How to set detection zone for your Tapo Camera
Note:
Different models have different support times and versions. Please pay attention to the official website for firmware updates.
The Detection Zone feature allows you to define a specific area that you want your Tapo Cam to detect. If you only need to monitor activities in a certain area, you can set custom detection zones to reduce unnecessary detections.
There are two types of detection zones:
Set for All: Monitor the same detection area for all detection types.
Set for Each: Monitor different detection areas for each detection type
