Tapo C220 FPS differ in Live view and Playback
Now today while messing around with different settings, I noticed stark difference in FPS in live view and in Playback in Tapo C220.
Video settings set to 30 FPS.
When I switch between 2K & 360p stream there is difference of FPS. For instance at 2K only 15 FPS is show in live view (if your camera motor is activated & you didn't waited for “ cool off ” time ~ 2 mins).
But when you switch to 360p, the live view starts showings 30 FPS.
Now when you got to playback, full 2K resolution is recorded (in highest quality), irrespective of live stream video quality setting 360p or 2K.
The issue is in 360p stream 30FPS is shows so the motion is very smooth doesn't feel jittery, but when you see same in playback only 15 FPS is recorded at 2K. Why there is difference of frame rate?
I've attached video sample comparison between liveview at 360p & playback at 2K (exported in 480p 30FPS to limit size of the video).
The top video is recorded in Liveview at 360p (perfect 30fps with buttery smooth pan & tilt)
The bottom video download from playback 2K but only 15 FPS recorded, jittery pan and tilt.
