Model: Tapo C310  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.4.2

Both of my c310 cameras had a firmware update yesterday (June 4th 2025). Now images are in black and white only as if they are recording at night. 

 

Any ideas?

  @TamsJ Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work for me. Looks like it's a known issue so I'll wait for the fix.

Same for me in C310.

Another day the camera does not work properly after the update.

After the night it does not switch to day mode but still records at night.

I have to manually change what was this update for?

  @TimBaxter 

Both of mine are the same model and they are doing exactly the same! I unplug them for a few seconds, plug them back in and they go back to normal, but within half and hour, they are both back to black and white!

Three of my cameras updated to 1.4.2 and have this issue. One was left at 1.3.16 and does not. Please fix ASAP

Update, one camera in the back garden came back to colour yesterday, however the driveway camera is still black and white.
