3 Cameras can not fotmat Sd card of 256 Gb
I have 3 cameras c210. When you install them one is notified that the SD card can be installed up 512 Gb.
Nevertheless none of the 3 cameras can use a 256 Gb card.
When requested to format the card they quit at 80% with a message like this.
" format has failed try again later"
I need some help here

Hi,
You can refer to the instructions below to troubleshoot the reported issue.
What should I do if the SD card cannot be formatted/recognized?
If the problem persists, please confirm the following information.
1. Is your Tapo C210's hardware version V2?
2. What's the model number of the microSD card inserted into the camera?
3. Try a different SD card if you have one.
Best Regards

I tried to send the features of the SD card but the app doesn't allow to send the message.
So I sent you the info by message.
I sent above the picture of the message where you can see the app says the card of 238 GB is to large.
And some places there's written that TP-link cameras accept only 128GB cards

Hi,
The error message displayed on the Tapo app indicates that the inserted SD card may be an expanded card, which will not be formatted successfully and will not function properly on our camera. It's recommended to refer to the following instructions to verify your microSD card with the "H2testw" tool. Then, please send me a picture of the test result.
How to Verify Fake Micro SD Cards
The maximum SD card capacity supported by different Tapo camera models may vary slightly. You can first confirm the model and hardware version of your camera. Then, go to our official website, navigate to the camera's Overview page, select the correct hardware version, and check the maximum SD card capacity it supports.
For the Tapo C210 V2, the maximum SD card capacity it supports is 512 GB.
Best Regards
