Thanks for the reply, below is the test results
Step 1
Ensure Tapo Cam is powered on with the rated voltage. - able to start up
Step 2
Power off the device for few minutes, then power cycle and reset the Tapo Cam, ensure its LED blinking red and green. Otherwise, reset it by pressing and holding the RESET button for over 5s until the LED blinks red. - reset the device but no device WiFi detected on phone
Step 3
Android: Go to the Settings page to connect to the Tapo Cam’s Wi-Fi network. Once it’s connected, the phone will search the camera automatically. - device WiFi not detected
Step 4
Choose the right wireless network to connect, which SSID should be ‘Tapo_Cam_XXXX’. (XXXX is usually the last 4 bits of the device's MAC Address). - not detected
Step 5
Change the location for setting up the smart device to reduce the possible interference in the same frequency band at the original location (to avoid interference from devices such as Bluetooth, USB 3.0, microwave ovens, ZigBee devices, etc).- location changed but no device WiFi detected
Step 6
Reboot the phone to have a try, or try a different phone - the phone and tried using 2 different phones
same issue
If the problem remains, please help confirm:
1. The LED status on the camera - blinking red and green

Hi,
Please try to press and hold on the reset button for 10 seconds to reset the camera. If you still can't see the default SSID of the camera, it's suggested to contact your retailer or local support to check if your camera is under warranty.
Best Regards
