I need this function aswell. It is vital to get email notification with option to add image of the movement detected. Completely useless without this function.

@Brook I recently purchased a C200 camera and I have been looking everywhere to activate the "send a snapshot" feature via the app when I'm away. I was very disappointed to learn via this forum that this feature does not exist, and that you haven't planned adding it. I still have 20 days to return the 3 cams I purchased, which I will do unless the snapshot feature is confirmed to be added to the Tapo app.

Hi,

I saw in the shop that a Tapo C210 wil be soon available. Is this like the Tapo C200 but with the email notification ???

I just bought a C310, same massive flaw. A security camera with no ability to load footage/photos to cloud or/and email. Even the cheapest most awful ip cameras have this feature. Do not buy if you want proper security

I recently bought a Tapo C200 TP-link camera and I found out too late that it is useless because of this fact: it cannot send, record, on the phone, a single proof with the image of the one who triggered the alarm. 

From the application settings, I can decide whether to record the image in continuous stream or only in motion, stored in SD-card. When I view the image following an alarm message and decide to press the record button or picture, I am shocked to find that they are also recorded on the SD card, not on the phone. This turns this camcorder into a completely useless thing.

I hope you can correct this negative aspect as soon as possible.

Sorry, I know is an old thread but IT IS RIDICULOUS that a camera that sends signal over cloud -yes, it does stream that way- and also does push notifications in an APP can't send an email. The embedded linux it is using has, aside from the IPTV which is pretty robust already, a SOAP service, so an SMTP service its probably built in. Also, every freaking linux distribution has cURL in it, which can be easily used to send emails. Please don't make people hack this device (which can show more in deep security issues you won't like) just to make it do its job. It is AMAZING how easily an email function can be implemented (I'll do it for free if you want), or even a little FTP service to make it upload the image files resulting from a motion event, but man, this is crazy. I just bought it yesterday and I'm so pissed off about this. I'm going to disassemble it this week and hope that it has an UART port. 

For people to understand how difficult is to send an email using cURL which I'm 99.9% sure it is already built in the camera, this is the code, it just needs to use the trigger for the event (which is coded already for the push notification) and... bam.

curl --ssl-reqd \
  --url 'smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465' \
  --user 'username@gmail.com:password' \
  --mail-from 'username@gmail.com' \
  --mail-rcpt 'john@example.com' \
  --upload-file mail.txt

I'm sooo sure cURL is built into this camera because is the quickest method for firmware updates. We just authorize them to install, but they get downloaded in camera.
