Using the tapo app i go to the video quality tab to set resolution of the live feed. The app communicates that it is the live stream itself that is affected by this option but when i go to download the clips from the camera they are at 720p, same as stream quality. 

I assumed that the local recording stored on the SD card would be in 2K and stream would be separate to save on bandwidth(im running 6 cameras). 

When i go to pull the SD card and check with my PC the recording is listed as a 720P recording, 2.5 hour recording and is 260MB.

After this i up the quality in the tapo app to 2K quality and the file correctly reads as 2560x1440p video.

On my desktop PC i setup rtsp streams and there are multiple qualities to choose from. stream1 for high quality and stream2 for lower, yet the locally stored videos mirror tapo app settings.

Am i doing something wrong? Should all cameras be set to 2K quality to actually store 2K footage?
