Firmware Version: V1.3.1

Hi,

Installed a Tapo solar panel for one of our two cameras yesterday. Since then the camera kept switching to Privacy Mode whenever the sun comes out, apparently as charging automatically activates Privacy Mode.

 

How can I stop this from happening please?

 

Thanks,

Adriaan

The camera won't switch to privacy mode itself, or be triggered by the solar panel. You may want to check if any settings could be causing this issue, or if it is due to a manual control.

  • Check if there are any relevant settings in the automation. *Tapo app homepage, go to the bottom Smart tab > Automation.
  • Camera's Home/Away mode feature. Do you use the camera's home/away mode feature? Check if the privacy mode is enabled in these modes. This might cause the camera to switch to privacy mode when you change modes. How to edit Home and Away Mode for Tapo Cameras on the Tapo app
