Model: TC40  
Hardware Version: V7
Firmware Version: ?

Okay, so I don't know the firmware version and the hardware version. It does have the latest firmware though.

 

Our TC40 motion detection is turned on, so naturally, it follows movement when detected. The problem is, it always gets stuck at an awkward default position once a day. Daily, I'll have to do a pan and tilt correction, then choose viewpoint 1 to resolve it.

 

Clearly, turning off the motion detection would solve this, but I kinda need that feature. That or get a second camera.

 

It would be great:

 

1. If I could set a viewpoint as it's default position.

2. To have the camera come back to that default position after wandering around when detecting motion.

3. If the camera angles won't get out of wack as often as it does. Checking everyday if I need to do a pan and tilt correction is quite a hassle. Also, the camera isn't able to do it's job properly when this happens. It ends up pointing at a bunch of leaves.

 

Firmware update please? Pretty please...

So a firmware update came up for my camera 17 hours after posting about the problem.

 

Hope the update sorts everything out.

Normally, after motion tracking ends, the camera should return to its initial position. For the situation you described, is it possible that you or another user with camera access manually moved the camera at some point, but did not return it to the original position?

 

You can perform a test yourself - walk in front of the camera to trigger the tracking, then move out of the camera's view, and observe whether it returns to the starting position.
