Hi.

Is there possibility to set the Patrol mode interval in minutes? Currently can only set Patrol interval in 1 hour steps and it's useless like that. 

 

Tapo c660 v1.0

Firmware 1.0.15

Hi,
Currently, it's unable to set the Tapo C660's patrol mode interval in minutes. In this situation, we recommend you provide a detailed usage scenario and describe the reason why you want the camera to be able to set the interval in minutes. I'll log the feature request and forward it to the relevant team for evaluation.
Best Regards

Definetely it should be much shorter than hours! It ruins the whole point of pan/tilt camera!

Do I want to turn my back for an hour - no!  Even 10 min intervals would do but not hours!

  @Solla-topee the whole idea of using patrol mode is to have the camera periodically change to different views to check different zone for changes or activity. 
 

In other Tapo devices this patrol mode interval can be set in minutes and hours. In fact there is an option to set it to as low a time as 1 minute. 
 

Consider a scenario where the C660 is mounted on a shed. To the left is a garage. To the center is a house. To the right is the back of the property. Having the camera patrol between those locations on a set interval less than 1 hour is a critical capability.
