Hello @Solla-topee

 

Thanks for the link to the UK TP-Link web-site.

 

Unfortunately, the information displayed there is incorrect.

 

Just today (March 27 2026) the V1 firmware list has been updated and now shows a very old firmware release (1.1.2) as being the most recent:

https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/tapo-c200/v1/#Firmware-Release-Notes

 

The previous V1 firmware release was version 1.3.17 (I have this installed on my V1 cameras).

 

Are you really reverting the firmware on the V1 hardware to version 1.1.2?

Is this being rolled out to customers?

 

I suspect someone has made a mistake, and published a very old firmware build in error.

You might want to investigate this as a matter or urgency!

 

 

Also, the firmware list for the V2 cameras is out of date on that UK site.

It doesn't include the most recent V2 firmware (which is also 1.3.17, and which I have installed on my V2 cameras).

Instead the UK web-site lists V2 1.3.16 firmware as being the most recent:

https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/tapo-c200/v2/#Firmware-Release-Notes

 

 

The French web-site DOES list the V2 1.3.17 firmware, but the release notes say only "Enhanced device stability and security", which isn't at all helpful.

I'm sure your developers must be able to provide a more meaningful description of the changes you have just rolled out to your customers.

So, could you find out exactly what was changed in the V2 1.3.17 firmware update, please?

 

(This was actually the question I came here hoping to have answered before I noticed all the other problems with your web-site!)

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

Sorry to piggy-back into this thread but I have a c200 v1 & I'm wondering if the "special version" firmware would help me.

 

My C200 is in a gradual retirement  (superseded by a newer model) where it now does little more than point at my router to monitor it. As such, some days it didn't record at all, other days I might get 1-3 recordings.

 

Starting at 09:17 this morning (7 April) it began recording pretty much continuously with nothing I could identify triggering it (motion only). I added person detection & it then started detecting people as well - who weren't there!  I reduced the detection area & it seems to have calmed down. 
 

It's currently on firmware 1.3.17 (don't know when it updated) so I'm wondering if this update has caused the change in behaviour? It's in a cupboard with no passing traffic so I'm at a bit of a loss to understand the sudden detection increase - unless flashing lights/changes in lighting are now triggers?

 

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, if it is I'm sure that you'll deal with it. 

 

Regards
