Hi,
Do you add the viewpoints on the camera's Live View > Pan & Tilt page and use the Patrol feature on the Pan & Tilt > Patrol page? 

For the reported phenomenon that all of the set viewpoints are completely askew, do you mean that when you tap a set viewpoint, the camera will pan & tilt to a different position?

Usually, after you pan & tilt the camera to another position, the camera won't return to the set viewpoint automatically. 
When you use the vertical patrol or horizontal patrol feature on the camera's Live View > Pan & Tilt > Patrol page, the camera will patrol vertically or horizontally once and then return to the position where you tapped the vertical patrol or horizontal patrol button. 
When the Tapo camera has Motion Tracking enabled, the camera's position when the tracking feature is enabled is the default position. Generally, after tracking an event, the camera will return to its default position after 30 seconds if no new events are detected.

Best Regards
