Model: Tapo C520WS  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.4

Hello TP-Link Support,

 

I am experiencing a persistent issue with my Tapo cameras.

 

I own five (5) Tapo C520WS cameras, and all of them are experiencing the exact same problem.

 

After rebooting any camera, the live view works normally for a period of time. However, after some time, the live stream stops and the Tapo application displays the following message:

 

"It looks like you've reached your device limit for playing this video."

 

Important notes:

 

- The issue affects all five cameras, not just one device.

- The problem has existed since the cameras were first installed.

- The issue was present before integrating the cameras with a Hikvision NVR through ONVIF.

- Rebooting the camera temporarily restores the live view, but the problem eventually returns.

- The issue occurs repeatedly on all cameras.

- The cameras are connected via Ethernet (wired connection).

- The problem appears even when only a single mobile device is being used for viewing.

 

Camera Information:

 

- Model: Tapo C520WS

- Hardware Version: V2.0

- Firmware Version: [Please insert current firmware version]

 

Since the same issue is affecting all five cameras, I would like to know whether this is a known firmware issue, a Tapo Cloud/account limitation, a session management problem, or another known defect.

 

Please advise on the recommended solution.

 

Thank you.

Hi,
You can refer to the instructions below to troubleshoot the reported phenomenon.
What to do if the Tapo app reports "You've reached your device limit for playing this video."
 

If the same phenomenon persists, please confirm:
  1. What's the model number and OS version of your phone?
  2. What's the Tapo app version?
  3. Please try to change the password of your TP-Link account, ensure only you are logged in to the Tapo app with the new account, and then test if the same phenomenon persists. What can I do if I forget my password for the cloud account?

  

If the problem persists, contact our customer service team​​​​​​​ and provide the results of the troubleshooting steps above.
 

 

Best Regards
