The feature on the Tapo C510W is motion tracking, not person tracking. Any movement within the detection zone will trigger the motion tracking. 

Some models that support AI detection also provide corresponding AI tracking, like person tracking, pet tracking, and vehicle tracking. If you're interested in this feature, consider getting a Tapo C520WS.

The post you linked is the opposite (at least different) of what I want to do.

 

what I want to do is being able to exclude (or actually include only) some part of the view during motion tracking.

 

Thanks.

If such feature is available, it works the same way. You just need to exclude the target area in the detection zone.

'If such feature is available.'   

It is still a feature request.

As initially explained, Tapo C510W does not support this feature, and neither do other models.

The detection zone is a fixed area, it cannot recognize and remember the target area and being adjusted automatically when the camera rotates. For example, if a square zone is added at the center, it remains there regardless of the camera's angle.

Your post has been merged with an existing feature request that describes similar content. Although it describes the opposite of your use case, if such a feature existed, your needs could be met. That's why I redirected you to that post.
