Model: Tapo C510W  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.3.3 build 250228 Rel.56467n

I successfully installed, set-up the camera and all was working well. 1 day later the automatic Pan and Tilt operation has stopped. I can manually Pan and Tilt from my phone but it will not automatically track and follow a subject. the camera does recognise a subject and notifies me through my Wi-Fi to my phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Try to reboot the camera. If it doesn't help, reset and reconfigure the camera.

I have now Reset and re-configured including a re-boot, now all seems to be working again.

Exactly why it suddenly became a problem is still a mystery!

Check whether the motion tracking and motion detection features are still turned on.

 

Does the camera move if you perform a Pan & Tilt correction (camera Device Settings > Pan & Tilt.)?
