Hi, what is the best way to stop the TC82 camera from detecting clothes on the washing line as movement?  I've had over 100 detections in the space of 2 hours.

 

Cheers.

Disable general motion detection and enable only specific object‑based types like person, vehicle, and pet detection. This should filter out most irrelevant activities. If the problem still exists, check this article for more suggestions. What should I do if my Tapo camera triggers false detection?

  @Wayne-TP Thank you for the reply.  I have already tried the stuff sugested in the link you provided.

 

The TC82 only has motion and person detection options, I have tried turning off motion detection while the washing is out on the line but I still get a lot of wake-up events even though motion detection turned off (between 400-900 per day in total although most are filtered by AI).

 

Also I still get some of the clothes being detected as a person.

 

Any further help is appreciated.
