Hi,

 

I have two camera devices attached to my H200 Hub - a Doorbell and a C425 camera (with solar panel).

 

Everything looks to be set up correctly with both devices showing in the Hub but whilst the doorbell happily records video to Hub SD card, the C425 won't. Aside from the fact I assumed that with the solar panel, I would be able to continuously record (which I can't), even if I manually try to record video, it doesn't work.

 

After manual recording, the app tells me that "recording is saved to memory" and a little thumbnail disappears over the "Playback & download" button. However when checking Playback & Download, it shows no recordings.

 

I have been through every setting from the device and hub side but I just can't see why it's not sending recordings to the Hub. It's not a signal issue as the Hub is about 1m away showing full signal, I can watch live video and it works with the doorbell flawlessly which is a floor below and much further away.

 

Is there anything else obvious to look for or is the support for the C425 and the H200 not quite completely working? I could put an SD card in the camera itself I suppose but the point of the Hub is to keep everything central.

 

Thanks

For this type of issue -- camera cannot record videos to the hub, the following tips might help to resolve it:

1. Make sure camera's storage location has been set to the hub. How to connect Tapo Wi-Fi Cameras/doorbells with Tapo Hub

2. Camera's detection feature works correctly. 

3. Format the SD card in the Tapo app. 

 

 

The manual recorded video or the screenshots are saved to your phone's gallery automatically. In the Tapo app, you can find them in the Playback & Download > Download page.

Yes, the storage path is showing as the H200. I noticed yesterday that the manual recordings I tried to make had actually saved directly to my phone (the device that I was using the Tapo App on). I didn't even realise this was an option.

How many cameras and doorbells are linked to the H200 right now? There is no sd card on the C425, right?

 

The manual recorded video or screenshots will be saved to phone's gallery automatically if the Tapo app has been granted the gallery permission. You can also find the in the Tapo app through the path I mentioned earlier.

  @Wayne-TP  just the doorbell and the C425. No SD card in either as I had aways intended to use the H200. There about about 10 sensors connected to the hub also (contact and motion).
