Hi, 
Usually, the camera won't enable privacy mode automatically; it may be your camera settings causing this phenomenon.
  1. On the Tapo app > Cameras tab, please check if your camera is in the Home/Away mode settings page, and check whether the privacy mode is enabled. If so, applying Home/Away mode settings will enable the camera's privacy mode. You can remove the camera from Home/Away mode for testing.

  2. Please go to the Tapo app > Smart tab > Automation and Shortcut pages to check if there are entries to turn on the camera's privacy mode. If so, please disable or remove these entries for a try.
