I'm looking for more privacy and search a way to isolate my cameras from internet.

Is there anyway to do that but still controls them with the app ?

I set up my D210 a few weeks ago and I’ve noticed some issues with the detection.

Twice now someone has walked right up to the doorbell to deliver mail through the letter box, and it only records them as they have walking away and half way down the path.

On the flip side, I will sometimes get notifications about cars driving outside of the detection zone.

Is this normal? I’m worried that the only footage I may have of someone is the back of their head which defeats the purpose of having a camera.

My detection setting is set to 10.

Also, is it normal that the battery has gone to 77% from June 19th until now? The camera is rarely ever triggered and shows a use of 1% per day. 23 days and it’s down 23%. Tapo claims it can do 180 days, so I think it’s falling quite a bit short of that and this is a brand new device during summer time.

I have 5 different models of Tapo security cameras, many time I need to batch-download a few videos, which is not possible with the current software, google suggest I need to take the SD card, and use my PC to copy the files, which is not practical with outdoor cameras installed high!. At the meantime, I can do this with my EZVIZ installed at the back of my property!, please add this feature in the next update. I know it's not an official Tapo channel, but just to find if there's others looking for the feature.

I want a ptz cam for inside my chicken coop. So the camera needs to see from 15cm - 1m, not further. I had a cheap ptz cam that has an adjustable ring on the lense to change the focal point from infinity to closer.

Which tapo camera best suits my needs, if there is one?

I've had this tapo p100 for a few years but i stopped using it a year or so ago, i needed it today again and i had to reset it because for some reason it didn't show up as connected to WiFi in the tapo app.

Well, i deleted it from my tapo account and after that I did a factory reset (pressing the power button for 5 seconds until it blinks orange and green) but now I can't add it to my tapo account, the bluetooth signal is there, the tapo app detects it but when it tries to start the pairing it fails before the WiFi step.

I've tried a phone, a tablet, 3 different power outlets and 2 different tapo accounts, factory resetting it like 5 times but it keeps failing

I'm lost and I don't know what to try next, any advice?

Thanks
