Model: Tapo C310  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.2

C310 is a very nice piece of kit but I have so many false alarms, day and night, have given up using it. I have lowest sensitivity set. and have set zone to minimise any external triggers. Instead I'll buy a simple (non-video) intruder alarm. If anyone wants my C310 message me.

The suggested fixes to false alarm under Detection alerts says turn Person Detection ON but I don't see Person Detection. Please advise.

Hello  @Catcher 

Person Detection is under AI Detection. For outdoor camera, this feature is available under Tapo APP > Camera settings> Detection & Alerts> AI Detection (Person Detection) like the photo in FAQ here. Hope this helps. Please also check the suggestions on the support email.

  @Catcher Found the problem of my false alarms and that is the camera cannot tell the difference between a person and movement of small objects.

I have Motion OFF and Person Detection ON. I have a small pot of flowers in my zone of interest and movement caused by wind would trigger an alarm. So as others have found the detection algorithm needs improving. Also found insects will also rigger an alarm.
