The TP-Link Tapo C320WS features Area Intrusion Detection and alerts users when someone enters a defined zone. However, the provided information does not specify whether the alarm can be turned off. The camera has local storage for video recording on a microSD card (up to 256 GB), but it does not clarify whether it records only during an intrusion or continuously (24/7).
