Firmware Version: 1.3.3

Hi,

 

Would it be possible to add a feature whereby the camera could be set to cover certain preset zones at prescribed times.

 

i.e. "Doorway" from 8:00 to 20:00 then the "Driveway Gate" from 20:00 to 08:00, hence effectively creating time managed patrol zones rather than simply having the constant back and forth of the existing patrol mode which allowa a maximum of 60m at any one location.

 

It may also be useful, in the time settings, to include 'sunrise' and 'sunset' as is included in other other Kasa and Tapo smart sockets and lighting, so that the cameras could be used in conjunction with other security devices to cover and illuminate specific areas during different parts of the day.

 

Thanks

 

CJ

Hi,
If your camera support Pan & Tilt Control action on the Smart Action page, you can refer to the instructions to add an automation entry to pan & tilt your camera to a specific position at a specific time.
How to create Smart Action (Automation or Shortcut) on the Tapo app
 

If your camera does not support the Pan & Tilt Control action now, it's suggested to pay attention to the new firmware and update the firmware in time. Usually, the new feature will be added to the camera via firmware updates.

 

Best Regards
