OBSBOT Tail 2 — does it auto-recover after a power cycle? (streaming + position + auto power-on when plug)
Hi all (and hopefully OBSBOT support 🙏),
I run an OBSBOT Tail 2 as a permanent, unattended 24/7 install, pushing RTMP
to my own server. The problem: after a power cycle, nothing recovers on its
own. Three questions:
- Streaming — RTMP doesn't auto-resume after a reboot; someone has to start
it manually. Is there an auto-start streaming on power-on setting? Does
SRT/RTSP auto-resume on boot even if RTMP doesn't?
- Position — after a reboot the gimbal doesn't return to my framing. Does the
Tail 2 automatically return to the "Initial Position" (pan/tilt + zoom) on
power-on, or is that only a manual "reset" action?
- Auto power-on when power returns — the wall outlets are switched off
overnight. The camera runs on its battery until it drains and shuts off. In
the morning the outlet power comes back and the camera is receiving power
again, but it does NOT turn on by itself — I have to press the power button.
How do I make it boot automatically as soon as it gets external power,
especially after the battery has fully drained? Does "Plug/Unplug to Power
On/Off" cover this case (battery fully empty → power restored)?
Goal: camera stays on / comes back 24/7, returns to my exact framing, and
resumes streaming — zero manual steps. Is this achievable today, and with
which settings/firmware? Thanks! 🙏
