Model: Tapo C200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.16

Hi

When motion is detected the C200 does not record to the SD card or anywhere else.

If I go to 'Playback & Memory' there are no recordings. However, I can record video & take photos from 'Playback'. & they are stored on the SD card.

All the relevant settings are correct such as:

Camera Settings - Detection & Alerts is set to on.

Motion Detection is on

Recording Schedule is set to orange across the board.

I've updated the Firmware, I've rebooted the camera several times & I've now run out of ideas.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for the feedback, please go to recording and enable Continues recording, will  camera record videos there? If still no recording, it could be related to SD card, try a different SD card. 

If continous recording works fine, can you check if motion is detected by camera and trigger the motion event. 

  • Check if motion is detected by camera first:  try turning Alarm for cameras and see if alarm goes off when a motion is detected? 

If motion does not trigger the Alarm,  try to Confirm Motion Detection is 'ON', and  set up proper Activity zone & Sensitivity settings as instruction here

May I have a photo of playback & motion detection settings?
