Hi,
It seems like I'm the the first one experiencing this problem. The problem is though that it started with my camera saying it died, then saying it needed to reset, which I couldn't be able to. I click the "Sync/Reset" button and it flashes faster sometimes, but after waiting 30 seconds, as intended, it keeps on flashing the colour red.
Is my camera broken? Do I need a replacement?
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi,
I am having the same problem. I purchased a twin camera pack C420S2 and I set up and installed the Hub and first camera with no problems at all but when I tried setting up (pairing) the second camera I just cannot get it to connect. I spent over one hour on a Live Chat last night with an Agent who could not help so he has escalated the problem and I am hoping to get a call today. When I press the SYNC/RESET button for over 5 seconds on the problem camera, the LED starts flashing red quickly but it never stops!! Just keeps flashing and flashing. If I remove and then re-insert the battery , the LED glows red and then quickly starts flashing red/green slowly ready for pairing but it will not pair with the Hub. I am suspicious that this camera is faulty but hopefully when I get a call from Tapo Support they will be able to sort the problem or confirm there is a fault.
Out of curiosity, I tried a reset on the other camera and it flashes red quickly for a while but then soon starts to flash green & red ready for pairing. It then pairs with the Hub every time via the App.
Was your problem ever resolved or was the camera faulty?

@Ducie no unfortunately now it's stuck in the reset loop, you'll need to send back to TP-Link for a replacement and then when the new one arrives update the firmware and should work again! Fingers crossed!

Thanks for your comments. The LIve Chat Agent specifically agreed a time with me of 11.00am United Kingdom UTC Time for a Callback.
How do I reply to the TKID230128115 you have provided and give more details? I have an email from the Live Chat Agent I spoke with last night that gives a Ticket Number TKID230307491. He also agreed to send me a Transcript of our Live Chat but he has not done that?

Hi, I purchased via Amazon UK. I am not sure I can send an individual camera back to Amazon? I can initiate a Return for a Refund via Amazon. Any suggestions of how to handle this?

Are your cameras working OK now and stable? How did you arrange the replacement?

I have returned to Amazon my faulty camera together with the full twin camera pack items. I requested an exact replacement from Amazon and a new twin Camera pack arrived the next day !!! Great service !! I have now set up both the new cameras and they are fully functional. There was absolutely no problems getting the new cameras set up.
Very pleased with them so far.
