Hello guys,

 

I was trying to automate my c500

 

I have given it 3 viewpoints for patroling.

 

One of the viewpoints is my car which i want to watch at night without patroling say from 11 pm till 6 am in the morning.

 

Is there way to automate this.

 

Stop camera patroling at 11 pm but only at certain viewpoint where the car is visible.

 

Thanks.

Hi,
If your Pan & Tilt camera supports Patrol Mode on its Device Settings > Pan & Tilt > Patrol Mode page, you can set the Patrol Mode Schedule to turn on the mode during a specific time.

On the Tapo app > Smart Tab page, you can add an Automation entry to set the camera to pan & tilt to a specific position at a specific time.
