Yesterday morning my Tapo C210 camera did a update and after a reboot I lost the live stream that has been working fine till then.

I use a local host wifi network with 3 cameras on it and have 2 new cameras to add to the network. I have another C210 and a C420 solar camera to setup and as the 1st ç210 was under testing I am more than upset that this has happened. I spent a lot of money on these Tapo cameras only to find out that I may have to trash them and buy a different brand altogether. My internet ISP is TPG iiNet so I was staying with my ISP brand.

The update has stuffed up my security monitoring and as far as I'm concerned the Tapo cameras are not true security monitoring cameras in the true sense of the word.

I installed the network analyser app and for some reason I cannot ping the cameras ip address on the network even though the camera still works sort of *NOW*.

Is the camera still working as it should?

I'm not getting any notifications from it now.

So what happened TP LINK?

Something has changed with your software that you have put the limit on the streaming time. 5 minutes tap continue, 5 minutes tap continue just to view my cameras stream!

Before the update the stream was 24/7 with no drop outs.

I tried to do a network stream with VLC Player but because of no connection via IP address I can't do that.

My router is a Archer VX220 and a Wave line wifi extender just for the cameras. My Lenovo M10 tablet X 2 has has 1 task, camera streaming. The other 2 cameras on the network are running fine with 24/7 viewable streaming.

So the fix to this issue and everyone else having this issue is for you to do another update to address this as I'm sure many customers will be trashing their Tapo cameras

and buying another brand.
