Hi,
Typically, you will receive the reported notifications when someone/something obstructs the camera's lens when the Camera Tampering detection type is enabled. Please confirm the following information for the reported phenomenon.

  1. Will you receive the reported notification when the lights are turned off in a room where the Tapo camera is installed?

  2. You can go to the Tapo app > Camera's Device Settings > Detection > Camera Tampering page to reduce the sensitivity value and check if it helps.

  3. If you have an SD card inserted into the camera, please follow the instructions below to set the camera to record video continuously, and then check what is happening in front of the camera when receiving the reported notifications. If no SD card is inserted, you can try clicking on the notification soon after receiving it to go to the camera's live view page and see what's happening in front of the camera.
How can I store the Tapo camera video recordings on a microSD card

Best Regards
