Tapo C520ws freezes for a second when shooting 2K QHD

Tags: #Motion Detection #Recording #Tapo Care

Model: Tapo C520WS

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.8

Hi!

Have had my C520WS up and running for about 10 days.

It´s placed in my garden and is mainly for the purpose of recording different animals passing by.

When it detects a movement filming in 2k QHD I notice a glitch/freeze for 1-2 sec coming in every sequence at around 6-7 sec in.

Wifi signal is good and I´m using Tapo Care, no internal memory card.

Then I tried 1080p for fun and noticed that the glitch/freeze-problem is gone.

What could be wrong?

Best regards,

Björn

Hi,
The problem may be related to the network quality. Please move the camera close to the router to obtain a better signal strength, and then check if the problem will disappear.

If the problem remains, please check:
1) Go to the camera's Device Settings > Device Info page, tap the Wi-Fi icon, and send us the RSSI value.
2) How about the download and upload speed on your phone/laptop when it is near the camera and connected to the router's Wi-Fi?
3) Do you have a problem when watching the camera's live feed?

Best Regards

Hi! The network signal is good, in my opinion. Both on the phone and camera. It shows 3 green bars and has -62 (RSSI) at the moment. The problem is not when live-streaming but only when it auto-records on movement and only in 2K, not in 1080p. Best regards, Björn
