C200 Blank Screen no recording after scheduled reboot

Hi All
I have had this issue a number of times now. My camera auto reboots at 12 at night. Then when I got to look in the morning on the app the screen is blank. I can control the pan and restarting the app does nothing. If I then do another reboot from the app it comes back. When I look at the recording I can see it has stopped recording (continuously set) when it rebooted. This is intermittent but has happen at least 5-6 in the last month? Is there an update to fix? Thanks

@simoncpage Good day,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. For “Blank screen" do you mean Liveview page is Blank, and Playback- recording also stops after 12AM?
May I have the screenshots when the problem happened again?
Can you help to confirm some details below for this issue:
1> Tapo APP version (make sure it's the latest version)
2> Model of your mobile phone & Android/ IOS version
3> When problem happens, test a different mobile device, is it the same issue?
Btw, if you did not set up Scheduled reboot and test for a few days, does every thing work fine?
We look forward for your reply, thank you!

@simoncpage Hello,
Thank you for your reply!
When the issue happens, please also check if the time stamp on Live view page looks normal . or does the timestamp stops/ disappear? Thanks ~

@Solla-topee happened again.
Both my iPhone and iPad both have a black / blank screen the clock is ticking away up top and pan etc works as you can see the camera move but recordings and screens are blank
- ties in with the reboot. The reboot schedule seems to be doing the exact opposite of what it is designed for?

The engineers couldn't fix for me after sending a bunch of logs they suggested me paying to send back my camera to get a replacement but since the sending back postage cost was too much in comparison to the original cost of the camera, no guarantee a new one would fix the issue and the fact I would be without a camera while I waited for another one I ended up scrapping it for something else. My current camera has been stable since I got it and glad I swapped rather than continuing.
When tp-link have accepted there is an issue out of the owners control and which they can't solve I would expect them to not charge for a replacement and send the owner another one (possibly even a more up to date version as this model is now old and will be forgotten about soon) first free of charge and the arrange a free collection especially within weeks of ownership.

@Cuauhtemoc Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. I notice you have multiple cameras under your account. May I know does the issue happen on certain camera or multiple cameras, can you share the Mac of that camera to us via private message?
Please try a factory reset on the Tapo C200 as the guide here and see if that helps with issue.
