For the reported issue, would you please send us a video showing the motion tag is no longer working?
You can upload the video to your cloud server (such as Google Drive), generate a link to download it and send me (@Solla-topee) the link via a private message.

Received the message to update to firmware 1.3.2 Build 250604 Rel.55030n, tried 3x but apparently the message to update stays even after it restarted. Tried moving something to activate motion tag but still not working, not sure if the firmware was really updated since the message stays.

Hi, 
On the Tapo app > Camera's Device Settings > Device Info page, you can find the camera's firmware version info. In your situation, it should be the firmware is not updated successfully.


Please uninstall the Tapo app and reinstall it to ensure it's up to date > reboot your router > reboot your camera > when the camera is working, try to update the firmware and check if it will successfully update.


Best Regards

Nope, after doing all that. Still can't see the device info, it is still prompting me to up update instead. Motion tag still not working. How about push an earlier firmware version? The previous version works fine with my device.

Anyway, when I get home I will hard reset the camera and see if that helps. Thanks

Hi, 
You can also try to connect the camera to the router by an ethernet cable, factory reset the camera, and reconfigure it to connect to another Wi-Fi(such as a phone's hotspot Wi-Fi), then check if you can update the firmware successfully.
Best Regards

Hi,

 

I've done all this, nothing changed. is there a way to remove the firmware update notification? it's annoying seeing it.
