  As many other users report here in the forum, the red zones do not seem to be taken into account at all and the motion detection always evaluates the entire area.

Same problem for me - the red zones make no difference at-all to the detection - I always get a notification and recording regardless of what zones I have set

Problem solved.

You can set the exception zones separately for motion, intrusion and person detection. person detection was on whole frame.
But what is the point of person detection if it is only active with a Tapo Care subscription. What does this feature do if you don't have a subscription?
