, it will send you notications or even
sound an alarm. You can adjust the detection sensitivity. Increased

detects activities. You can customize the time when the camera sends
you notications.
