Hello and thanks for the reply.
I tried, but it doesn't work: if I delete the "Miscellaneous" category, the movements are detected, but the notification doesn't arrive.

I tried changing the notification settings in the app: Me -> notifications
Firmware update notifications can be disabled:

Hi，
The firmware update notification should belong to the "Varie" or "Miscellaneous" category.

Hi,
The notification settings on the Tapo app for your Tapo devices and the notification settings on your phone for the Tapo app are different. If you disable the "Miscellaneous" notifications on your phone for the Tapo app, your phone will not receive firmware update notifications, and may also not receive other notifications from Tapo devices. This is because not only firmware update notifications belong to the "Miscellaneous" category.

If you do not want to receive firmware update notifications but want to receive camera detection notifications on your phone, disabling the Firmware Update option on the Tapo app > Me > Notifications > System page is the correct option.

Best Regards
