Smart Detections of Home Cameras

A home camera is primarily used to prevent burglary, providing real-time notifications. If you enable smart detection, your home camera can notify you when it detects events around the home.

Home cameras' smart detection function usually consumes less data than traditional home cameras. The camera will only record the specified detected event. It saves space by not registering irrelevant content while making it easier to find specific video clips.

Camera systems can now do more than detect movement. Detection is becoming more intelligent and specialized to meet users' different needs.

Motion Detection

When your camera detects motion, it will send you notifications or even sound an alarm. You can personalize your experience by only setting motion zones that capture what happens in the area you select and adjust motion sensitivity.

Most Pan/Tilt home cameras support Motion Tracking. It allows the camera to track motion so you can even follow your pet's activities when you're at work.

AI Smart Detection

The camera can detect events and send notifications based on intelligent algorithms that understand people's movements, a baby crying, the actions of your pet, or other subjects. You can easily filter out the specific video clips you care about.

• Person Detection
• Baby Crying Detection
• Pet Detection
• Vehicle Detection
• Package Detection
• Gesture Detection
• Abnormal Sound Detection

Note: Tapo will soon release home cameras with the mighty AI smart detections. Stay tuned!

Line-Crossing Detection

Draw one or more virtual lines that should not be crossed in the software. Then if the line is crossed, the camera will send you notifications or sound an alarm.

For example, if you want to know when someone enters your driveway, you can draw a line on the driveway via the app.

You can also set the crossing direction and detection schedule. It is ideal for fences, property monitoring, and parking areas.

Area Intrusion Detection

Set one or more activity zones. When the camera detects someone entering the zone, the camera will let you know, and you could have an alarm go off.

For example, add an activity zone at your front door to find out when a delivery person is at your front door or when your kids get home.

Camera Tampering Detection/Cover Detection

When someone tries to knock the camera down or block the camera view, the camera will send you notifications or even sound an alarm. It is helpful in locations where the camera may be physically attacked or where the camera may be blocked.
