Model: TC40  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.3

New to Tapo cameras, I've come over from Reolinks. I really like the motion tracking but it's sets off too many times by insects, bushes, cars etc. So I've switched over to person detection (PD). What I would like is some smart functionality which would do the following :

When Camera detects person

Turn on motion tracking/detection for 5 minutes

The revert back to PD 

 

This way you get the best of both worlds.

 

Any thoughts.

This scenario should already be possible by using the Delay feature in the Action list. 

 

When TC40 detects person detection

Action:

  • Enable Motion Tracking on TC40
  • Delay 5 minutes
  • Disable Motion Tracking on TC40
