Description
If you have a Tapo camera or doorbell that is a sub-device of the Tapo H200, or the video storage path is set to a Tapo H200, and the H200 is in the above firmware versions, you might notice the camera or doorbell suddenly stop functioning correctly, such as:
1. The camera live view fails to load, displaying the message "Tap to Refresh."
2. The camera's LED shows it is online (e.g., solid green), but the detection and recording features stop working, and there are no detection notifications.
Solution
Fixed in Tapo H200's latest firmware 1.6.1 Build 20251230 rel.64168.
Note: New firmware releases are typically done in stages and are not sent to all devices at once. If your device has not yet received this version of firmware, please be patient as the firmware release will gradually scale up to 100%.

@Wayne-TP I just checked and my H200 had already updated itself to the new version. Thanks.
All seems to be working so far - although it's one of those reliability issues that will need to be proven over time. Crossed fingers!

I have this 1.6.0.Build 2025090915 ref 33520 firmware in my H200 and D205 Doorbell and have the the Jingle bell problem and also i am not receiving any doorbell pressed notifications and also cannot communicate/speak to anyone who presses the doorbell.
But my H200 Hub says it has the latest firmware?..and is on Auto update.
I only purchased the H200 and D206 Doorbell last week!
Should it have access to the latest firmware? Can you tell me if it will cure my problem please and when will my H200 receive this firmware update?
I have spent many hours trying obtain solution with different settings from various Threads on this forum which just don't work.
I am getting very frustrated with this equipment...
Thank you
