Model: Tapo C220  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.5

I purchased Tapo c220 15 days before and have been facing the same issue from the beginning , when it moves while tracking a object , at last it ends up in a bad position and doesn't get back to the viewpoint I have set in the app , 

It feels really frustrating to adjust it again and again 

Now I ended up stopping motion tracking 

But that's the feature I needed the most ,

Totally a  Bad experience 

Not Expected by a well known Brand

Hi,

Typically, if the Tapo C220 has Motion Tracking/Auto Tracking enabled, the camera's original position is where it starts tracking the event. After tracking an event, the camera will return to its original position after 30 seconds if no new events are detected.
If you want the camera to return to a specific position after tracking, please pan & tilt the camera to that position in the Tapo app, and ensure the camera starts tracking the event at that position.

Best Regards

Hi,
Thank you for the video provided.
The video seems show that the camera works as it should. As you can see in the video, the camera returns to its original position at 13:07:29 after tracking.
