Automatically switching between viewpoints would be a very valuable feature as well as ability to limit panning angles. When used in combination with motion detection, I would expect the camera to switch back to this surveillance mode after movement has stopped. The addition of randomising which viewpoint is next would maximise the camera's function as a surveillance tool. Thanks for listening to community suggestions!

Hi All,
1. Currently, some Tapo camera models, such as Tapo C225, C500, etc., support configuring the Patrol Mode on the camera's Device Settings>Pan & Tilt>Patrol Mode page. Below are the steps to set up the Patrol Mode feature.

Note: Non-stop patrolling may affect the motor life of your camera.


1) Tap Add Mark on the Patrol mode page, tap the arrow on the steering wheel to select a desired viewpoint, and click on Add Mark.

 


2) Customize the Mark Name, select Layover Time, and tap Save to save the settings.


3) Repeat Steps 1) and 2) to add two or more marks, enable Patrol Mode, tap Patrol Mode Schedule to set a schedule to turn on the Patrol Mode, and then the camera will move between your marked positions.

 

2. For the feature to limit the maximum movement position of the camera in the vertical and horizontal directions, it's recommended to vote or leave your comments on the thread "Limit movement".

Best Regards

Hi, does the Patrol Mode have time settings when to start? I assume it would work like the AWAY mode that will start to Patrol inbetween the set range in random timings.

 

Please tell us more or if you can share a downloadable pdf manual.

 

Thanks.

Hi,
The Patrol Mode works after you enable it, and when it takes effect, on the camera's Live View page, you can see a message notify you that the Patrol Mode is turned on.
Best Regards
