Model: Tapo C510W  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.5

I have some doubt on how it works or how to configure. 

1) I can define 4 point of views on the app, but I don't see any option to monitor this 4 point of views iteratively and constantly moving.

2) Also, I can´t find an option to define detection zones for this 4 point of views, I can only define one zone. Am i doing something wrong? 

3) I set the patrol mode, where the camera looks at one area for two minutes and then turns to look at another area for two other minutes, the thing is, can the camera detect something on the area that is not looking at? Because if this is the case, the thieve has two minutes to enter the place from the side the camera is not looking..And if I turn off the patrol monitoring, and fix the camera to one point, what is the purpose of 360 degrees? the idea is not to move manualy the camera!

Use the patrol mode if you need to monitor different camera viewpoints. In this mode, the camera can patrol back and forth between several preset viewpoints.

 

Multiple detection zone in different viewpoints is not supported. 

 

The camera can only monitor the area covered by its field of view. It is unable to detect activity in areas that are outside of its coverage. If you require extensive, all-round monitoring coverage, please consider purchasing multiple cameras.
