Hi,
If you encounter the phenomenon that the camera's privacy mode turns off automatically, please refer to the instructions below to change the password for your TP-Link account, do not share the new password with others, only log in to the Tapo app on your phone, then test whether the reported phenomenon persists.
What can I do if I forget my password of the cloud account
If yes, we recommend sending an email to forumsupport.usa@tp-link.com with the following information for further assistance.
