Hi,
You can refer to the instructions below to troubleshoot if fail to format the SD card.
What should I do if the SD card cannot be formatted/recognized?
If the problem remains, please confirm:
1. The model number and capacity of your microSD card.
2. The test results of the above steps.
3. The Tapo app version.
Best Regards

@Teror-fin_69 I had the same problem when i first installed the sd card in 2 c520ws camera's. One formatted the sd card perfect, the other gave me an error at 75%. I removed the sd card and and reinstalled it. It fixed the problem..

@Solla-topee ...Yes I agree.. The only time you need to format the sd card with the camera is if you have no or limited access to the camera due to the camera placement. In this case you can format the sd card is if you want to delete all the detection clips this can be done with the Tapo app. Other than that there is no need to remove the sd card once its formatted.
