Tapo C411 – Repeating Audio Interference Noise (Spectrogram Attached)
Hi,
I recently purchased a Tapo C411 battery camera and I’m experiencing a constant repeating noise in both live view and recorded video/audio.
- The issue occurs in a completely quiet room
- It happens in every location I tested
- Firmware is up to date
- Audio settings reset do not help
- Other Tapo cameras I own (Tapo C100 and other wired models) have clean audio
I recorded the sound and analyzed it in Audacity. The spectrogram shows narrow-band, periodic interference around 1.15–1.25 kHz and 1.55–1.56 kHz, repeating continuously. This may suggests internal switching noise leaking into the microphone circuit (likely DC-DC converter or Wi-Fi bursts).
This appears to be a hardware interference issue, not environmental noise.
I would like to know:
-
Is this a known issue with the Tapo C411 and/or C410 battery version?
-
Are there different hardware revisions with improved audio shielding?
-
Should I request a replacement, or is this expected behavior for this model?
-
Is there any planned firmware fix for this internal noise?
I’m attaching:
-
An audio sample (.flac)
-
A spectrogram screenshot showing the interference pattern
Any support or clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
