Model: Tapo C500  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.4

I purchased a C500 around six months ago as we've been having issues with a neighbour. This used to pick up noises and sound/conversations on our drive etc. This has now stopped working and we only get intermittent cracking. Everything is up to date firmware wise etc. How do we troubleshoot? This is the same for both recordings and live viewings.

  @-NotImpressed- No message from you so far. 

 

@Flubbs  A beta firmware with relevant modifications was sent to your device two weeks ago. You may want to check the new message in the user center.
