Model: Tapo C410 KIT  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.3 Build 250710 Rel. 57498n

I've looked at other threads with same issue and doesn't seem to be an actual solution.

 

Every up to date, working mode = balanced, detection zones set and activity in detection zones not recording unless app is opened. 

 

Sensitivity at max 10 for wake up and detection for both motion and person.

 

Please help.

  @Wayne-TP hi Wayne, thanks. I have read that link and have followed all the recommendations but still have the issue.

 

It detects movement but only when the app is opened. Which is not ideal.

 

I have rebooted and even reset and reinstalled the camera multiple times..

 

What else can be done? Is it a faulty camera?

  @Wayne-TP Hi Wayne,

 

When I do a detection test, nothing is detected. Even if I wave right in front of the camera the lights are not coming on to trigger detection. 

 

But as I said in my original post, it detects events when the app is open. Very strange

It seems like the camera's PIR sensor is defective. In this case, i recommend getting a replacement first. To proceed with the warranty, please contact the retailer or local TP-Link support.
