My camera keeps turning left for no reason. Has been running without fault for a month since installation. Running normal this morning then suddenly it turned left.

First I tried to simply turn the camera round in the app, however as I was pressing the right arrow the camera seemed to be fighting me. When I got it into its central position the camera simply returned left to face the house.

I have rebooted it, camera just turned left again.

Tried to turn it right again and again it's just resisting and wanting to go left and as soon as I stop pressing the button in the app.

Try to factory reset the camera and see if the auto pan&tilt calibration operates properly - whether the camera can fully rotate both vertically and horizontally. How to reset my Tapo camera

 

And check whether this issue still occurs after the camera has restarted completely.
