Tapo C225 random reboot
Tapo C225 random reboot

Hello,
I got 2 tapo C225 camera that have auto-update enabled with a schedule of 3 to 5AM. Looking at the camera, the time is right. But, the camera randomly reboot anytime. Today, it rebooted 3 times. I notice it cause I ear the shutter sound like when it's switching to night mode and the front LED become red and then it does like when it start (spinning, pan, etc).
I've checked in the app and I lose connection to the camera when this happen, also my NVR lose the signal.
I have auto-reboot enabled from 3:30 to 4:00am.
Thank you

@Solla-topee I found the problem using the log file it happens when there's no connection to the internet and the auto-follow function is enabled.
In the log it ends with:

I checked the log and now I found out that the camera does a reset if there's no outdie internet available and the auto-tracking is eabled. The camera will reset when he identifies a moving object.

Hi,
Do you have the random reboot issue when the camera is connected to the internet?

@Solla-topee I did block the outgoing internet in my router and then this happens (but only when motion tracking is active). When I do not block it works.
