Model: Tapo C201  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.3.1

I have recently upgraded firmware of my camera C201 to 1.3.1, post this upgrade my local storage capacity has suddenly reduced to 50% from before. I am having 256 GB of Sandisk SD card but now getting only 15 days of local recording. This recording was for 30 days before the upgrade. I had tried to change the video quality to 720P,  formatted the disk, rebooted the device, but no luck. Is anyone facing similar issues

Hi,  
Typically, updating the camera's firmware won't change the microSD card's capacity. If your microSD card fills up faster than expected, please refer to the instructions below to troubleshoot.
What can I do if my Tapo camera's microSD card fills up faster than expected?
Best Regards

I had done all the settings shared by you. Even after that my storage capacity is halved. I am having 4 C201 cameras. Before the firmware upgrade 256 GB SD card was storing recordings for 30 days, now it is keeping for 14 days only. What i noticed is that post upgrade my recording speeds of all the cameras got changed to 20 Fps which i then reduced in back to 15 FPS. Dont know if this change has really gone to the cameras or the firmware has already locked the speed to 20 or 25 FPS. Dont have to find it. Let me know if there is a way to find the resolution and speed of the recordings

Hi,
Usually, you can download a video from the SD card, open it with Windows Media Player or VLC Media Player, and check the resolution and frame rate in these players.
For example, in Windows Media Player, you can open the video, right-click it, and select Properties > Details to find the resolution and frame rate. 

 

For the reported phenomenon, please confirm the following information for further analysis.
  1. Do you have a 256GB SD card inserted into each camera? Or do you have a Tapo hub with an SD card inserted, and all cameras save video recordings to the same SD card?
  2. Are all Tapo C201 cameras set to continuous video recording?
  3. What's the video's resolution and frame rate you confirmed?
  4. Please send us a screenshot of the camera's Device Settings > Storage & Recording > Local Storage page.

 

Best Regards
