Follow-up to #152 — stamps configs.frigate.autotracking: false on the brands Frigate's official docs mark ❌ brand-level:

Brand Count Frigate's reason
Hikvision 46 MoveStatus won't update even on latest firmware (minus the DS-2DE3A404IWG-E/-E-W exception, already true in #152)
Tapo 20 PTZ controls work, autotracking does not
Foscam 8 Support PTZ but not FOV relative move

Scope guards:

  • Only genuine motorized PTZ stamped — type: ptz plus the 2 motorized TandemVu panoramics (which have ptz.autotracking). Fixed multi-sensor / dual-lens kits were skipped.
  • Only cameras with an existing frigate block (no fabricated configs).
  • onvif_ptz left undefined — Hikvision's failure is the MoveStatus bug (not move-type), and Tapo/Foscam move-type isn't cleanly documented, so no move-type is asserted.

Coverage after: frigate.autotracking 115 (98 false + 17 true). No schema/count change.

Frigate's official docs mark these brands ❌ for autotracking:
- Hikvision (46): MoveStatus won't update even on latest firmware (minus the
  DS-2DE3A404IWG-E/-E-W exception already stamped true)
- Tapo (20): PTZ controls work, autotracking does not
- Foscam (8): support PTZ but not FOV relative move

Only genuine motorized PTZ (type ptz + the 2 motorized TandemVu panoramics)
with an existing frigate block were stamped; fixed multi-sensor cameras skipped.
onvif_ptz left undefined (Hikvision issue is MoveStatus not move-type; Tapo/
Foscam move-type not cleanly documented).
