Model: Tapo D235  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.1

Hi

 

I purchased my Tapo D235 4 months ago and had been working perfectly but now it now longer is picking up any events unless I am watching in live view when it happens 

 

I have rebooted device, turned all motion sensivity to max, done all detection test, everthing and no notification of motion or anything (cars, person).

 

Don't understand how it can suddenly just stop working? 

 

I have searched forum and someone had similar problems but there was no solution posted.

 

Cam anybody help before I send back and buy a different brand?

 

Thanks

Check the suggestions in this article, Part 2. For the battery-powered cameras. What to do if the Detection feature is not working on the TP-Link Camera?

Is your doorbell battery-powered or hardwired?
