Model: Tapo C520WS  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.2 Build 250701 Rel.58436n

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing a bizarre issue with my Tapo C520WS V2. It is connected through a wired connection, suddenly started exhibiting the same problem:

- Using Tapo app,when I play videos under [Playback and Download] it starts for 1-2 seconds, then freeze for 2 seconds, then fast-forward to the end.

Here are the details:

- Camera model: [Tapo C520WS]
- Connection: 1 camera via network cable to the internet router - Internet: 100Mbps download, 100Mbps upload fiber (stable, no changes)
- Firmware: Updated on all cameras

- I use my camera with Tapo hub H200 and have a 256gb SD card installed in it.

- Recording at 2K quality 
- Restarted cameras, switch, and router multiple times

Interestingly, about 2 out of 10 videos download normally, while the rest exhibit the issue.

The cameras were working fine when i installed it then suddenly after 2-3 days this issue arose. I've tried troubleshooting, but I'm stumped.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

PS: I have a Tapo C320WS with the exact same connection and it is 25m away from the router and connected through ethernet and it is working perfectly fine and the Tapo C520WS is 10m away from my router and having the issue, The only difference is that the Tapo C320WS was connceted through a POE Splitter and the Tapo C520WS was directly connected to a LAN cable (the power cable was directly connected to the lan cable) and then near the router it was powered through a 9V 1A Adapter.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
Please confirm the following information about the reported phenomenon.


  1. Are the Tapo C520WS's video recordings stored on the SD card inserted into the hub?
  2. Would you please send us a video showing the reported phenomenon?
  3. Is the camera powered by the original power adapter and cord that come with it in the package?
  4. What phenomenon do you encounter when you fail to download the video clips from the SD card?

 

Best Regards

Here are the answers-
  1. Yes, The recordings are stored in the H200 Hub and the SD Card is of HIK VISION 256GB
  2. Yes, I'll attach 3 clips in this google drive link-       ​​​

  3. No, it is powered by an alternate adapter with 9V 1Amp which is 15m away from the camera (it is directly powered via ethernet cable)
  4. I can download the clips but they are very sluterry when the camera detects motion.

  @Pranavpws Hi, if the Tapo H200 is not wired to your router,  try that and see if it helps.
