Model: Tapo C200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.2

Hello, with Tapo C210 I cannot set the live view quality and it looks like it is defaulted to LQ. This is possible for the C200 cameras I have. Why is a newer model missing this feature?

Image quality improved slightly after updating firmware (unreleased beta) sent by TP Link support team.

I have the same issue. I can change the image quality to 3MP in the settings but it doesn't change anything. This is frustrating, i should've bought the C200 which at least has proven results on 1080P....

@LFOoi

Thank you for your valuable feedback, please confirm Tapo  app is the up to date.

Can you share with the photo of Live view page when camera being set at  3MP and 1080P separately? 

May I know the model of your phone and its Android/ IOS version, the tapo app version, thank you.

Tapo App is up to date.

I am using iOS. All 3 of my iOS devices are having the same issue. So i think it's either Tapo's hardware or firmware issue.

@Mihainstef Hello, 

For Tapo C210 , you could set Video Quality from Camera Settings page.

I can change the setting, but the live view quality remains the same regardless of that setting:

 

3mp:

 

720p

 

 

Also it makes no sense to change the recording quality in order to change the live view quality.

 

I will put a c200 next to the 210 tonight and show you the difference.
