Model: Tapo C500  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I wish to make a suggestion to Tapo tp-link team.

 

The c500 does not have an auto tracking feature but only motion tracking. But it does have person detection.

 

Now unlike  C520WS, i am not able to turn off motion detection and keep motion tracking on for only persons (Auto tracking in c520ws).

 

Kindly help.

 

This is a serious setback. As i just want to track a human. But I can't do it in c500. It tracks all motions.

  @Techsavvy 

 

The C520WS's auto-tracking feature allows the user to track all or select activities (Person/Vehicle/Pet). You can switch on Person Tracking without enabling Motion Detection.

 

Did you select "Track all Activities"?

 

Tapo C500 supports Motion Tracking only, so you cannot enable motion tracking with motion detection turned off.

  @Wayne-TP Hi, I solved with an Automation Routine in Smart:

 

WHEN Tapo C500 detects "Person"

THEN Active C500 Motion Tracking

 

It seems to run...

Bye

Thank you for sharing! Despite this method causes some delay in camera tracking, it is indeed a way to fulfill such use case.
