Pressing Away Mode deleted Home Mode settings off 5 cameras - NO WARNING

Friday

Model: Tapo C720

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.3

I have never use the Away Mode, but I pressed it accidentally. In fine print underneath: Tap to activate which will overwrite detection setting of all cameras.

All my 5 camera detection settings / presets have been deleted.

I never used the Home Mode and setup all my cameras with the Manage button / Device Setting / Detection et cetera.

Is there anyway I can restore those settings / presets please? Are they saved to a configuration file withing the Android Tapo app file system? I did a backup some time ago, so I could get to it from there, but I don't know what file to look for.

Hi,
The Away mode and Home mode are two different presets of Detection, Alarm, and Notification settings for cameras. The Away mode and Home mode settings will overwrite the current settings of the camera, and if you want to go back to the original settings after pressing the Away mode, it's suggested to go to each camera's Device Settings page to change the settings again. You can also refer to the instructions below to change all your cameras' settings via the Home mode.
How to edit Home and Away Mode for Tapo&Kasa Cameras on the Tapo app

Note: by pressing the three-dots icon on the Home/Away mode card, you can view/edit the existing Home/Away mode settings.

Best Regards
