Detection thinks cats are people

Tags: #Motion Detection

Model: Tapo C120

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.2

The subject says it all,

I have detetion of my C120 to detect only people and breaking glass, but whenever a cat comes into my garden and walks away from it, it wakes up, turns the lights on and starts recording (and labels the cat as "person")

Anything I can do about this?

Hi,
1. Does the issue happen at night only? How about in the daytime?
2. Please go to the camera's Device Settings > Detection > Person Detection page and Glass Break Detection page, then send me the pictures of these pages.
3. Can you share a video showing the reported issue?
Best Regards

@Solla-topee Hi, thanks for the reply.

This only happens at night.

Attached is a screenshot of the detection page. It will only let me upload one file at a time, so videos of the cats (that woke the camera) to follow...

The videos of cats are too large to upload, so here's a screenshot of one of the events..
