Live Stream Paused
I have 3 x C225 and 1 x C520 cameras connected to my H500. I keep getting this message on all 4 cameras on the HDMI output of the H500:
Live Stream Paused.
Battery-powered cameras only start mirroring when an event is
detected. If AI Detection is disabled, mirroring will be deactivated.
None of the cameras are battery powered - they all run on the supplied AC-DC adapter.
The video stream on the Android app is not interrupted while the H500 is saying it is paused.
I think the duty cycle of off to on is about 50% so the H500 is pretty well unusable which is a pity as I only bought it to monitor my cameras from a spare HDMI monitor. At the moment I spend more time looking at the messages than any useful picture - usually 2 of the 4 are off at any given point in time.
Is this a known issue & will it be fixed with a firmware update?

@sroza1 I have been trying to update mine, which is still stuck at 1.3.12 Build 20251217 rel. 50878. As soon as I hit the Check for Update button it flashes for a fraction of a second and then says "Firmware Up to Date".

100% same here. Funny that tp-link won't look into this unless we waste our personal time to have them look into it for us.
I can't even tell whether this firmware release is live. Whatever. Maybe I'll contact them this week. It just seems silly that we've told Wayne that their sh!t isn't working and instead of looking into the report of issues, they want us to do the heavy lift.
Silly and not customer-focused.

Tapo H500's latest firmware 1.3.12 Build 20260128 rel.51424 has been out for some time now. If there were a widespread issue, we would have received a significant number of reports by now, which i haven’t seen so far in the community, and i did check with the support team, they also tell me the same thing. Therefore, your situation appears to be an isolated case. That's why I recommend contacting our support team for help. They can examine your specific device and provide a solution -- a step that goes beyond what I can assist with from here, even though I’d like to help.
To put it simply, it’s like trying to find a specific stone on a beach. Even if you tell me it’s there, without detailed information (like its location, appearance, or approximate size), it remains very difficult to locate.
