Model: Tapo C520WS  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.3.4

 

 

The Tapo C520WS currently lacks the ability to return to a preset or “home” position automatically after motion tracking or manual movement.

 

This is a basic and essential function for any Pan/Tilt camera, and it used to be available on older Tapo models (C200, C210, C225).

 

Without it, the camera stays pointing wherever it last tracked motion, which makes it miss new motion events and defeats the purpose of a default view.

 

Please re-enable or add an “Auto-return to preset position after X seconds/minutes” option in the Pan & Tilt or Tracking settings.

 

Firmware version: 1.3.4

Model: Tapo C520WS (UK)

 

Many users have requested this on the community forum. Restoring it would greatly improve usability.

If the hardware version is V2 then it does have that feature, it does automatically return to the default position after auto tracking. It returns after a minute.

  @Fluby I'm not sure about the V1 but i think it should have the same feature aswell. You can wait for the support to reply to this thread for further detailed answer.
