yes, same here, i have a sandisk 32gb in one and the Kingston 64gb in the other and they are doing fine. Got the 128gb refunded as useless in the camera but worked in everything else!

The tapo app, should format the card to be fat32, then do whatever it does to the card.

Its not really fair on the user to have to use a pc to format a card then get the tapo app to format it again.

@donalboyle01 mine have been working fine once i got a 64/32gb card, anything bigger doesnt work. I have a sandisk 32gb in one and the Kingston 64gb in the other and they are doing fine. Got the 128gb refunded as useless in the camera but worked in everything else!

I have tried to format two sd cards I recently bought to Fat 32 on PC as the  website suggests. But they still can’t work on the two Tapo C200 I recently purchased. On the other hand, I switched these two sd cards to my two car recorders. They work! While the two old sd cards originally used  on the car recorders can work on the two new Tapo C200. It’s so weird.

the cards that fail to work on C200 are 

The new sad Cards are Sandisk extreme 64GB A2  SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I(V30)(A2) 64GB

Solution

 

To all who are having trouble with getting SD Cards to be recognised. Tapo C200 Camera

 

Instert your SD Card, Reset your camera, use the app to add your camera back to your network, then within the app, it will ask you to initialize the SD Card.

No, does not work as in previous posts, only works with up to 64gb cards, anything above has to be converted to fat32. SO best staying with 64gb. Mines is absolutely fine and has been since my first post
