Firmware Version: 1.2.9

Hi Tapo team,

 

I’d like to request a feature for your pan/tilt cameras (like the C200, C210, C520WS, etc.): the ability to set a default “home position” and have the camera automatically return to that position after a certain period of inactivity.

 

Specifically, it would be great if:

 

  1. Users could set a default position manually (through the app).

  2. The camera could auto-return to that position after a user-defined time (e.g., 30 seconds, 5 minutes, etc.) following:

    • Manual movement via app

    • Motion tracking

    • Pan/tilt movement by a shared user

  3. The camera should automatically return to the default position after a power reset.

  4. These settings are made clear and easy to configure within the app.

 

This feature would really help maintain a consistent monitoring angle and make managing these cameras more efficient.

 

Thanks for considering!
