The mtp protocol does not support directory monitoring:

"mtp:\TECNO F2LTE\Internal shared storage\DCIM\Camera"

Phone Software: Android 8.0
PC Software: Windows 10

Any help ist appreciated!

No help needed.
It is simply as stated:
The MTP protocol does not support directory monitoring,
so you can not use RTS to monitor MTP directories for changes.
However, FFS is (still) able to work with MTP directories.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, it didn't help very much.
I replaced mtp with ffs. But now it's monitoring C:\Users\[User]\Desktop\TECNO F2LTE\Internal shared storage\DCIM\Camera. I wanted the batch job to start when the phone is connected, but now it doesnt. It's just looking for a Desktop folder that doesn't exist.

You cannot do what you are trying to do. RTS monitors the folders in the sync and will start a batch job when it detects a change or when it is connected. mtp DOES NOT support this, so RTS will never see the phone connect to the computer. This is not a problem or feature missing from RTS, it is a feature missing from the mtp protocol.
