Hi i have purchased a TC65 camera having done some research and not wanting to pay the very high prices of the standard brands in the home security market but thought this camera might be the right one for me as it is marketed as an outdoor security camera. I am I happy with the camera quality and picture quality but it is almost unusable as a security camera! 

The camera motion detection, Line crossing and Area intrusion all suffer from the same problems outlines in the thread “Tapo C310 sensitivity” so i have switched these off as they detect motion from flies, headlights etc. and create too many recordings and notifications making it unusable. 

I dont really want to pay a monthly subscription but have tried the AI people Detection but again this is almost unusable - it does not pick up any people motion at night and misses some key ones during daylight e.g. my wife getting into car this morning! So completely defeats the aim of this as i want to rely on it as a security camera. 

Please can you tell me if there is anything i can try or do i need to bin the camera and go to one of the main brands in the market?
