Model: Tapo C210  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: unknown

Hello @Solla-topee ,

 

I recently bought a second hand Tapo C210 with HW version 2.2.

 

I am not hable to connect it to the Tapo App since the camera is blinking slowly in red color all the time with the two IR leds swithched on.

 

I have tried to press the reset button, to do a 5s reset and 10s reset. The camera does not anything and keeps on in the same state blinking slowly in red and with the two IR leds swiched on.

 

I also try to find the Tapo_Cam_XXXX SSID network but it is not detected. I also tried to manually connect to that specific SSID but it does not work.

 

Previous owner tells me he already disabled it from his account. 

 

What can i do? Is there any way to reflash it via SSD? There is no way i can connect to it.

 

I have anothe tapo cam C200 and two tapo P100 working flawlessly in my Tapo App and home network.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
You can try the following steps and check if they help.
  1. Turn off your camera, and remove the SD card from it if there is one. Turn the camera back on with the original power adapter and cord.
  2. Wait for two minutes, press and hold the reset button on the camera for 10 seconds to perform a factory reset. Then, check the LED status on the camera. 
  3. If the LED is flashing red and green, you can try to reconfigure the camera in the Tapo app: How to set up the Tapo camera
  4. If the camera's LED does not change and the camera does not respond to the reset operation, it may be that the camera has an issue.

 

Typically, it's recommended to purchase a camera from an authorized retailer. Where to Buy
 

Best Regards
