Detection, but only at night?

Hello,

I have several Tapo cameras, including the C410. However, I do not quite understand how the detection and notification settings work.

Since the C410 is battery-powered, I obviously want to minimize power consumption as much as possible. Ideally, I would like the camera to be “active” only during the night.

The only place where I can find any kind of schedule setting is under Notifications. Why is there no schedule option under Detection?

My understanding is that if I enable Detection, for example Motion Detection or Person Detection, the camera will continue detecting 24/7. The schedule under Notifications only controls when I actually receive alerts for those detections.

Is that correct? Or is there a way to schedule detection itself, so the camera only detects activity during specific hours?

Lego 8043 red selector fix

Hi all,

I recently bought and built the 8043 Excavator for the first time. Everything seemed to work perfectly, except for the red selector lever, which struggled a lot even with fresh batteries. It felt as though the load was far too heavy for the motor.

I tried searching online to see what I had done wrong, but I couldn’t find a clear answer. I did notice, however, that I wasn’t the only one experiencing this issue.

Eventually, I discovered the cause, and it appears to be a minor design flaw—fortunately, it’s very easy to fix.
The standard grey pin runs from the yellow extender, through the gear, and is supposed to end inside the black piece. However, if the pin is pushed in just 1 mm too far, it ends up engaging with the grey piece behind it instead, which makes the mechanism much harder to turn.

My solution was to replace the standard grey pin with a black one I had, which is a few millimeters shorter. This allows the pin to stop halfway inside the black piece, preventing it from extending into the grey piece behind it.

In the photos, I have marked the original pin in red and the replacement (shorter) pin in green.

Hopefully this helps anyone else experiencing the same problem!

Not the same amount of XP?

As jungle Ekko, when I start bot side (Raptors → Krugs → Red Buff), I sometimes accidentally leave one mini Krug alive while kiting toward Red. This means I start Red with 7 CS instead of 8.

Most of the time (around 9 out of 10 games), I still hit level 3 after finishing Red Buff. But every now and then, I don’t level up and end up starting Wolves while still level 2.

Can someone explain why this happens? Is it possible that I’m too far away from the last mini Krug (CS #7) to receive the XP, even though I get the kill? Or is something else causing it?

Is there an XP range on jungle camps, or am I missing something else?
