The two cameras work in perfect sync—once the fixed lens spots motion, people or pets, the pan/tilt lens locks on to track the subject, while the wide-angle fixed lens keeps watch over the entire scene so nothing else goes unnoticed.
Everything you need to know about auto-tracking cameras.
What is auto-tracking and how does it work?
Auto-tracking allows the camera to automatically follow a moving person, pet, or object within its rotation range.
With advanced pan-tilt motors and smart detection algorithms, the camera smoothly adjusts its angle to keep the subject centered in the frame, helping ensure important activity is always captured clearly.
Do Tapo Auto-Tracking Cameras reduce false alerts?
Yes. Tapo cameras include Free Person/Pet/Vehicle Detection that helps differentiate between types of motion. Combined with customizable activity zones, the camera only sends alerts for activity that truly matters—reducing unnecessary notifications.
Can I control the camera and review footage in the Tapo App?
Absolutely. The Tapo app provides a unified control centre where you can view live video, manually pan or tilt, enable auto-tracking, adjust settings, and review event history. You can also quickly filter recordings by detection type and export important clips when needed.
