How to Keep SwitchBot Outdoor Pan/Tilt Cam at the Position After Adjusting the View – SwitchBot Help Center

After the device moves, there may be a slight deviation when the camera returns to its original preset position. This is common for pan/tilt tracking cameras and does not necessarily indicate a device fault. During tracking, the camera needs to rotate the pan/tilt mechanism continuously. When returning to its position, factors such as mechanical transmission error, angle control accuracy, stopping inertia, and the return-position algorithm may affect the final position. Therefore, it may not return to exactly the same position every time. In general, this is acceptable as long as it does not affect the main monitoring area.
Turning Motion Detection off and then on again will clear the detection area you previously set.
If the deviation is large, you can manually calibrate the pan/tilt accuracy, or contact us via Feedback in the SwitchBot App for further assistance.
