Model: Tapo C125  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.12

The frame rate setting isn't carried across to HomeKit. All HomeKit recordings appear to be locked to 15fps. 
 

is there a reason for this as HomeKit can accept 30fps. 
 

also can anyone confirm how many concurrent live views on HomeKit the camera supports? Aqara cams allow for two

After enabling HDR, the camera's frame rate will be reduced to prevent excessive heating caused by image optimization, which could impact image quality and the stability of the device's performance.

Check if the HDR feature is enabled for the camera. <Tapo App -- Camera Device Settings -- Video & Display.>

  @Wayne-TP Thanks - can you explain why this affects the frame rate in homekit? (I have now turned this on and homekit footage is now 20fps) 

 

So no HDR = 15fps in homekit (all other video settings make not difference) 

HDR enabled = 20fps in homekit. 

 

Can you also confirm if the camera supports more than one active live stream in homekit? (Like Aqara cameras?)

  @Wayne-TP Do you know why the FPS is limited to 20 without HDR? The camera advertises 30 FPS and the app allows it as a selection, but all video via ONVIF or Homekit comes through at 20 fps no matter what I do. Part of the reason why I went for the C125 vs the C120 was the higher frame rate and wider FOV, so this is a critical feature for me.
