Model: Tapo C402 KIT  
Hardware Version: V1

If I turn on the vehicle detection mode and view the cameras live feed, the notification goes off for detecting my parked car. How can I fix this issue?

AI detections apply to detected motion only.  They would not detect anything not in motion.  For Live View indentifers you want to look at the option for Tag and turn it on. The icon looks like a person in the middle of a split square.

  @Carl what about with just the ad cards installed. I don't use the cloud storage or the membership

Detections are based on the settings not the storage location.  Regardless if you are using SD or Cloud the detection settings would be the same.

  @Sage_ I'm having the same issue, except it's not just with the live feed. If it detects my dog in the yard,it also tells me that my car is there, too. I've had the tags/labels on & the tags/labels off. That doesn't seem to make any difference, at all.

 

It reminds me of how one of my indoor Tapo cameras kept identifying my cat as a person. 😂

 

It's not really a deal breaker, but it is rather annoying. In my case,it may have something to do with the fact that the Wi-Fi connection drops out on them quite frequently. I would get the H200 Hub to help, but the D130 doorbells aren't compatible with it.

 

Maybe buying an extra router or a couple boosters would solve the problem?

On my C425's any time vehicle detection is turned on it "detects" parked vehicles even though the only motion through the detection area is a person walking, an animal or any other type of non-vehicular motion.  The AI needs to be adjusted to differentiate between parked and moving vehicles.

I have the exact same issue on the new C460 4K cameras too.

 

If vehicle detection is turned on it always flags up a vehicle detection event whenever there is any motion on the camera, or if you view live view, if a parked car is in the detection zone.

 

For reference my existing C420 2K cameras do not suffer this. It's only the C460s that have this issue.

 

No matter what sensitivity or if tags are on or off, it always records a video saying vehicle detected when the car is parked.

 

E.g.  my car is parked in front of my house, I have vehicle detection turned on, motion detection turned on and person detection turned on (default sensitivity 6), tags turned on, vehicle sensitivity set to 1.

 

My car is parked IN the active vehicle detection zone/area, it's not moving and simply parked up. If someone walks past my house (even if it's outside the person detection zone) the video will record and flag up a vehicle detection for the recording. Sometimes it just records the vehicle not moving with nothing seemingly activating it.

 

It seems vehicle detection isn't working correctly for these cameras (certainly not my two C460s as they both do this).

 

As mentioned my C420 has never had this problem and my parked car has never activated a video with vehicle detection sensitivity on default 6.

 

I guess there's some issues with the AI algorithm at the moment and vehicle detection simply isn't working properly.

 

I have to have vehicle detection turned off otherwise I'm just getting loads of false recordings.

 

And also exactly as you say, even if you just go to live view the camera it then starts to record a clip saying vehicle detection.

 

It obviously is detecting stationary vehicles as moving objects which is completely false and shouldn't happen. Parked cars should not be detected. Only moving vehicles should be detected. I guess the AI sensitivity is way too high and it cannot differentiate between parked cars and moving ones.

 

Would be great if this could be fixed as at the moment I cannot use vehicle detection.
