Model: Tapo C500  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.6

1.) Die Kamera kehrt nicht zur gespeicherten Position zurück wenn die Bewegungserkennung manuel ausgeschaltet wird.
2.) Sehr leiser und krächzender Ton ist zu hören. Auch wenn man auf kompatiblen Modus umschaltet. (Wlan=2 von 3)

3.) Kleine Objekte sind sehr pixelig und haben einen grauen Rahmen.

 

1.) The camera does not return to the stored position if the movement detection is switched off manuel.
2.) Very quiet and croaky tone can be heard. Even if you switch to compatible mode. (WLAN = 2 of 3)

3.) Small objects are very pixelated and have a gray frame.

 

Tahnk you.

Motion tracking isn't relevant to the camera viewpoints. 

  • Motion tracking: camera moves and starts tracking when a moving object enters camera field of view. When there is no more movement for a while, camera will return to the start position.
  • Viewpoints: Save camera viewpoints for manual controls. You can rotate the camera easily to a viewpoint with just one click, without using the control wheel to move the camera slowly.

 

As for the audio, check whether the camera's microphone hole is obstructed.

>> This isn't a supported feature or working mechanism of the Tapo camera. Are you referring to something else? Motion tracking? Or the automation rules that you created?

>> Please share some pictures and videos of your camera, we can help to take a look. What's the compatible mode are you referring to? Please also provide a screenshot of it. *Upload the files to personal cloud drive then provide a link here, send it in the comment section or to me privately through a message.

Sorry for my poor English. I'm just German and use Google Translate.

I mean stored Motion Tracking positions (But it's irrelevant. Only information)

 

2) The audio ist only very very quite.

 

3) My Video is to big. 114000KB
