Go to default set position after motion tracking

Model: Tapo C210  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Latest

Suggestion can the cameras firmware be made to put camera back to initial position after a set time, specially after tracking movement...

 

I'm constantly having to re position the camera after the AI has tracked movement... 

 

If someone goes to my backdoor the camera follows them which is great. But the camera stays looking at the backdoor until movement is seen  Only then does it turn to track that movement. 

 

Here are the details of the issue:

 

  1. Description: The security camera's motion tracking feature successfully detects and follows a person's movement within its range. However, once the tracking is complete, the camera fails to autonomously revert back to its original position, requiring manual intervention each time.

  2. Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Enable motion tracking mode on the camera.

    2. Walk within the camera's detection range to trigger motion tracking.

    3. Observe that the camera successfully tracks and follows the movement.

    4. Once the motion stops, the camera remains in the tracked position instead of returning to the default position.

  3. Expected Behavior: After the camera completes tracking a person's motion, it should automatically return to its default position as programmed. This behavior would enable continuous monitoring without user intervention, ensuring the camera covers a wider area effectively.

  4. Actual Behavior: The camera remains in the tracked position even after motion tracking is completed, requiring manual readjustment to restore it to the default position. This limitation significantly diminishes the camera's functionality and causes inconvenience for users.

Hi,
Generally, the initial position of the camera is the position when you enable the motion track feature on the Tapo app, and after the camera tracks and follows the movement to a location and stopped, it will return to the initial position around 30s later if no movement happens again in front of the camera.

 

If your Tapo C210 does not return to the initial position unless you adjust manually on the Tapo app, please ensure the firmware and the Tapo app are the latest version, and you can try to reboot the camera, or reset the camera to factory default settings and then reconfigure it for a try.

 

Best Regards

  @Archer3150 Is it also possible in Guard-mode to choose not only horizontally or vertically, but that the camera moves from markpoint to markpoint? Because now it only returns to homeposition... I want to "guard" mutiple angles of the camera...
