DO NOT Upgrade your Tapo C500 camera to firmware version 1.1.4 if you have Kingston SD card!

Model: Tapo C500

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.1.4

This is a continuation of a similar thread https://community.tp-link.com/en/smart-home/forum/topic/672894.

I bought 3 Tapo C500 cameras paired with 3 Kingston Canvas Select Plus 128G from BOTH OFFICIAL TP-Link and Kingston Stores.

These SD cards are recommended in their page https://www.tapo.com/ph/faq/111/

2 out of the 3 cameras had an automated update from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 in where after the update, the kingston sd cards became read-only or bricked.

I have disabled the auto-update on my 1 remaining version 1.1.3 camera.

Imagine a CCTV camera where there's no recording, it's unacceptable.

TP-Link should replace those broken SD Cards!

@C500-Camera

Device firmware upgrade does not involve any operations on the SD card. The only relevant aspect is that after the upgrade (device reboot), various settings/parameters and status of the camera will be re-detected and updated, such as Wi-Fi connection, cloud connection, software settings update, pan & tilt testing, etc. This process also includes re-detecting the SD card status.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. It is recommended to contact the local TP-Link support team for further assistance. We have recorded this feedback and reported it to the R&D team for analysis. If any factors that could be contributing to this issue are identified, we'll share an update in the community in time.
