Model: Tapo H200   Tapo C260  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.60

I see that the H200 is listed as compatible with the C260 camera. However, I keep getting the message "firmware not supporting" when trying to use the hub as the recording destination. The hub is on FW V1.6.0 (hardware V1.0) and the camera is FW V1.1.12 (hardware V1.0).

 

I believe I am correct in that the hub requires FW V1.6.1 or later to support the C260?

 

I have opened a support ticket and asked about the firmware upgrade. They said they needed screenshots, so I have sent them the error message from the hub, along with the info (MAC etc).

 

Now they're asking me to reinstall the app on another phone, take pictures of the serial numbers / stickers, and for proof of purchase.

 

My experience up to now (having come from Eufy) is that this Tapo stuff "just works". However, if I'm right about the FW issue being the barrier, then I'm disappointed with my first and only interaction with support.

 

I bought the whole lot from the Tapo offical UK store less than a couple of weeks ago. I don't want friction just trying to make things work, when they claim to be compatible. I may just send it all back.

Hi, sounds like you have a similar problem as I do with my C560WS camera, see my post from Feb 11 or 12. They updated the C560 firmware two weeks ago, but still didn't work with the H200. Response from Tapo was that they are coming out with a firmware update for the H200 sometime soon, hopefully in a couple of weeks.

Support for C260 is added in H200's firmware 1.6.1, which is currently being rolled out in phases. If your device has not yet received the new version, please be patient as the release scale will be gradually expanded to full rollout.

Thanks for the replies. As I suspected I do need the 1.6.1 firmware, so there's little point in engaging with support further to arrive at the same place.

 

My disappointment lies in looking for a camera to suit my needs and compatible with the H200 hub. If I can't connect it, it is not compatible. Being patient waiting for the firmware still means it incompatible.

 

It should be removed from the compatibility list in the UK until that firmware is rolled out here!
