Model: Tapo C420S2

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.0

Two cameras on my setup - both show a green bar across the top of the image in 720p mode, but fine in 2K QHD. See attached screenshot. This applies in both live stream, and recorded video.

@Wayne-TP

I have a trio of TP Link cameras which are giving a similar Green bar to the top of the camera, when using Android Devices to view, is there a software update or firmware update being developed to resolve the problem?

Thanks

I've been running a trial version of the app which solves the problem. Not sure when it's due to go GA on the Play/Apple stores though.
