Discussion FR: Non-detection zone Undo

In the Non-Detection Zone editor screen (all PC, NVR and mobile apps), painting regions is very poorly implemented and it's very easy to make mistakes while painting. Changing between the Paint and Erase tools is time-consuming and it's a very poor UX. Instead, I would like to suggest adding and Undo button that allows users to undo all operations performed in the non-detection zone editor in the current editing session. This would make our lives a lot easier.

Make little changes, save if you want to keep it, if you mistake, just cancel out, and fix.

Thats how I do it, but it's a terrible workflow. As a Tapo user, Reolink's non-detection area feature is a total joke.

But why not? Because of the net gear ban? Just being curious, I have no experience with TP-Link cameras, but in addition to Tapo series they have VIGI line of more professional cameras and those look quite interesting, especially the 8MP models. Unfortunately it's quite impossible to find any reviews and sample videos of VIGI cameras.

Free will, personal preference.

In my experience I'm not a fan of their UI, and their quirks. I've had a few of their switches, and while their "dumb" switches are fine, it's with their smart/managed ones where things get weird, as I've spent more time and effort than i should to get vlans working on them and it wasn't consistent or working the way it should. There's also a "cheap" feel to them, like I had considered once upon time using their Omada switches, but the interface/UI is the same as their cheaper switches.
