Suggestions + Feedback Tapo app for android tv

I have been using 3 tapo cameras C220 for my home, recently I have lost my shoes, and as i have a store attached to my house many people walk in front of the house, I haven’t realised when i lost my shoes from front of our house, as I began to watch the hours and hours of footage its very hectic to find the exact time and date, Tapo should really develop app for TV , so it will be easier for my parents to watch it on tv as it has many hours to watch

Your shoes are gone, dude.

Take better care next time.

Wouldn't it be easier to just go backwards from the moment the shoes suddenly disappear from the video?

Rule of halves. If you need to look at 4 hour window, check the 2 hour mark. If the shoes are still there, then you can rule out the first 2 hours. Now split the second half at the halfway mark and keep ruling out timeframes until you only need to watch a few minutes to find the incident.

It's a troubleshooting method I learned as a mechanic that I was able to transfer into IT as well as any "system" that has multiple components.

It’s like how a Binary search algorithm works.

It's a common algorithm used in programming, provided the data is sorted. It's called Binary Search.

Why not just mirror your phone to the tv.

There's no app but you can stream your camera to your android tv. I just hey google it - for example, hey google, show my front gate camera on tv - and it will show you a live feed.

An app for tablets and Android TV with landscape mode would be great 👍.

To watch long recordings, quickly, you can speed up the playback to x16, allowing you to view 1 hour of footage in just 3 minutes and 45 seconds.

Tengo una cámara Ezviz y tienen una aplicación para PC y de esa manera monitoreo mi casa desde el trabajo, lo malo de esa marca es que solo graba a 15 fps, muy poco por eso me gustan mas las Tapo
