The regular non-solar one pans every few seconds; this one does not pan to waypoints without manually doing it every time. A trigger won’t work for movement if it’s not pointed at the area. So if something moves on the side of it unless it is panned, it won’t trigger a recording; they don’t pan as t…

Welcome to the Forum, @manderlynn ! :wave: If you’re referring to the Pan Scan setting on Cam Pan v3 and Cam Pan v4, then I imagine Solar Cam Pan does not have this setting for the same reason it doesn’t allow Continuous microSD recording unless it’s powered by an appropriate AC adapter in order to…

Or, alternatively, allow a detection by another camera to trigger the pan camera to pan to a specific waypoint. If my fixed camera picks up something in my driveway then trigger my front yard pan camera to pan to waypoint #4 that I’ve set in the software because that waypoint includes the driveway. …

I’ll go one further. I don’t get the logic on a 360 camera that will only do tracking for persons and not the other standard choices. It doesn’t even track persons unless enabled. If I wanted a stationary cam I could have ordered that one.

All four of the motion categories are already enabled.

Do you mean that for detection/recording (in Event Recording ➜ Smart Detection Events ➜ Customize Recordings) or something else? That’s not the same as tracking, which is why I mentioned the existing Wishlist request above. Cam Pan v4 has Smart Tracking which allows a user to define a priority ord…

Thanks. That request is similar to mine. The motion detection is fine but it does not initiate tracking. I also have a Pan Cam v4 that works exactly like I think the Solar should on tracking.

You’re welcome. I’ve gone ahead and merged your other topic based on this response here. :+1: Please go vote for Solar Cam Pan Vehicle & Animal Tracking (like Smart Tracking on Cam Pan v4) ! You can do that by scrolling to the top of that topic to tap or click the Vote button above the initial po…

[image] Crease: I imagine that’s what Wyze came up with as a way to allow live view area scans while trying to preserve battery. I keep hearing this preserve battery thing on the Solar Pan Cam. I have NEVER seen my solar pan cam battery below 99%. Wyze needs to use up some of this battery w…

Yeah, so go vote for it.
