Hi TP-Link team,

 

I’m using the Tapo C530WS and appreciate the accuracy of the motion and person tracking feature. However, I’ve noticed that once tracking ends, the camera takes around 30 seconds to return to its last saved position. While it’s great that it does reset, this fixed delay can be a bit long in practice—especially when the camera is actively monitoring an entry point or set area.

 

I’d like to request an option in the Tapo app to adjust the return delay time, perhaps with configurable settings like 5s, 10s, 15s, etc. This would improve responsiveness for users who prefer their camera to reset more quickly after tracking ends.

 

Would love to know if this could be added in a future firmware update, or if there are any plans already in motion for such functionality.

 

Thanks for all your great work and ongoing improvements!

 

Best regards,
Will
