Hi,
Usually, you can refer to the following instructions to troubleshoot if you fail to format your microSD card.
What should I do if the SD card cannot be formatted/recognized?
 

If the same phenomenon persists, please check whether your microSD card is on the compatibility list. If not, we suggest purchasing a microSD card from the compatibility list and inserting it into the camera to store video.

Best Regards

Hi Jackdiamond,

Same here, I formatted my sd micro card on my tablet but on fitting it into my tapo c530ws camera, I was informed that the card is not formatted! Can it be formatted in the camera?

Hi,
Typically, after inserting a microSD card into the camera, you need to format it in the Tapo app before using it.
You can go to the Tapo app > camera's Device Settings > Storage & Recording > Local Storage, then tap Format microSD Card to format the inserted microSD card.
Best Regards
