Person detection picking up pets
Person detection picking up pets
My Tapo C320WS has been an indescribable disappointment.
I only got it to monitor my front gate (in case of parcel delivery).
The angle is set so that it doesn't pick up movement in the street.
However, it now keeps bombarding me with endless notifications when my pets move around in the yard.
"Person detection" = clearly a total disappointment.
I have tried Motion detection but that makes sense not to work.
I've tried Line-Crossing but also not working - this one constantly notifies when there are bugs flying past...
If there is ANY kind of sense to keeping this product, please please please notify me!?

Will do so directly after this reply.
2. Can you share the video that shows the camera detects the pet as a person with us?
I don't have a monthly subscription and am using an Ethernet cable (so not able to connect to the same network on a device).
So not sure how to download/share this video with you (you'll see below I don't have a "download" option):
3. It would be highly appreciated if you could send us a picture showing the installation location of your camera.

@Inge83 I have a Tapo C210 and I am also having the same issue. It detects animals are persons. I guess the Image Detection model needs some more training since it doesn't appear to be very effective.
Any updates on this?

nunomvp I've been told to update to firmware 1.3.12 and reduce Person detection sensitivity to 4.
That did not work to resolve my issue - and no further support.
This morning I pointed my camera in a different direction which effectively renders it useless...
Good luck - maybe the update will help you - please let me know if you find a (different) solution?
