What is the Motion Tracking/Auto Tracking feature?

The Tapo Pan & Tilt cameras support the Motion Tracking or Auto Tracking feature, which lets the camera track activity until it has stopped after detecting it to better protect the home property and security.

Typically, the camera will return to the original position where it enabled the Motion Tracking/Auto Tracking feature after 30 seconds if the detected activity stops moving or out of the camera's monitor area and no new activity is detected.

How to enable the Motion Tracking/Auto Tracking feature?

Below are the steps to enable the Motion Tracking/Auto Tracking feature.
