Model: Tapo C500  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.107

When trying to playback will display " the network is unstable, please try again later". The signal is strong enough to playback/download but it doesn't work even if it shows that there should a recoded video.

 When I first installed it recorded 3 minutes which is working fine when playback option is pressed.

 

I can see that others have the same issue with other types of Tapo cameras.

 

I think a better handling/displaying of error messages in a future update should be a must.

 

Thanks in advance.
