Model: Tapo C500  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.6

Please provide a customisation feature in Patrolling mode as mentioned below:

The camera should position itself at selected Viewpoints for the time allocated for each Viewpoint. This action should repeat for all the days or on certain days of the week.

For example: The camera remains at Viewpoint 2 (Vp) from 6am to 6pm, then moves to Vp6 till 9pm, then moves to Vp4 till 6am. This cycle is repeated for all the days. Or does different combination of Vps on certain days of the week.

Hi,
Your usage scenario can be achieved if the camera supports the Pan & Tilt Control action on the Smart Action feature.


For example, you can add an Automation entry to let the camera rotate to a specific angle at a specific time and add a new Automation entry to let the camera rotate to another angle at a specific time.
