Tap Alarm Type to select the alarm type; tap Alarm Sound to select the alarm sound.

Click on Alarm Schedule to select the time period to alarm when the camera detects events.

If you select Custom Schedule, you can customize the time period to alarm when the camera detects events.

Step 4. The Tapo cameras that work with a hub, such as Tapo C420, have a feature called “Trigger Hub Alarm”, and you can tap to toggle ON/OFF it and set the alarm sound for it. Then the hub will alarm when the camera detects events.
