From the perspective of your camera, in what direction do people typically move? Is it radial movement (moving directly toward the camera or in reverse) or lateral movement (movement goes across camera's field of view)? 

Person detection triggers when camera recognizes a human shape through AI, it will be difficult to trigger if the human shape is unclear.

As a battery-powered camera, Tapo C420 does not support continuous recording. If you prefer more accurate detection and want to enable continuous recording, consider purchasing an AC-powered camera. The battery-powered camera is in sleep mode most of the time to save battery. Detection and recording start only after the camera is woken up. In contrast, the AC-powered camera does not have a wake-up process, so it can begin detection and recording more quickly.
